henry d Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 i have done a few of these on the pigeons, and they are quite good. pack a punch but good. No.8`s don`t pack a punch,however they will ***** as a 36gm load has 562 shot in it.I wouldn`t fancy eating anything shot closer than 20yds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaffman73 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 If you chop it open and measure the size of the shot, you will find there NO#7 . I use the same ones and HAWKEYE (the one with the big feet) will back me up on this .Was also told this by shop owner, so had to make sure .

henry d Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hawkeye - I agree they will kill but they will also ***** a lot of birds too. BTW - german 8`s are UK 7.5`s(.09") A numerical or letter(s) designation indicating the average diameter of a pellet. With numerical designations, the average pellet diameter may be determined as follows: Shot Size = (17 – Number Designation)/100 For example, for No. 6 shot: (17-6)/100 = 0.11†17 - Designation Number = Avg. Shot diameter in hundredths of an inch 100 EXAMPLE: For No. 10 Shot: 17-10 = 7/100 = .07†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 You beat me to it Henry, There isn't a person alive who has shot and killed a goose at 60yds with a shotgun. I very much doubt if you would do it with a heavy load of SG's. I think it is totally irresponsible to be shooting at anything at this sort of range with a shotgun. At best you will only wound it.
