Rake aboot 4,936 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ey up I`ve always been a bit of an oik,, and just used Hull special pidgeon for everything. I bought a new gun on Mon, and tried it using a 26g load, bloody marvelous, so I`ve picked up some Hull No6 28g to give them a whirl on my next pheasant day Whats everybodies preferences ?

Super Furry Animal 2 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've been using the gamebore Clear Pigeon 32g in number 6, ideal for those high birds. Good cartridge would defiantly recommend them. I also use these for pigeon and crows as well, a good all rounder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have been using the 32 g 6`s but have put some holes in some birds lately,, I feel they are quite hard hitting on anything that isn`t stratospheric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have been using the 32 g 6`s but have put some holes in some birds lately,, I feel they are quite hard hitting on anything that isn`t stratospheric Well let them get of the f*****g ground then you murdering b*****d!...... I think your 28g is too light a load especially if your going to be standing too.........i can see plenty runners. Needing a good dog to take with you?..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha The ground doesn`t make for very high birds Lab, I always try for the highest I can get and will let plenty past me mate,, S`just that I shot a doo that was hight and a half above the trees wi the Special Pidgeon and feking wrecked it. I also put a clean circular whole through a Partridge recently, but thats a different story. I just feel I`ve been hitting birds hard with the No6 32`s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goldminer 16 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've been using the gamebore Clear Pigeon 32g in number 6, ideal for those high birds. Good cartridge would defiantly recommend them. I also use these for pigeon and crows as well, a good all rounder I have been using these for a while and I like them. Had quite a bit of success with high flying crows that think they know the range of a 391 with full choke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,482 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Pigeon special 6's for nearly everything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crossover 0 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I like Hull high pheasant 30 gram 5's they seem a nice cartridge and the 5 shot knocks birds down well, if I'm going where there's high birds I use 32 gram. If your guns a multi choke maybe you could try opening your chokes a bit if you think your hitting the birds too hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
