wildfowler.250 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Can almost guarantee its due to range estimation, measure it out put up some paper and have your eyes opened Will do at some point just for a look. I'd expect with 3" 7's that there will be some gaps but good enough to bring the bird down if you hit it in the right place. The same will happen with any shotgun gauge if you push the distance. If I couldn't bring them down then I wouldn't bother wasting shells/winging birds. just my take on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFreddysCat Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Keep the distance to 30yds or less and 7 1/2s have sufficient energy and have 230 pellets in a 19gm load. Even a 50% pattern will get you >100 pellets in a 30'' circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just out of interest, as a side on target what size bird (quarry species) when over head would an adult rabbit equate to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
