Frenchieboy Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) I went out this afternoon to get a couple of woodies to make up a Game Pie. They were no real problem so, as I had got some 2&3/4 inch 4 shot cartridges (Lyalvale Express Super Game with Fibre Wads) to have a go at the crows with I thought it was an ideal opportunity to try them out. I had a few crows, each with direct hits when this bird came over. It was a good high bird and just folded up when I shot it with the right hand barrel and it hit the ground like a sack of spuds. This is one of the biggest crows I have seen for a while, maybe it's something to do with it being a "Northerner"! I have to say that I really quite like these cartridges and would like to try some in 6 shot for bunnies and pigeons! p.s. I've just noticed, this photo makes my old 12 bore look fairly tidy!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited June 15, 2010 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) I think there's an echo around here Ollie! No it isn't a raven! No it isn't a raven! (There you go Ollie mate, you asked the question twice so out of courtesy I have politely answered it twice) This crow is more like the size of a Bantam, and no my gun didn't shrink when I cleaned it (See, I do clean it now and then)! In answer to your question Cocker, it's a Spanish "Larrangar" - 28 inch barrels at 3/4 and Full choke and it fits me like a glove, that's why I bought it for just £85.00 with a gun slip - The only way it could have been better is if it had been chambered for 3 inch cartridges!

If you can get your hands on them get them and give them a go! great cartridges Cheers Roe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
