SportingShooter 0 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hevi-shot is good stuff... But by God it hits your wallet if you're a serious 'fowler or flighter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProGunJohn 2 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Got some AAA, No. 3 and wanting to try out some 00 buck which I'll get in this month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SportingShooter 0 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Got some AAA, No. 3 and wanting to try out some 00 buck which I'll get in this month AAA and 00 Buck on Wildfowl? Surely not. You won't hit much with the latter in any case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieSlade 14 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 The rule of thumb is with steel shot always go down 2 sizes from lead, e.g. If you'd use number 5s then use number 3s ect Quote Link to post Share on other sites

charlie caller 3,654 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 If you can get it try some Eley lightning steel, 1650 fps, hits like a train, Heavy shot and tungsten matrix are very good too but as ss says expensive, DO NOT USE BISMOUTH IT IS SH**E.

CharlieSlade 14 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I find smaller local gunshops (like my local one) will buy in a type of cartridge if one of the owner wants to buy some, as long as you're loyal then they try their hardest to get the buyer what they can. But I think otherwise you can get them sent to a your rfd online Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ProGunJohn 2 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Got some AAA, No. 3 and wanting to try out some 00 buck which I'll get in this month AAA and 00 Buck on Wildfowl? Surely not. You won't hit much with the latter in any case. Oh of course not, the 00 buck will be getting used for recreational purposes.

jclay91 12 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Bismuth is not shire...the original bismuth fractured on firing but the updated stuff is a lot better. I have used a lot through the 10bore and it kills them when hit in the right place at sensible range Quote Link to post Share on other sites
