Change of cartridge

[dad]

been using eley pigeon select 30grm 6s 1375 fps for about a 2 years now and get on ok with them  and need to re order 4000 i can get them for £235 per 1000 but been looking at the hull pigeon superfast 29grm 6 1425 fps at £220 per 1000 should i go for the faster cheaper cart or would the extra speed affect my shooting too much.both plastic wad. Any opinions out there.

I find the hull pigeon superfast a very good cartridge but at the end of the day if you've used a certain cartridge for two years with good results why change, I'd stick with what you and your shotgun are used to,

I like the superfast pigeon, might be worth patterning one box if you can before you commit?

I love the Superfast .... very confident with them. They’re punchier to me than the Express Pigeon Power, but both cracking shells.

Also .... don’t believe that 50fps will make a jot of difference!!

I use super fast pigeon. Miss just as well as anything else.

It's a lot of cartidges to buy if you don't get on with them (can you swap them if that's the case).

If you ever come across any Super Accurate Pigeon, or Never Miss Pigeon, I'll be up for some of that.

I don't use them as I only use fibre, but did check out the plastic option and was very impressed . Thoroughly annoyed when I found out that initially Eley were telling porkies about the availability of 28g in fibre. If you're getting stuff for pigeon and plastic is of no concern, try a few of the 28g Eley Superbs in 7 shot. £234 from Just Cartridges.

Pigeon power 29g are very good and I need to buy some more. The new clear pigeon (white cases) are very convincing as well as I have tried a few boxes and they impressed me. Jdog loves super fast and has some cracking birds with them so who am I to argue. 

Romagnola 32g fibre (might have been 30g can't remember) where cheap and exceptionally hard hitting but then were a UK size 5/5.5. Had an odd smell when fired but that didn't put me off. 

All there abouts within a tenner a slab of each other and I bet if a blind test was conducted there would be little in it. 

The clay ground were selling jocker in 7.5 (UK 7) plastic for 40 quid a slab. They were great on pigeons but he only does UK 7.5s now.

It’s whatever works for you , in your mind your used to those carts then stick to them , for me I buy 30,s or 32,s for pigeon never really got hung up on brand ,with me I’m sure if you put a handful of each in a bag and I shot them I wouldn’t know the difference , it’s not as if you’re talking a huge price gap I’d say they would be almost identical in the field but the end of the day it’s youre choice , why not buy a couple of boxes and try them next time you’re out

I changed to Superfasts from Hull Imperial Game six years ago. I may have missed several thousand pigeons in that time but they remain my cartridge of choice.

I have used Hull superfast pigeon cartridges for 3 years on the pigeon.  The ones I use are Fibre wad, and I can't fault them through a 12 g auto.  My auto is a 3 1/2 " chamber, and I was worried about obturation in the big chamber. I cut a cartridge open, and found they had a very long wad column, using two fibre wads as well as cards.  Maybe this helps; it certainly works.
