masmiffy 82 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Decoying I use anything that is free or comes cheap! If it goes bang and lead is in the air your gonna get results! Best I shot over deeks was with 1oz loads! Very kind to shoot all day. Think it was 86 pigeon to 110 spent carts! Quote Link to post

welshboy454 3 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) hi all what is youre favorate cartridge for pigeon My favourite all round cartridge was 6.5 30g clear pigeon - not sure who made them as I have not seen any lately. Out one day and a high pigeon came over - chose left barrel 3/4 choke 34g 5s + missed so I tried (in desperation) right barrel 1/4 choke 6.5 30g - result stone dead ! that was the day I found my favourite all round cartridge ! plenty of pellets for a full pattern.

My point was that in my view the bird was out of range for the right barrel 1/4 choke hence choosing the left 3/4 34g 5's as it was way up but having seen it killed then with the right barrel at that distance convinced me of the all round capability. Good for pheasant/pigeon/woodcock. I know a lot of this is in my mind giving confidence but having said that I always still carry a few 34/36g no 5's in case a long range possibility occurs rabbit/fox Quote Link to post
