    Which fibre Wad cartridges do you recommend for a light side by side with 2 3/4 inch chamber's?
    Most of my shooting will be pigeons from a hide and if you have prices per slab that would be great thanks.

    Used white gold in 28g 7.5 fibre for pigeons last year over corn. Clay load but plenty of power for pigeons

    Another thumbs up for gamebore. The velocity plus cartridges in 7.5 28g fibre are great for decoying.

    I got them for €60 a slab.

    I've always used eley impax in the past but they are getting expensive for now for pigeons.On the days the pigeons don't decoy so well are ye getting good kills with the trap cartridges at 40 or 50 yards? If so seems like a no brainer to try a slab or two.

    Gambore, Mirage, Lyalvale, Nobel Sport all work fine in my 2 1/2 set up. All these brands do 2 3/4 fibre wad loads as well. One that was a serious disappointment was Eley Grand Prix, woeful patterning.

    Thanks for the info Stevie,very surprised to hear about the Eley Grand Prix been poor performers, Always rated Eley cartridges but maybe they are slip'n a bit!
