The Beater Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just thought i'd let everyone know who maybe think of buy some of the above cartridges, Dont cos they ****. Shooting a flightline over a small wood today by where birds are on clover and i ran out of cartridges only took belt full of Clear pigeon. My mate gave me some of the rio and no way near got the stopping power of the clear pigeon. Anything 30yrds plus dare not shoot at cos just maim them. They were all on same flight line i was dropping them easy with clear pigeon. Me mate isnt the best shot but the cartridges maybe not helping. Clear pigeon 25 shoots- 18 birds Rio classic game 20 shoots- 7 birds Shot there Miroku coked 1/4 & 3/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beater Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Only said they where C%$p lads cos birds i was dropping with ease on same flight line werent with the rio. Had bout 5 that were hit legs drop etc.. fly off. My shooting didnt change, shot that flight line for over 10 yrs know it very well. maybe they dont pattern well in my gun?? or a duff bunch, but wouldnt buy any. I've always thought myself you point it in right place any cartridge will do the job. These couldnt do the job past 30yrds compared to clear pigeon. I'll change what i said lads anyone with MK60 choked 1/4 & 3/4 dont buy classic game :unsure: P.s someone who shoots Mk60 gona say there dogs now :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNicholls Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 It's possible you have a dodgy batch. You could try a simple test - shoot at something that would show how deep the shot penetrates from a measured 40 yards and see what damage they do.

Shaun ONeill Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 hi i use rio 30g all the time and they do the job for me i find them very hard hitting at good ranges cheers shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodmedod.one Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've always got on OK with Rio 30gm 6's. I must admit the 28gm are nowhere near as good on rabbits. The most useless cartridges I have ever used are special pigeon. They are rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
