motty Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 It sounds like you are not really listening to the advice you have been given in previous threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Copper plated shot, no doubt good and damn expensive to boot. Probably trying to shift some old stock as no one will use them on pigeons once the game season is over. whether they are worth the extra I don’t know. If only shooting standard quality birds then probably not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYA117 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Why would nobody use them on pigeons ? They are only 50p a box more than High Pheasant extreme that I use for pigeons ! Young guns go and buy some and let us know how they perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodeer Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 If we knew where he lived then I’d go round and give him some 30g 6 and tell him get on with it and not worry about all those variants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYA117 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 If somebody wants to use a high end quality cartridge for their 'special' day who are we to put them down ? A lot of confidence can be gained from using a shell that you 'think' is better than others, what a shame that few of you can remember the excitement of a big day !!!

figgy Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Your local dealer is looking to take as much of your money as he can. The first two types of carts that you were planning to buy some of will be so much better than you are. Don’t be fooled into paying more for coated shiny shot unless you want to. Personally I’d buy a slab of Superfast or Lyalvale Pigeon 29 gram 6shot carts and shoot as many as I could and enjoy pulling the trigger.

Guest stevo Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Just go buy the fastest , most expensive cartridge he has in stock , that way your have 110% confidence in your kit . Job done ✅ nothing can stop you now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Well it has to be said .I sometimes shoot black gold .and if the bird doesnt drop or is a runner I know it wasn't the cart that is to blame. So I makes me shoot better next time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used both of the cartridges you mentioned above and both are excellent cartridges for pigeons , I dare say there isn't many ( if any ) cartridges that are not up to the job of killing pigeons , although there are a lot of people who are not up to the job of killing pigeons with any cartridge that is available on the market . So the op might as well buy a standard cartridge and practice with them at birds well in range , then if / when his skills improve if he wants to buy a more expensive shell well so be it , although the above cartridges will cater for most shots when it comes to pigeon shooting so why pay more ?

figgy Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Shaun anyone repeatedly asking the same question more than once and writing in text speak without saying they have a problem with spelling or anything are bound to get some comments. I don’t think any of the comments are bullying the op. As you say no none of us are aware if he or she has a problem so why wouldn’t they comment. If they do have any difficulties it can’t be too bad as they’re allowed to shoot. Edited December 26, 2017 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
