stupidsalmon Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 What are your favoured 2 3/4 carts for duck? Cheers SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I have only ever had one duck come close enough to shoot (25 yards), it was shot with Eley Grand Prix bismuth matrix 32g of No5. I guess that makes them my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young gun Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'm using eley grand prix bismuth 32grms 5's or 36grms 3's but i've found impact tungstun matrix to be one of the best non toxics out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 If you are decoying and the duck will be close, then epress hunting steel in 4's. if you are not decoying and there is a possible chance of rangy birds then I would use 2 3/4" Express hevi shot. It is the best non toxic on the market by a long way. Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young gun Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 can you use hevi shot in chokes tighter than half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 No, You shouldn't use any non toxic in chokes tighter than half. They are all harder than lead and can cause excess pressure Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 ITM 36gm 4`s for me as I can`t get my hands on Hevi shot yet.3.6mm steel is supposed to be good too but I can`t get that to try it out either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young gun Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 No, You shouldn't use any non toxic in chokes tighter than half. They are all harder than lead and can cause excess pressure I was under the impression it was ok to use bismuth or impact tungstun matrix in more than half choke as it is almost as soft as lead and I have just been on various internet site and from what i have read from the makers internet sites and from other sites it sounds as if you can use bismuth and impact tungstun matrix in over half choke but not any others.

young gun Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I got charged £30 for a box of 20 bore impact tungsten matrix cartridges so definatly not cheap although i never paid that much for them last season so i don't know if i was being over charged for them but they wern't for me, they where for my brother so it wasn't my money. So at that price don't miss :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
