inderraj Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi guys Just bought a 12g Hushpower yesterday, and received a slab of the above 32 gram cartridges with it as a part of the deal (Great service by the guys over at Leek Shooting Supplies in Stoke on Trent btw). Has anyone had any experience with these shells in a 12G? how well do they perform? What kind of shells do you guys use in a 12G Hushpower? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7daysinaweek Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 hi just sold my 12g hushpower last month after 12 years of having it, the very first month i got it i bought 500 eley hushpower carts, cannot remember the exact shot size and gram but they where very quiet and worked ok on rabbit and pigeon out to max 35 yards for me and my capabilities. i gave a couple of boxes to me mate who is a very good pigeon shooter and he said had very good results from them out to his personal capabilities and even he was surprised at the decrease in sound and capabilities through his un moderated o/u. that said after the ist load i went over to putting a good standard 30 gram six pigeon load and the ballistics and efficiency was better than the subby through it. for me the only benefit using the subsonic was the moderation and on the face of it was not worth the extra cost for me to continue buying subsonic cartridges just for the sound moderation capabilities. however as always you may require yours for shooting in close proximity to buildings, stock etc and as always each situation and cost to be taken on its own merit and they may be the way forward for your exact requirements. atb 7diaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle boy Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I use them in a single barrel moderated pedretti there good on pigeons and rabbits, I use it quite a lot on a dairy farm where they have loads of jackdaws pooing on the food. I knocks them down well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Make homeloads. Home made subs are cheaper, more effective and all but widely available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inderraj Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks for the information guys. Never really done any homeloads before, might have to look into that. What kind of initial investment would i be looking at to get it all set up? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Lee loadall2, 'bout fiddy bucks. Cheap enough to try. Infact they are the cheapest start. Making subs is about £180/k any shotsizes. (Except buckshot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
