UdaleBayKDB 4 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Following on from my intro post, I mentioned the Baikal IJ-27E i have left a deposit on with Grahams of Inverness, our local firearms dealer. The gun is an old model twin triggers and fixed choke at half and full. Some research online tells me that from the engraving, rather than stamped detailing on the steelwork, the gun dates from between 1970-1976?? Obviously proofed for lead given the period, could anyone advise me as to alternative shot types which may be used safley through the chokes. My intention was to be looking to take down a goose or two over the next couple of weeks over stubble fields, but with the season slipping away from us rather than buying lead cartridges i was looking for an alternative to allow me to continue persuing my quarry on the mud flats until Feb 20th. Any help would be most welcomed. Regards Danny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullshot 5 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi Mate, the best thing is to go into the gun dealer and ask what he would recomend.I have an old aya s/s so I use bismuth but they are hellish expensive. I got mine cheap at £15 for 25. So i use them sparingly. I also bought a escort semi auto steel proofed which i find brilliant on all sorts of quarry and at a good price. Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
