Can I ask what range u clase as normal driven bird's please LB

Where r u getting those penetration figures from, steel penetrates better than lead because lead is meant to kill with energy so where r u getting ur data from ?

Could you post the chart that u r getting that information from please,my point of lead 4 against steel 1 was lead 4 is what most people use on high pheasant and it would be a suitable steel alternative.

Ok 1 more rant,if u look at the ballistic chart it shows that steel 1 has more energy than lead 4 at 50 yard's, would u like to explain that 1 please,o and getting 70 to 80% pattern and those ranges are easy enough with the right aftermarket choke,rant over peeps

Obviously u haven't shot many steel cartridges lately then if u think 40 yard's is the max range for steel,thanks holloway that's very true,my friend and I shoot alot of feral pigeon with 28 gram 7 steel at over 40 yards but I must be making this stuff up to sound good because we all now it just bounces off them 🤣😂🤣

There's 120 4mm pellets,I use a browning grand passage full choke and I've pattern tested with a friend and shot mallard stone dead at 55 yards with this combination so u can believe whatever u want,I don't care who believes me I posted this for people that shoot steel to let them know how good they r Regards Tony

This is total nonsense,I bought some hull magnum steel 36 gram no1s and they will kill any pheasant at 60 yard's no problem as long as u put it on the front half of the bird

Must be great to have ur money lol

Good to see u out again Al and yes some good shooting with the 525 as usual lol

Hada agree mith Motty on this 1, he's talking sense, unfortunately the pigeon numbers aren't to the same scale in northern Ireland as they are over with u guys but 1 farmer was on fone crying out for help during the week cause they were on his wheat field, shot a few last night to keep him happy but I'll be out all day Saturday to get as many as possible, we shot just over 💯 last Saturday in a neighbouring field as well so yes they need controlled

Yes mate I have saved it already, good to finally meet u, a true gent 👍

Hi Al, I have an improved cylinder, modified and full all new inventor plus flush chokes here, got them with my sxp but been using the kicks choke since I got it. Regards Tony

Agreed cookoff they were pants, it was very frustrating watching the pattern surround the bird for it to fly off but today's steel is a lot better and kills well at appropriate range, those feral pigeon I shoot r soft and easy to kill, I only shoot 32gram 3 at ducks 36gram 1 if their decoying

There really is some rubbish talked about steel shot on this forum, if its banned it will be nothing to do with some people shooting it for their own needs r reasons, I shoot feral pigeons with gb competition steel regularly because its all I'm allowed to use because its near animal feed in a big mill, we shoot 2 / 3 thousand birds between 6 r 8 guns regularly and the birds r 50 yards high after the first 20 minutes of shooting, not allowed to film it r I would post it up, yes u hada hit the front half of the bird but that's as technical as it gets,sorry for the rant just hada get it off my chest lol

Just read in the basc magazine that pochard r now on the red list and will be protected from December this year, any1 else hear anything about this and is it true, I shoot lough neagh and shoot pochard most weeks so it will be a big lose, hopefully only a temporary measure
