A while ago i decieded to change back to No 7.....motty said i wouldnt go far wrong using Fiocchi....thats fine for the sxs 28gm #7 plasi-wad...but im now using the auto more and would like to use a heavier load 1oz1/16 (a normal size cartridge) 30gm....but fiocchi dont do that in plasi-wad can anyone reccomend me a 30gm #7 plasi-wad......that they use regular in the field on pigeons......

fenboy Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) There are a few , Eley pigeon select , gamebore clear pigeon to name two . Fiocchi do make a 30 gram load , I use Fiocchi pigeon 32 which is a 32 gram load but they also do one called PL30 which is a 30 gram.

TIDES EDGE Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Proper Cartridges as seen on here they realy do kill well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Eley pigeon hb do a 6.5 in 30gm with a plas wad, they might be as near as you can get. Hull high pheasant do a 30gm no7 but only in fibre i think and a bit pricey for shooting pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 but what i see on just carts...the 30's and 32's gm are fibre wad........!! They come in both plastic and fibre , Just Cartridges perhaps do not stock the full range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ditchy ol' buoy. I've got a few boxes of Express Super Game 32. Surprisingly they are 32g of English No 7 shot, 70mm, plastic wad. Supreme pigeon killers in the right hands. If you have the time and inclination to take a look at my robin disc cutter we might be able to sort something?

ditchman Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Why do you want a bigger load, Ditch? to quite honest i havnt got a concrete reason.......28gm have always been a nice round to fire out of the sxs...providing they wernt too pokey............now that i use the auto more..its just a numbers thing..28-30gms means more pellets in #7...............i was seduced 5 or 6 years ago into using size 6...based on one days pigeonshooting in a strong wind and fast high birds...i had run out of carts and my mate gave me a couple of boxes of 6's........did well and pulled out some very high birds.............so after 25 or so years of using 7's i was seduced just on the basis of one good afternoons shooting..............and quite honestly my ratio since then has got worse...... i have never used 30 gm 7's as i know with the sxs they be would be a bit much for me after 50-70 shots....but as i said im using the auto more an more now....so it is really a calculation.......a look see...........what if ...sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That two grams really is not going to make much difference though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus the blooming cheep as well i did for a short while use winchester 24gm......they were excellent really surprised me and soft but fast.....thought ..this was the cartridge for me ..................then they stopped making them... i was using them on driven partridge .....not high up sky birds driven off a cliff....just very fast ones bursting over hedgrows....no time to think point and shoot stuff...sometimes you were pulling the trigger before the butt was fully in your shoulder...so the winchester were very forgiving .

Go up a notch in choke and forget about the extra 2 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
