figgy Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Victory mini magnums in lead great cart as the rc 40. Steel game bore super mammoth 31/2 steel bb or mammoth 3" bb cheaper over decoys depending on range. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaddy525 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 rc50 in size 0 is even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot-rhino Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Big fan of Fiocchi ultra magnums 63g no1 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Any 3" lead load of no1, 2 or 3's depending on range and choke were lead is allowed. Gamebore 3 1/2" no1 or BB alternatively 3 1/2" BB in Nitro steel remington on foreshore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 You wont go far wrong at all using kent's advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I like lyalvale express 42 gram 3's for decoying or 50g 1's if they are a bit higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesneale89 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 for the foreshore i reccomend , kents tungsten matrix 3 1/2 56g number 1s , there around £2.40 a shot but you surely want them best cartridge on foreshore and if you add a 3/4 to full choke youve got a 10 bore range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 for the foreshore i reccomend , kents tungsten matrix 3 1/2 56g number 1s , there around £2.40 a shot but you surely want them best cartridge on foreshore and if you add a 3/4 to full choke youve got a 10 bore range Really!!!! where are you getting them at that price? Just cartridges at a 1000 rate are still £5.90 a shot! Also have you patterned tungsten through 3/4 or full as all my expieriences of tungsten shows that too much choke ruins the pattern. For me Kent's advice is spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aister Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 last season and so far this season i have been using RC50 no 0 through half choke and i have had some great results. for non toxic the best i have used was the winchester xtended range hi density but it was pricey.
