Ears Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Please give your veiw on cartridges and value for money. 4.3.04 Thanks for your responce Guys, but its true you only get what you pay for then. I do believe that pigeon shells should come in under the £105.00 per tho though. I just bought a thou of Gamebore Volocity 32g plas 6s for £90.00. I will give my opinion later. Anyone shot Winchester Rangers 32g 5s plas in 12 Gauge. 7.03.04 Gamebore Volocity 7/10 alittle better than clear pigeon and a little cheaper to, but thats through my gun. My freind, i was with yestoday had 250 from me and he shot 157 over drillings, so he likes um too, his best day ever. Got to go im out again today and its 7 am tar tar.

webber Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 jono I was always under the impression that it was the object of the cartridge to provide sufficient projectile energy to cleanly kill the quarry; not gut, pluck and prepare for the oven. Whilst the recoil the recoil provided sufficient energy to loosen every tooth and filling in the shooters head. Remember less money in the dentists pocket = more money for shooting! I wonder if I am in correspondence with a bunch of recoil junkies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webber, you are wrong, if the bird is within 40yds, it also gets flash fried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Now Red, it does say that you should not oil your cartridges, and as you know, you do need a little oil to flash fry; otherwise the sky would be full of dead pigeon, stuck to the atmosphere. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONO Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I own a Baikal and my father bought several thousand carts from Trago Mills back in 1985 or thereabouts. I was still shooting them when I was given my gun back in 1991 and my father, who used to beat more than shoot, could tell EXACTLY where I was from the noise of the guns. Guess which one: Pop pop, pop, pop-pop, BOOM, pop, pop, pop-pop BOOM, pop-pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 So jonno, what you are saying is that you are a recoil junky, but is it by default or by birth. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 were they trago mills "gun dog" carts by any chance? i spent the funniest mornings crow shooting ever with a friend who had got hold of a load of loose trago specials cheap, we were shooting over the same pattern from seprate hides about 60 yds ish apart. I would hear a loud bang followed by a spurt of confettie (spelling???) and plenty of smoke followed by a very undead crow flying off like hell in the night and then a load of shouting and swearing that would make bernard manning blush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hi guys! I am new to the forum.I do quite a lot of pigeon shooting.I have been trying different cartridges and i have found gamebore velocity(32 gms,No 6,£100 per thousand) quite good.Recently,i could not resist the temptation to buy some rotweil cartridges (32 gms,No6) for £90 for 1000.I thought the price was excellent and first impression is encouraging.This is a high quality cartridge for an amazing price!I bought them from Bywell gunshop and I plan to visit them again soon!
