    I'm a huge fan off Lylevale Express, but the newer stuff seems lacking compare to what it was before they were bought out. Before i would have easily recommended the 36gr 5s in them for just about everything, including water fowl, but now i'm not so sure.

    I changed to RCs preferring the RC3's for most of my day to day shooting. However i've seen the RC Camouflage in Jim McBride's last week and had a chat with lads a while about them. Did not get a box, but all the reports are they are seriously hard hitting cartridge. They are 37gr 6's so i might pick up a box or two to have and try.

    When I do my bit they knock 'em, mainly shoot them over splashes and ponds. I use the No 6's rough shooting and have dropped ducks with them no problem.

    GB 32 and 36g 6's for most of my shooting! Have great faith in them, and find they have good killing power!

    The 34g blue Rc 5's are one serious shell. Sipe 32g 6's are great shell as well.

    Nobel sport 32 gram 6 in the first barrel and 5 in the second. Generally if you miss with the first it will be further away and harder to knock hence the 5 in the second. A lot of people swear by this including myself. I don't really like using different weights of cartridges so I use 32's for all, no real reason just personal preference.
