fidel Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi everyone.Can any suggest a 12g cartridge that is light on the shoulder (hardly any recoil) but will still bust a clay.I want to get some for my wife before we go out next.The gun I use is a Beretta Silver Pigeon 1. Any advice will be much appreciated. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer_pigeon Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 you can buy some 21g loads of you want light recoil, otherwise treat her to a semi auto for xmas, ideal girly gift and much better then diamonds etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 21gm are very light on the shoulder and will break any clay seen at most Clay Grounds. You could also consider 24gms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmicblue Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 on the 24 Grm side - I have found 24Grm Eley Blues to be very light on the shoulder - and Lyvale Express 24Grm HV to be very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
