  21. Hi Just to start For clays on most grounds there are rules and you fire a lot so cheap is good to start with Plastic or fibre see ground rules you can shoot fibre on any ground some allow plastic Shot size 7/8/9 again see club rules this is usually because of the distance the spent shot carries after firing mor than adequate for clay breaking Load weight 28 gramm or less most grounds have a maximum load again see rules Note some disciplines and competitions stipulate max load ie 24 gramm Ask at the ground or buy cartridge on site Game shooting ask your host what they recommend but usually a heavier load and larger shot size Ie 30..32 gramm 5 or 6 There's more but that should start the ball rolling Hope this helps All the best Of Tin hat on 😃😀
