Its all bull poo. Do they both come with that Gordon recoil system? I've not seen a super game high bird cartridge before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The super game ones are a few quid more. I see they are a 65mm case and pitched as a SxS cartridge but I was looking at both last night and wondering if there’s much difference? 🤷♂️ With the amount of shooting that I now do a few quid doesn't come into the equation. Performance-wise there's no great difference, but to be pedantic, the Hi Birds (possibly because they're slower) pattern better (quality) and with a little less choke for the equivalent density than the BDs. What I can be absolutely sure of though is that my rheumatic shoulder knows full well the difference between the two. I'm hoping for some nice warm days when I can use up my remaining stock of the BDs before things deteriorate too far. I've had to dispose of the gun in which I used them and which suited them better as it became too painful to lift let alone shoot at times.

Oh ok 👍, was just curious to know if there was any real difference in the recoil between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use blue diamonds on the clays, not sure the recoil system actually made any difference or not. Would be interesting to shoot the two side by side for a comparison.

That’s the thing, if they used a slower burning powder or something that make them nicer to shoot them fair enough. Just be nice to know 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
