hawkfanz Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 it depends on what you use it for,i,m not bothered about cartridge price i use whichever gun i need for the purpose,i have 3 o/u in 12,20, 28g and 2 s/as in 12 and 20g my favorite walk up gun is the o/u 20g,on crows and pigeons i usually use one of the sa,s,unless your using 100,s of carts i wouldn,t bother about price.

Ears Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 really cartridge prices do not really mater to much extra £10 per thousand. It really depends on your build and whether you are able to shoot with a 12g or need a smaller 20g gun. As you have just started shooting if you are able to use a 12 bore I would go down that route to start with. when you can shoot a bit then make your choice.

welshwizard Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 The other thing to consider is the weight of the gun compared to the shot charge of the cartridge , i.e. if you intend to shoot heavy loads go for the 12 or consider a heavier 20 to compensate for the charge . I use 12 ,s and 20,s both for different uses , I love the 20 o/u but find the lighter weight of the gun compared to my 12 punishing if used for long periods of clay shooting .
