ferret boy charlie 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Out of interest how many foxes have you shot with the SG's? two Whilst SG is a devastating cartridge the only use I can think of for it is blowing hinges off doors at point blank range!!! Point it at anything live more than about 15-20 feet away and the odds are you will probably miss! I have never been in a position where I thought SG was the cartridge of choice, and to be honest I don't know why I bother to carry around 3 in the belt, but each bit of land is different and each shot is different so who knows!!! Others may find more uses for it than me!! i though SG meant shotgun although the foxes i shot off the back of a truck were fives Quote Link to post

Only if it was very close, you would be better with a Slug on Boar, Or a .308 or above!! Total energy in a conventional SG is normally around 1960ft lb so it is very powerful. Frankly I think the main use is Military or Police..it is a VERY close range cartridge but devastating! Edited February 2, 2009 by Deker Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 S.G stands for Small Game If it's a true S.G it contains 8.4mm pellets. I think in 36gr that means 9 of them I stopped one in Season with a single dose of No.7's, he was only 5 yards away though, decided it was a good idea to escape down a hedgerow, as he came around the corner, guess who was there Deed as a doornail.

comanche 2,799 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Out of interest how many foxes have you shot with the SG's? none yet ive only had them about 2 weeks Don't worry .Take em back and change em for a box of BBs if you can . They're the sort of thing that were used on big game at close ranges or by check-point gaurds and such to whack into speeding cars to wreck the engine and /or the driver ! We all live and learn .That's what this sort of forum is here for .Good luck . Quote Link to post
