trentotter Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 got on the stubble this morning for around half-7.set a few decoy's up and within 20 mins they started coming in.i ended up with 4 canada'a and 2 greylags... i was using winchester super X 3 1/2 no 3 steel cart's and 3 of the canada's were hit at at least 75 yards and died instantly.so ive no problem with steel shot after that!!

Frenchieboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Good shooting mate! There's a bit of weight in those to carry back to the motor! I'm not really into goose shooting so can I ask, isn't 75 yards a bit extreme for geese with a shotgun?

Really. 100 meters+ now. The range keeps going up! Seriously, i see people on the marsh sometimes firing into geese at over 100 yards with a 12. It just isn't on.

Seriously, i see people on the marsh sometimes firing into geese at over 100 yards with a 12. It just isn't on. the shot is in some kind of capsule and it opens up at about 75 metres.so at 100 metres its like a 25 yard shot!! i dont know what the patern is like but they dont half rattle what ever they hit...they were tested at 75 metres and it put a single hole through a phone directory!!so up to 75 metres they are like a slug doing 1450 ft-s....they cant be used with any more than quarter choke and are a 70mm cartridge...ive had people who have shot with shotguns for years in disbelief when they have seen some of the shots ive done with them...i just wish they did em is steel!!
