TIDES EDGE

I have just changed back to a 20 bore from a 12bore due to the weight of the gun I now use a Berretta 687o/u as apposed to the silver pigeon with 30" barrels 12bore . I use 24gm 7.5s on clays and 28gm 6s on game recoil is fine and I shoot better than I did with the 12bore mine was as I said due to the weight of the gun probably due to my age.

I this cartridge of any interest to any one paper cased Elton Stores Darlington it is marked up very small as BB.

Eley VIP Steel 32gm no3 with Eco Wads are brilliant and we should not be using plastic wads in any cartridge in my opinion .

The other one is a Bowman I had one back in the 70s it is missing the plastic bottles to hold the shot and powder very simple to work .

jall25 I agree some reared duck are not worth shooting but as I said done properly ours are far higher than most pheasants are on most shoots.

A good mate of mine left a live .22 bullet in his it went off and damaged the washing machine drum he was not popular.

It works for us we rear 4 to 5 thousand and have duck that are out of shot .
