shotgunny 39 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 With all the gun shops closed round us for the holidays all I have are 28g 7 cartridges. I have a pheasant drive tommorrow and was wondering if it would be ok to use these cartridges on the pheasants? Atb sg Quote Link to post
spanielman 1 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 hi and a happy new year, they will kill pheasant at closer ranges but not the ideal cartridge as you probably know, 30g 6's would be better you not got anyone you could borrow some of. Was picking up on the 30th most pricked birds ive ever picked, three of the guns were using light loads. cheers, spanielman. Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hi mate happy new year to you to i was normally use 32 6s but I used them all decoying woodies over the last few days. I have a springer who will retrieve quickly so I can dispatch any birds that are pricked very quickly. Atb sg Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Personally, 28gr of 7's is all I ever use for Pheasant and other similar game birds. I do however use the same load/shell that i've been using for years and through relatively tight chokes. Can't say i've personally had a problem but just see how you go with them. Quote Link to post
