lksopener Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Yep the VP53 was formally known as the Vagner wad I believe. I have no need for this load at the minute but for the lads shooting pigeons it’s supposed to kill well by all accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will kill pigeons well to around 30 yards, if you want more range tighten up your choke or go to bigger shot. A size 6 steel will be a great size for decoying. All this go up at least two sizes isn't always right. I shoot ducks with size 4 steel and they take more to bring down than pigeons. Patterning with your carts and chokes is key, you know what it's capabilities are then. Just now, figgy said: Not if your getting them in close enough.
