oldypigeonpopper Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 hello, going to try out tomorrow (pigeon shooting) so what cartridge do PW members suggest to use, checked barrel markings at 2 3/4 and 3 inch chamber so would a 70 mm x 29g 6 shot be okay ? i do realize due to the guns weight (6llb.10oz) will be more kick but the last time i shot an O/U (lamber sporter) it was 2 1/2 inch eley impacts 1 oz load and eley game 1 1/16 oz load, cheers for replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 The gun will handle the load fine, your shoulder well depends on how much you feel the recoil, Are the 29g no6 hull superfast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningDJC Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 For any light 12 bore game gun I would recommend gamebore super game or hull imperial game in 28 gram, if you do find the pigeon power punchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I use 27g Power Red 7's (fibre) in mine-clay cartridge but no complaints so far from the pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Any 28gr load will be fine ( Imperials, Impax and several others). I use 30gr Eley VIP or Hull High Pheasant in a 687 Light Weight game but usually no more than about 50 a day. Shooting pigeons your farmer will not appreciate you spreading plastic wads everywhere so pick one with a felt wad. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
