jeemes 3,547 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Anyone tried them on Pigeon?.they are shit hot. Nothing seems too high for them. Super GT 6. Ive looked and they do a Pigeon load but it sounds like heavy artillary and wont be as fast as the GTs Quote Link to post
Meece 1,957 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Haven't come across them yet. The problem is that like Joker cartridges. A friend bought a load, they were cheap, burn clean, smoothe shooting and were effective but they were a here today gone tomorrow commodity. Back to the threads about Baikal record cartridges from years ago. Suddenly not available. You don't know what these random cartridges are going to be like and when you find out that they're good you can't get them again. How much were these Mellor cartridges.? Quote Link to post
jeemes 3,547 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 They are of course continental and you dont know if you can them long term but I managed to buy around 5000 over 2 years. Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 On paper they look nothing special: http://www.meliorcartridges.com/en/outdoorsbrand/melior/products/hunting/super_gt/super_gt_32_grs 415m/s is approx 1,360fps. Both Hull and Gamebore have cartidges around 1,500fps. Then again, if they hit hard, are at the right price and you like them, that's all that matters. Quote Link to post
jeemes 3,547 Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 We shot a lot of Pigeons with them. Im not a ballistic expert but they seemed fast to me because when I first shot them after jokers I was missing, but soon adjusted by slowing it down a bit. We shot birds further and further out with them. Ive been shooting for 30years but am no expert, but I can recognise a good performing cartridge on a day when theres lots to shoot at. Melior have a website and had pigeon load on there but heavy loads, and I couldnt see the point when these GTs were so good. We were also getting them far cheaper than Hull or Gamebore could offer.

jeemes 3,547 Posted September 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 A bloke got them for me who does a lot of shooting and takes people out. He buys a lot of different carts and not all good but these were. Ive only got a couple hundred left. Trouble is I oNLY PAID £200 a thousand and I dont know Id get them at that again. Ive havnt been out since last autumn anyway 1 Quote Link to post

Meece 1,957 Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 They're Spanish so they may never be available due to import problems due to Brexit. I've never understood this fast or slow cartridge thing. The difference out at 30 yards ect is negligible . If you've got the lead on the target the load will do the job. Some people will only shoot a certain brand or load but others just pile the cartridges in the bag and shoot them. They don't know if it is a blue one or a red. it is just a cartridge and it doesn't seem to make a difference to them. 1 Quote Link to post

What language speke is that then.? 30..... 35 yards is the distance that a 12 bore pattern is at the best size and concentration of pellets not the furthest that it will shoot. Quote Link to post

I like green ones as well, and orange........hang on? Anyway, they’re my favourites Ive never seen the melior’s for sale, but I’ll give them a go if I see them at a good price. Just out of interest, what colour are they?..... Sorry, I’ll get my coat 1 Quote Link to post
