Thunderbird Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm getting 32 or 36 gram no.4s for duck (maybe Gamebore Super Steel) and no.3 TMX for geese. I will be taking out the obligatory 2nd mortgage for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be taking out the obligatory 2nd mortgage for the latter. yeah, i was going to load my own Bismouth for the ten until i worked out the cost per shell and how many KGs of shot i should need to get in. if they are a bit higher they can pass by unmolested i think at over £4 a bang.

shakin stevens Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Whilst we are talking about wildfowling carts, can anyone recommend a decent cart for a 3inch magnum chamber steel proof o/u?

silver pigeon 3 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Whilst we are talking about wildfowling carts, can anyone recommend a decent cart for a 3inch magnum chamber steel proof o/u? Cheers For ducks i use 36g 3's gamebore mammoth steel (also called game & wet) good shell on ducks. For geese i have used Tungsten 36g 3's and at sensible range do the job well.

silver pigeon 3 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I need to get a few 3 1/2" non toxic what would you recommend This will be my first season with the 3 1/2" gun, i am going to stick with Gamebore as i really rate there steel loads and i can get hold of them ok. I would like to try the Remington shells but i can not track any down around me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I think it will depend on what my local gun shop has In stock for the up and coming season. I to shoot gamebore 3" and found then to be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoggy Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Gamebore and Remington get my vote.Overall the Remington nitro and sportsman just edge it for me though.A few friends rate the Winchester loads but I haven`t tried them yet so these may well be my next purchase.

kent Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well £198 lighter in the wallet now. After 100 3" gamebore, 100 3 1/2" gamebore and 100 10bore Remmington Nitro steel. In answer to the question which 3 1/2" i like nitro steel remmingtons but went for gamebore this year which i have also used quite a few of, reason being i have had a hanfull of Remmingtons fail to clear the ejection port creating a jamb. remmington are slightly longer in the case and i think this is the issue. Not an issue in the 1o bore though as its a boxlock s/s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
