NorfolkAYA Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi all, I'm looking at joining my local village wildfowling club next season. I'm just after some advice on cartridges. It's inland shooting so will be over marshes and streams/rivers. What cartridges can I use?. Regards pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Anything non toxic. Go to the search thing on here and put non toxic and get reading. There you will find enough reading to keep you puzzled until next season. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 As above, as long as your gun is Ok for the high performance steel cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkAYA Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Cheers guys. Yeah my gun is steel proof. I was going to go for the gamebore super steel 32grm 5's. Have you ever used these?. Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Normal rule of thumb is move up 2 shot sizes with steel, personally I would be looking at 4's if you are shooting them over decoys or splashes and 3's if you are flighting them. Gamebore steels are one of the the best available, the super steel is a non high performance cartridge so in smaller shot sizes with not too much choke suitable for most guns, the next up in the range is the 3" mammoth cartridges which are a very good cartridge.

anser2 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 We had an interesting result when plucking out some birds shot last weekend. My mate was useing gamebore 3 inch steel 3s. most of the shots were 30-40 yard range at wigeon and mallard. The majority of pellets from game bore 32 gr no 3 had passed well into the body with quite a few passing through the birds. About a quarter of the duck had broken wings. The gamebore 32 gr number 5s were a very different story. none had penertrated the body cavity and most had lodged just under the skin. Only pellets that had hit the neck and head had killed the birds. No broken wings despite several hits. Clearly the No 3s were the best shell for the job.

NorfolkAYA Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yeah I could ideally do with a cartridge I could use for wildfowl and pigeon. That's why I was thinking of super steel carts. Yeah mate I do now again it's getting good up there now.
