walt1980 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Has anyone used the above in either 4 or 5? Off to Wales to do a high/extreme day, not used any of the above but wondered if anyone had and what they thought of them? Hull or Gamebore seem to be pretty popular for bigger loads??

Smokersmith Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yep ... used a slab of the 35g Fibre 5's in the Valleys last year. They patterned more openly through my guns than the Gamebore, and although brought down quite a few, I went back to plastic wads where I could. If you're anywhere near the Fens soon, give me a shout and I can let you have a few for comparison purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt1980 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I had a box of them a while a go and patterned a couple, found the same to be honest, but only compared it to a Proper Cartridge 36g 5. Wondered if anyone had patterned them against a Hull or Gamebore. Its fibre only where were going. I think now Ive got doubts its better to try and get some of the others and at least pattern a few. Not seen many people mention them so wondered if peoples general opinion was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Gamebore fibre were tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberFowl Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I use the number 4s for duck on the Foreshore 3/4 choke on myne seems to throw them in a good pattern at Range They kill duck at decent range for me if I do my bit!

billytheghillie Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I use RC Sipe in 32g 5&6 and they kill, as long as you do your part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair0903 Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I know this is a old thread, however thought this would be helpful to people. I patterned RC hyperfasts in 35g 4’s this morning. The results are as mentioned above, too much choke equals blown patterns. I am now sticking to my 3/8 and 5/8 chokes. All patterns were done @50yards. I was sure I was going to need full and 3/4 at that distance…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just was no real pattern to it, and big gaps. Like I thought 3/8 would do at that distance, however I was surprised. 7 minutes ago, Shotkam said: That is exactly what I have seen Teague recommend on several occasions for heavier loads. Don’t say that, I will have to buy more Teague chokes to try out 🙈 Will have to get something a little more open for steel maybe skeet and 3/8…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my game shooting is done through Teague 3/8 and 1/2 chokes, with RC SIPE 32g 5’s. My favourite decoying choke is 3/8 also, either Teague or Briley, with Eley Pigeon Select 30g 6’s. All work absolutely splendidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried my normal load 30g 5 Sipe extremes, they looked fine through 3/8 and 5/8 at 40 yards. If I do my bit they will be dead 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
