Guest RobW71 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Has anyone else experimented using differant cartridges to find which suits them best? I used Express, which I found was dirty and left tram lines, and not always the cleanest of kills, I'm now using Winchester which I find a slightly quicker than the RC which is another good clean, fast cartridge.

Guest Macnas Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I posted this elsewhere recently, but I generally use eley grand prix 30g #6 fibre wad. My game gun is old and light, has 2 1/2" chambers and patterns well with the eleys. I use this cartridge for just about everything, especially game. I also avoid having to scrape plastic out of the non-chrome lined barrels by sticking to fibre wad. For heavier work I'll use #5's or #4's for fox. The sporter is another story, mainly that gets a diet of 28g #8's for clays, and whatever suits best if it's being used for hunting. This is not a great situation as compared to my sxs it weighs a ton and handles like a length of 2x4. In the main, as long as you put the lead in the right place and are sensible with shot size, I don't think it matters all that much what cartridge you use. Quote Link to post
COMPO 54 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 a good cheap load is RIO no6's 30gm , clean kills and cheaper than most other loads a good all round rabbit/pigeon load.... Quote Link to post

mally 832 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I always use gamebore clear pigeon 30g 6's fibre wad they cycle well in my semi and are a nice quick clean cartridge. The price isn't too bad either for a fibre wad (i think i paid £30.50 for the last 250 i bought). Quote Link to post
