paul1966 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 best bet is to do a search of the forum and make a note of the information you find, as already said there is no definitive list that states use x shot for x species but you should get a good idea of the range of shot sizes you need.

groach1234 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 12b i assume so: Crows and Rabbits: 28-32g 5-6 Clays i would say: 21-28g 7.5 Thats my opinion anyway as for brand that is entirely personal choice. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 clays - 24-28g / 7.5-9 birds- 28-36g / 6.5-4 rabbit 32g up / 5 min fox 36g up / 4- sg Only a general guide, gives you some idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry c Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 28 grams of 7's will give you a pretty all round cartridge for clays and closer range birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
