PPP Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hi Guys Any suggestion for 5 shot (2.8mm) pigeon cartridges please, happy with the price of all the 6 shot pigeon cartridges but 5’s kill better (not wishing to start a debate) on pigeon and other vermin Struggling to see why there is £100 price hike to game cartridges when load size is the same .. especially when I have so many crows to remove. 2.8mm extreme 6’s also ok.. its just marketing ********.

GingerCat Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Rc romagnola in a 6 is a UK 5 or 5.5. Very hard hitting and an odd smell when fired. Relatively cheap if you can find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motty Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 How about pretending you have 5s in when you actually are using 6s? I think you'll do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoTsHoT-10 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hi PPP, not sure if you have anybody near yourself that stock these but they are very good for the money, they also do the “special” in 32g fibre #5 for little more. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
