It's a big money game, you shoot the best and brightest as far as loads. Using some kind of powder puff shell isn't something anybody who ever shot pigeons seriously would ever do.

I've never fired anything but a Parker at a pigeon match and I don't believe I'll start anytime soon. Last time I was out in PA I borrowed a steel barrel hammer DH from Bickel that he's set up for pigeon shooting.

It was not the gun or the loads that was lacking in my shooting I assure you. I was into my precious stock of AA Super Pigeon copper plated #8's.
