Deako Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 One Shot, although I only use a 20 bore, we supplied several thousand of these cartridges to Italian clients this summer, and despite most of them being ****e shots, some seriously high birds were pulled down with these.I would recommend them highly, but have'nt fired them myself.

Cranfield Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Isn,t 34 grams a bit "heavy" for decoyed pigeons ? I normally use 30 and 32 gram, but have recently tried 28 gram, all No6 shot, I appear to be cleanly killing the same amount of birds as usual. As we frequently say on here, its what you are confident in, that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 I've used these extreme pigeon cartridges on a couple of occasions, and I must say they can bring down some fairly high birds. The one thing I noticed is that on average range shots (20 - 40 yards) I found I didn't have to give so much lead, they seem very "fast". Overall though I think that on decoyed pigeons they are a bit of a sledge hammer to crack a walnut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
