  1. Totally agree with what Windswept said. I got a second hand bog standard 10/22 some years ago, put a scope on it and shot gallery rifle at club. For rabbits/pest control I use a CZ bolt gun.
  2. If lead is totally banned I will use steel in plastic wads and only take birds that are in the reduced effective range of steel. My centrefire rifles will have copper loads but 22 rimfire could be finished, not sure if there are any copper rimfire options.
  3. I reload for 12 gauge and fine Fiocchi cases are best for reloading, had some Rio cases from a clay club a few years ago and they where good also. In my opinion the crimp end of the case will start to split on the folds rendering the case useless for further reloading before any issue with the case base wad. I have never had a base wad separate and normally load cases until crimp area has a split. With 12 gauge you will not save money reloading, but you will have loads in the pellet sizes and payload weight that you want. That's why I reload.
  4. Yes, I have used them works for me.
  5. I also have a Spanish sxs 70mm chamber gun that I'm going to use with standard steel cartridges and am hoping for acceptable performance out to 35-40 yards. Will be pattern and penetration testing this summer and will compare lead shot size 6 and steel shot size 4. My chokes are 1/4 & 1/2. For wildfowling I have a sxs 76mm chambers with high performance steel proof. I think your Yeoman will do standard steel, may need to bore choke, have a look on BASC website it has all the details on steel but I think standard steel is loaded with max size 4 shot which is claimed to equal size 6 lead in terminal performance.
  6. Well said, good on you. Enjoy your shooting.
  7. Yes, used 34gm lead size 4 or 5 in LH barrel good hard hits
  8. I have just started dealing with him, like been said above a good guy.
  9. Please read a shot shell reloading manual and fully understand it then follow advice above. Lyman, Ballistic Products and RSI all have manuals with steel reloading sections. Take care.
