crowcaller Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 was out this afternoon looking at a barley field that was cut yesterday, have shot the field when it had lots of laid on it . had some nice small days of 20 and 30 before they stopped coming in.it also had crows on but walk them off and they never came back, as lots of other places to feed, to day a good wind so got crows off and set up at a pithole with tall oaKS AND CHESTNUT TREES i had seen birds flying to, set crow deeks out had a bird back in notime shot it and set it on flapper and had a nice 2 hours shooting `15 crows and 2 woodies,the flapper worked well . have been shooting my 20 bore last 2months and finding no differance in range getting some good long range birds. how many on here use 2o gauge and whats your opinion on them.

Cranfield Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I mainly use a Beretta semi auto 20 bore with 28gm No6's and it kills just as cleanly and at the same distances as my 12 bores. As it only weighs ounces over 6 lb its a pleasure to have in the hide, its just a pity that the premium price on the cartridges is so obscene.

crowcaller Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 yes thats the only snag . yet 12 bore 28 grams are cheaper, is it because they sell more/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Its always claimed that its a matter of volumes sold. .410, 16 bore, 28 bore are all more expensive pro rata than 12 bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
