maxie Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Has anyone used any of these cartridges decoying and what did they think of them?They do seem a bit on the cheap side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 These are the ones I have been referring to in some of my recent posts. Not suitable for me and my gun would be the most charitable thing I could say about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

propercartridges Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 coz they are trying to compete with propercartridges at 32 gram at 189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I have had really good results with this cartridge. I have shot some good distance birds including Crows and they have come down dead. But what works for some may not work for others Edited October 15, 2015 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) I get on really well with the "Eley Pigeon Cartridge" i.e. Eley HB 32g 6.5 shot. I haven't tried the new Pigeon select yet. It looks like Eley will still have both in their range? Their website is so so bad : http://www.eleyhawkltd.com/cartridge/12-gauge/game/pigeon-select-and-eley-pigeon ......and i quote. This is a specially designed cartridge for woodies which has evolved though the years to become the nation’s favourite. Having the shot made at our own premises allows us to ensure the perfect pellet roundness and size. Pigeon Select comes in a 30 gr 6 shot in Plastic and Fibre The Eley Pigeon cartridge comes in 30gr and 32gr loads, in both plastic and fibre wad options and in 6 1/2 shot Ideal for the younger Pigeons Edited October 16, 2015 by Whitebridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry931 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 They're working quite well for me too Here's a pattern I posted a while back of the fibre version through ~half choke at 40 yards (30" circle). I might have shot a couple inches to the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 You have also written IM on the sheet. It might just be that that is the choke he used but which he has noted produced 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
