IanB 0 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Whats cartridges do you prefer to use when out, lylevale express 6's 32gm and clear pigeon are my most used for the rabbits and pigeons.... Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've been using those cartridges for pigeon, magpies and crows. I've also just purchased a box of Gamebore clear winners (no6, 36g) to try and solve the farmers fox problem. Hes lost 30 lambs in 10 weeks The other week I spent an entire day wandering around two hundred acres but couldn't even find an earth so me and my shooting partner spent the early evening yesterday clearing the cattle sheds of pigeons. The farmer then told us that the fox (hes shot 4) was eating a dead lamb in the yard in the middle of the afternoon. We tried calling him in but it just barked back at us before we decided to try again at the weekend. Just as unloaded and made our way to the farm two foxes walked across the yard and helped themselves to the shot birds. :realmad: Anyone have any better cartridge suggestions for fox???

Guest wilbar Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Whats cartridges do you prefer to use when out, lylevale express 6's 32gm and clear pigeon are my most used for the rabbits and pigeons.... All the Rc cartridges I have used have been increadibly reliable. They have been fast and have killed pretty consistently Quote Link to post
shotgun..willy 8 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 express 32 grams of 6 are spot on for me Quote Link to post

jasper65 6 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Clear Pigeon 30grm size 6 pushed through 1/4 and 1/2 chokes works fine for me , they're a nice fast round compared to alot available , SG's are lethal for doing Fox.... Quote Link to post
philg 0 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Started using Victory Pigeon specials 30g 6's from spadwick motors Ledbury at £109 per 1000 and I'm really impressed with them for pigeons, I dont really shoot much else with the shotty. Quote Link to post
