Cheers Wam I have used loads of Eley cartridges and have always found them to be soft hitting. Try some Lyalvale Express Special game or pigeon special.

08shooter Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 due to the price increase i was mixing trap 7.5s with 32 no. 6s.i have to say that if i hit the 1st bird within 35 yds with the trap 7.5 it was killing well.i will continue to use them as they do the job ok.i would however reccomend 6s for longer shots.if they come in close enough the traps do ok.this is only my experience you may totally disagree with me.

Whitebridges Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Eley 32g HB pigeon plastic wad 6.5's. Tried some of the groovy Eley Realtree 30g recently bloody good shells, despite the rubbish they are packed in. When I'm feeling rich I like Hull High Pheasant photo degradable wad 30g 7's. A mate likes Hull special pigeon 32g 6's which seen softer shooting than the Eley. It's hard to buy **** pigeon loads these days, such is the competition for your money. Right up there with the best are Gamebore Clear Pigeon and the Saga 30g load. Hull Imperial game 28g 7's are very good for 'coying birds that are consistently close in. Just my humble opinion.

EvoCars Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 i was using express hv 7.5s yesterday, up to 35- 40 yards, all hard hit clean kills on pigeons, prob no good for crows tho at that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_88 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 When i can get them i use Gamebore clear pigeon No6 30g, but my local dealer has been out of stock every time i have been in recently so i have been using Eley grand prix No6 30g. The Eley's seem fine but i prefer the clear pigeon to anything else i have tried. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I use Game Bore High Bird 32g No6. You can get GB Clear Pigeon in a 32g as well but they seam to be hard to come by for some obscure reason. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanky Doodle Pigeon Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 When i can get them i use Gamebore clear pigeon No6 30g, but my local dealer has been out of stock every time i have been in recently so i have been using Eley grand prix No6 30g.The Eley's seem fine but i prefer the clear pigeon to anything else i have tried. Rob Scatts do Clear Pigeons in Basingstoke and Newbury. I think there's a Scatts in your neck of the woods Lymington way. May be worth a try.

Oly Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Generally around 30gm 6's.

Fibre wad is a must for anything other than a range. 32g 6# for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
