Windage!! 6 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi guys, I have been asked by the Farmer to use Fibre wad shells when shooting over his land. I know the physical difference but have never used them; has any one noticed any differences with regards to shot pattern etc. I'm using 6 -32 g. Many Thanks! Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 i use fibre wads everywhere mate, i hate the thought of leaving litter of any kind on my permisions. theres no noticable differance at all in my opinion. Try the eley pigeon 32g 6 1/2s they are a cracking cartridge. Quote Link to post
Brickhill 28 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hull Cartridge used to make a shell with a biodegradable plastic wad but i'm not sure whether they still do. Apparently plastic wads will produce a tighter pattern. Why not try out a few of the same shells loaded with plastic wads and fibre wads on a pattern plate and see for yourself? I now use fibre exclusively on live quarry and have noticed no difference in the quality of the kill. As mentioned above the Eley 32g 6 1/2 HB Pigeon in fibre is a very good cartridge.

Windage!! 6 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks mate, Il give the Eleys ago! ….. when it stops raining! 1 Quote Link to post
nickb65 1 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I use fibre for all game shooting as most shoots now insist on them. I also use GAMEBORE CLEAR PIGEON in 32g no. 6 with fibre and to be honest there is no difference. You think there is when you miss but it is all in the head...... Quote Link to post
Windage!! 6 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks Nick, I just bought 200 clear pigeon in 6 - 32g as the shop was out of eleys. I was surprised there really isn't too much off a price difference and too be honest, air gun ant above is so right leaving plastic over your shoot is not good. Hopefully if it stops raining the silver pigeon will see a field again! 1 Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 i went to feed one of our flight ponds the other day and picked up over 30 plastic wads! turns out one of the lads thats been coming with us a bit this season has been using chedshites with plastic wads , he has been warned and now im gonna spend the next few weeks scouting about for anymore, coz if the farmer starts picking them up it wont go down well!

air gun ant 1,666 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hull Cartridge used to make a shell with a biodegradable plastic wad but i'm not sure whether they still do. im sure shooting times or someone did a test on those, and 5 yrs later they were still there, plenty long enough for a sheep or cow to pick one up in a mouth full of grass Quote Link to post
Windage!! 6 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm hoping to get out tomorrow as the weather is better, I'm looking forward to giving them ago! Quote Link to post
