kip270 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 If you wish to use steel shot you are advised to obtain the information papers from BASC Head Office to help ensure its effective and safe use in your gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris lewis Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 invector, curiosity has got the better of me and looked up the meaning of you r phase , I am still baffled. B) (Click to enlarge) fleur-de-lis ( School Division, Houghton Mifflin Company) fleur-de-lis or fleur-de-lys (flûr'də-lē', flʊr'-) n., pl. fleurs-de-lis or fleurs-de-lys (flûr'də-lēz', flʊr'-).

invector Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 It IS like a three leafed flower, an iris. Surely if it`s on your bloody barrel you can`t miss it?:(? B) B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 It depends on what your gun is choked ie.don`t use in anything above 1/2. Also don`t use super steel,HV steel or high speed steel carts to be on the safe side. If it`s a cost thing then don`t go shooting duck and geese,I say that because steel is 1 up from tin and 3 below bis and TM and 4 below hevi-shot. I`m not having a pop it`s just you can get better carts than steel and you can,even though it`s unlikely(but still possible)damage your gun and self B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris lewis Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 The bakel has a fixed 1/4 and 3/4 . the browning is multi choke so I think I will go for the browning with 2 1/4 teague chokes . I dont know what the catrs are yet as he is bringing them with him. thanks for all your replys B) B) :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris lewis Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Had an absulate blast. sat in a hide in the middle of the marsh. infrount of a flooded bit of marsh with the sun came up , very nice , cold , (picture the scence if you will ) my mate was sitting the other side , watching the sky , me the other way, the first up were the crows, Im sure they were taking the ****, crowing all morning . we saw 3 pairs over an hour but to faraway , then a crow came near and pushed his luck. he went to the ground 30gs heavier. this brought up a pair of ducks that came with in 20 feet my mate. He had a cup of soup in his hand at the time of the crow downing. I said to him go for it mate . the gun went smoothly to his sholder lined up and squezzed the trigger. Click missfire??? , No !! the plumb didnt have any carts in the barrels :*) , he had taken out the shells before having the soup . there was a lot of swearing and laughing , and the rest of the morning **** taking. So the bag was just one crow , 3 shots fired . still had a ball and dieing to go again , this time with some decoys and a better placed hide :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
