tomburras 2,721 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi, I am looking to try some subsonic 20 bore cartridges through my hushpower mossberg 20 bore. They are to use on a golf course on rabbits. I have found a shop that sells hushpower 24 gram 7.5, has anyone used these through the mossberg version hushpower and where they quiet and have good knock down power? Cheers. Tom. Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I’ve used these in my 20 hushpower and they are ok at short range. I’d suggest eley hi flyer fibre wad. They’re subsonic and hit harder. Only hi flyer fibre are subsonic, not plastic. 1 Quote Link to post

What sort of range would you be happy using the subsonic 24g? And also what range with the high flyers? is there much difference in noise between the 2? Cheers! Quote Link to post

The subsonic are a little quieter, but they don’t seem very effective beyond about 25 yards. Out of the two, I’d use the hi flyers unless noise was the main consideration. Remember though, only the fibre wad hi flyers are subsonic. Plastic wad hi flyers are faster so obviously louder than the fibre wads. Use #5 shot if you want a bit more range. 1 Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,721 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thanks again! Been out looking for these and could not get either of them. But after a bit of traveling about I did find gamebore hushpower 30g 5s so I baught a slab of them. Hopefully these will be good. Have you tried them? Sorry for all the questions! Cheers. Tom.

tomburras 2,721 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I shall do I hope they are good after buying a slab of them. I really wanted your recommended high flyers but I couldn't find any. I'll update tomorrow. Many thanks for your advice 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,917 Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 It may be worthwhile giving York guns a call Tom as they are the importers of the mossy hushpower along with other options so I would assume they will also carry the best ammo for these guns. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,721 Posted May 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Well the gamebore hushpowe 30g 5s are pretty good. A lot quieter than the vip,s. Not as quiet as I was hoping but do hit hard so a happy medium. I used them lamping and the noise did not travel and echo like the other standard cartridges iv used. 2 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 It will be very mute away from the gun anyway. It's always worse for the shooter. Most folk would not be able to tell it's a gun from 100yds away. 1 Quote Link to post
