tweedledee Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 either gamebore or kent velocity 32 no6. i may use 30g for the pigeons. big crows need a little more thump to kill cleanly.always found that bloke too dear and hes only about 3 miles from me.

Paladin Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Anyone used Eley First 7 1/2 fiber over deeks ? The price looks good I believe they use the same powder as Rio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmerboy Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 i have used clear pigeon 6s but now i use eley reatree 6 1/2. so far i have been hitting well with them. i have now used 200 shells and my hit rate has increased from 3 per bird to under 2 shells a bird. i am a learner shooter. i got them for £164 a thousand. good price. i like the colour because when they have been fired and get dropped the pigeons do not see a bright colour and fly away. They are hard to find after when cleaning up so i just lump them in one pile once shot. I would advise you try them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Master Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Anyone used Eley First 7 1/2 fiber over deeks ? The price looks good I believe they use the same powder as Rio. Don't worry about the same powder or not, there's loads of different types on the market and the chances are a 24g load won't be using the same as a 32g load from the same maker due to different pressures. What you do want to worry about is shot size and 28g of 7.5's is far from ideal for pigeons. Anything close will be riddled with lead and anything much beyond 30 yards will stand a good chance of just being pricked. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmerboy Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 i get my pigeons as close as i can. always the best way forward. i can also hit them at 50 yars. well i have before but that is difficult with 61/2. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 i get whatever is cheap and punchy, in that order. my personal preferance is hull, then lylevale, then Rio / gamebore / rc . i`ve not really used much else, - however i`m working my way through some henry krank 30g#7 fibre, and rotweil 36 #4 #2. hull is a nice cartridge, lylevale is a secondbest. i try and get fibre whenever i can. i was very impressed by the value of rio ammo !
