mikee Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 hi guys, does anyone on this forum reload pigeon cartridges , with the cost of buying carts these days just wondered if anyone else reloads, i went into a local agricultural suppliers the other day and they wanted £5.30 a box for 32g #6 RC's, f@*k that!! A few years ago i was given some 56lb sacks of lead #6 which i saw in the back of the shed the other day so tonight i have reloaded a test batch of 28g loads from a c&g data sheet to test tomorrow. will post the results and data if anyone is interested, well unless they are either damp squibs or i'm unable to type anymore, i'll fire some at pigeons and some over the chrono. Are there any rules against posting actual load recipes on this site? I loaded 28g because ive been shooting express super comp 28g #6 lately and they are devastating, the best 28g load ive ever used, i shoot 1/2 choke through both barrels of my 687 mk3 and get big puffs of feathers if i middle a bird even out to 50ish yds. mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikee Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 i tried the new load at some pigeons on saturday, only got 4 shots but killed 3 pigeons at about 30yds, didnt get to test with the chrony but they seemed deadly enough. mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
