sitsinhedges Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 It's not steel only, you just can't use lead but any non tox will do. I use ITM, impact tungsten matrix but only shoot a few ducks a year so can afford the £1.50 a cartridge for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspark Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Steel is fairly cheap and works well on ducks etc. If you have removable chokes don't go tighter than a half choke or you will damage your gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
