Smokersmith Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Picked up a slabΒ of these today. Could be what I use on early season partridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! The 28 gram isn't the issue it's that 7.5 shot at close range partridge in a gun with more that 1/.4 chioke might leave a lot of shot in the bird when it comes to eating it. It'll kill well and kill dead in the air of that have no doubt...but that's a lot of pellets maybe in the bird?

Stonepark Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Lol... That cartridge will drop anything up to a Pheasant everytime if on target out to 40 yards through anything from IC upwards. Β Whilst it says 7.5 shot, victory is Euro sized so a UK no7. Pattern is King, Energy\Penetration is Queen but you need both for a clean kill.

Stonepark Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 At 340 pellets per cartridge this is only 35 more pellets than a 32g No6, which may result in 1 extra pellet in the bird over the 32g no6. Nothing to worry about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Unless theyβre being shot close, when 32g of 6βs will also not help the eating quality!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
