ElvisThePelvis Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Has anyone tried these? I am looking for a cartridge for roost shooting through a light sxs. Currently using 28g Dark Storm 2.8mm as anything heavier and the recoil is excessive but at range it feels that the pattern Is a little thin, going to 32g in Regal 2.8 mm would give higher shot count, I can live with lower velocity. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have used a few on pheasants. A bit expensive for pigeons. I would just use an ounce of 7 for the pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I won't shoot enough for the costs to be an issue, I have been using Dark Storm so far, it would also be handy to stick with one cartridge for the game season too. How did you find the recoil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 They are soft shooting, certainly more so than an RC Sipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElvisThePelvis Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Just to update this thread, I have tried the 32g 5 Regal Game a couple of times now through my sxs, they seem fine but 32g is too much for the gun, will try 30g 6 next. I did shoot a high pigeon this morning which was well hit and seemed to fly on for a while before plummeting to earth, not sure if that is the cartridge or just someing that happens some times. As it stands I like them no less than Dark Storm 28g 6 (English 5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I put clear pigeon 32 6 felt wad through my SXS this winter and was amazed at some of the long range kills. The recoil wasn't excessive. Probably wouldn't want to shoot 100 through it too fast but for a normal sub 25 shot day, they were impressive. I had previously used RC professional 30 6 felt, which were very good too, but no longer stocked at my nearest dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
