dicka 1 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 ive used them before liked them better than the clear pigeon there all my mate has used for a while now Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I have used them and many others of the same category of 30g No.6 and I have to say they are among the top two the other being Gamebore Black Gold Game. I have shot, what must be most Game cartridge ranges by now and Express always appear in the top few for consistency and killing power. I personally don't shoot No.6 anymore, rather, I stick to 28g No.7 Regards SS Quote Link to post
Rolfe 2 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Always use Express 30g 6's pigeon specials when decoying and roost shooting............best cartridge for decoying pigeons in my opinion. Also it is a good load for bowling the bunnies over at harvest time. Consistantly good all round load. Rolfe Quote Link to post

SportingShooter 0 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 They will kill Game perfectly well. Many thousands of Game birds are shot with so called "Pigeon" cartridges each year with great success. I always stick by the following saying, "If it will kill a Carrion Crow at 40 yards then it will kill a Pheasant at 40" Regards SS Quote Link to post
rizzini 1 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) Get plastic not fibre wad. I find that the fibre wad cartridges are not that good. Or is it just me? Edited July 19, 2008 by rizzini Quote Link to post
Geoff.C 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Get plastic not fibre wad. I find that the fibre wad cartridges are not that good. Or is it just me? You probably do get a slightly better pattern with plaswads. However, both the clay grounds I use have a fibre wad only rule. So I never buy anything but fibre now. I find the pigeon specials ideal for rabbit and pigeon. and always have a few in my bag for when clay shooting. I find it pays to use #6 shot on rabbit clays, as these can be hard to break sometimes.
