WinchesterDave Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 My dad went to get some cartridges today, don't think they had in what I asked and ended up getting these. Never used a 2 1/2" cart on game before. Any quick feedback/reviews of this cartridge - confidence booster before tomorrow morning haha! 32 gram 5 fibre.

dodeer Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 My local shop sells a lot of them, mostly 30g fibre 6. Seem a good reliable game cartridge which will kill nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B525 LIGHT Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Your worrying far too much. Lovely cartridge. Dont get caught up in all the modern marketing clap trap. These shells have felled millions and millions of 50yd pheasants up and down the land for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pykie Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I used them in 30gm 5 fibre on a big shoot down here in Devon. I had the same doubts as you until I killed 32 on one drive. Enjoy your day and stop worrying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwade545 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I choose these in 30g n6 over the supply of eley VIP and gambier black gold I have in the cabinet. Gentle recoil and great kills. My favourites, also work in my old English guns as a true 2 1/2 cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningDJC Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I used these through for quite a few years on game, got on well with them. A very good shot I know used to use these exclusively on game in 28 gram 6 fibre and they seemed to pattern very well, very clean kills.

WinchesterDave Posted December 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 That is interesting to be honest, i simply couldn't get on with them :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) It all depends on the gun and choke, i have loved some cartridges in one gun great patterns and kill very well and hate them in another poor patterns and not killing well at all. In an old long barreled sxs choked very tightly the 25g 6 Express carts were superb,in a shorter barreled cylinder choked gun completely useless, up the payload and shot size the former is no good but the later open choked gun is fine. Buy a few boxes of different makes and loads and pattern them,find your favorite and buy lots of them,no more worries about carts.Poor days are then down to pilot error.

Me matt Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 They leave the barrels filthy compared to Eley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
