Hull Superfast Pigeon Shotgun Cartridge Review 

Thanks 👍

👍

thinking about it, I'm not sure a good subsonic steel load is possible. I think an alternative material may be required, I've been testing some cartridges using a mix of bismuth, tin, aluminium and zinc, this could work, granted its more expensive than lead or steel.

@@IRateGuns Thanks, I think you’re right which is a great pity. Just my opinion but I think “noise” is a bigger enemy to our sport than the move to steel. We might not like it but we can work around the lead issue - we’re doing - but in this crowded little island we participate in a politically incorrect pastime and under attack on every front and what makes it worse is that we can’t do it discreetly - every time we pull the trigger everybody within 1/2 a mile has an opinion on it. I wish a bit more R&D went into sorting out the issue of noise. My clay club has restrictions in terms of when we can shoot and only yesterday I had to change plans to using a moderated .410 because the pigeons had moved to fields too close to houses to use an unmoderated 12g. Anyway, thanks for giving the question some thought and -🤞 - science/ technology bails us out before we’re back in the dock on the question of noise pollution.

Thanks

What is it then? It’s the only thing I can find that looks remotely like it

@@IRateGuns It's the 206V or D20V also from NSI which are disc shaped, usually the 206V/D20V doesn't have yellow markers, it has probably been dyed for the UK market since I have only seen the yellow markers in UK shotgun shells. Where you see V in the powder name it stands for Velocity, meaning it is for 28/29/30gr, if you see an SV that means Super Velocity, that is for 24gr loads. If you see an L that is for Low Velocity meaning for heavier loads, 34, 35, 36 etc. 206/D20/Drago are all made by NSI and they are basically various batches of the same powder categorised based on their burning rate (i.e how progressive they are). 24grains is about 1.55grams, the 206V/D20V are usually loaded at 1.40 - 1.45grams (around 22grains), but because it is a fiber wad without overpowder plastic, the dosage needs to be increased in order to cover any potential gass and pressure loss, hence the increased dosage to 1.55grams (24 grains). The A0 is for heavier loads, it is a very progessive powder meaning it can go up to Magnum Loads hence why it cannot be loaded at 29gr.
