Danger-Mouse Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Needed some cartridges for pigeon shooting so I popped into my local gunshop today. I`ve generally used pigeon power or clear pigeon but today rather than asking by brand I just asked what he had in a size 6 shot. Bottom of his price range were the 29gm Velocities, as I use Velocity and Velocity+ for most of my clay shooting I thought I`d give them a whirl. Have been out on the stubble this afternoon and gone through a couple of boxes. Have to say I`m quite taken by them. They seemed to me to be quite soft but had plenty of power to drop birds to at least 40 yards. Relatively cheap too at £48 per slab for fibre wads. Anyone else use/used them?

Caravanman Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've used them and like them. On my gun shops website it looks like they have changed as they are now advertised as "new" and 30 g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 They have done the job for me. I miss just as many with the 29g as the 30g clear pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ears Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I shot 500 of em this year. seemed alright over decoys, was not so impressed with them on flight lines and long stuff though. But shot some 28 gram supreme game by express and they were great but the price was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a303 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Good soft cart but seems lacking at distance, found I had to choke up a notch or two to get decent kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucey Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have used these for years, but I find I can't obtain them from my local gunshop. they're not on the product list from Gamebore apparently (I have looked too) readily available from other places though. Other than that I have found them to be very good. I think you need to get through quite a few in order to 'get used to them' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
