wildfowler.250 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Would appreciate some help! I'm planning an order in from JC and I was going to buy the super steel that everyone recommends for the ducks. However, on their list I can only see "game and wet steel". Is this the same as the super steel that everyone likes? An I better with the 70mm shells or the 3 inch cartridges? I'm going to buy size 3. The 3 inch stuff is 36 grams compared to 32 and about £2.50 a box more. Would appreciate any info as I don't want to mess up an order. Many thanks! http://www.justcartridges.com/pdf/nontoxic.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I use the 70mm for pigeons for hawk food-theyre not the hardest hitting and they seem to loose their punch after 30 yards. maybe buy a box of 25 of eack, try them and then decide rather than be stuck with a bulk order. f.

wildfowler.250 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Cheers fuddster! Appreciate the info might be better going for the 3" shells then the problem is I'm like, £25 for postage if I try a box or get 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 if you can handle, i`d always go for the bigger load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 30p a shot if I get 500 for the bigger shells. That's fine. So is the "game and wet" the same as super steel? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah, game and wet steel is the same thing as super steel mate. The 3' 36g cases are called mammoth steel. They are both very good. My preferred load is the 32g Super Steel in 3's, because the cases are clear and easier to find in bad light IMO.

Appreciate it Have you noticed any difference in performance between the 36 and 32 gram shells? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Iv just ordered some 3" ones , should be more hard hitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks very much! Appreciate it Have you noticed any difference in performance between the 36 and 32 gram shells? Many thanks! Not really mate, I cut some up and the difference in pellet count was about 20 if I remember right? The quoted speed is 25fps faster on the 3' cases. Ballistically, there is obviously a difference, but for the average shot (like me) I doubt you'd notice. Having said that, I don't shoot 'rangy' duck. You may see a difference if the birds you're shooting at are further out. If that's the case, get the 3'. But I will say I've used 100s of both and can't faut either of them.

wildfowler.250 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks WF12 I might go for the bigger ones purely because it gives me a but more leeway Although 20 isn't much difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I use both and would go for the 3" all way next time. Only bought the 70mm for teal and close duck, I use 3&4 shot. 3" in 1s & 3s for longer range duck and closer geese. Make your order upto 1000 as its same delivery cost, I do with game or clay carts. If I have to use them. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
