White Rabbit Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm a big fan of proper cartridges. If you open one up you'll find they're made of top quality parts. Ive been using the Ultimate High Performance Game 32gm 5's over the last season and they are top notch. I allways used RC SIPE before that but i wanted to get away from yellow cases. The Ultimates are about £30 cheaper and,dare i say it, perform even better than the Sipes. P.s, Bywell stock the Ultimates but they aren't on the website for some reason. You can also buy direct.

Ninj Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Got some Proper Pigeons on the way so interested to see how they go. Didn't realise there was a 32g #5, are there any others which aren't on the Bywell site? Fibre wads in the not too distant future so its looking good.

White Rabbit Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I know the Ultimates come in 34gm 5's aswell as i've used them. Think they also come in 30gm and other shot sizes although i may be wrong. If he starts loading fibre wads i hope they are as good as his plastic loads. You'll be impressed with his pigeon load i'm sure. He could do with up-dating his website to show his range of cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hitman Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I just thought i would report back on how the proper pigeon 30g no 5.5 performed . They kill crows , rooks and pigeons as well as any cartridge i have used , and i bet they would stop high pheasants better than more expensive shells.

White Rabbit Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 ninj mentioned he will be loading fire wad loads in the near future? Does anyone have anymore info? Sure they'd sell well around the local sunday clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just looked on a box and he's right. No proof mark on the box! I've used afew thou of his game loads and found them very good but it does make you think. Does that make them illegal to sell? I used to use Sipes or Supremes but you've got me thinking now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
