Farmboy91 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Found a spent cartridge yesterday while out for a walk, the brass was missing and it had been squashed flat, all I could make out was Pigeon Rabbit Pheasant Writen on it. Have tried the obvious Google search but couldn't seem to find anything. Any one in the PW massive know of these carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 If memory serves me right they were made by gamebore, shot quite a lot of them back in the late nineties early noughties, 30g 6s, a decent budget cartridge that accounted for a lot of game.

Thanks! My missus hates it, I can't resist picking up a spent cart to see what was being used haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to buy them by the 1000 in the 90s from Jimmy Ling at Hoxne , he recon they were the same load as clear pigeon , that was when Clear Pigeon were £90 a 1000 so that will tell you how old they are .

Way before my shooting time lol, I did read on here somewhere I think that wild game was clear pigeon just in different packaging, not something new to gamebore then. Not a massive fan of clear pigeon but wouldn't mind being able get them for £90 for a 1000 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I shot one of my first ever 100 plus bags of pigeons with these cartridges, way back in 2001. They were borrowed from an old gamekeeper near Feltwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
