strangford wildfowler Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Might want a bigger chamber barrel for shooting geese unless that is your a very good shot and can hit geese on the head every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshAndy Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Why not use 2&3/4 hevi shot or similar? Save yourself the cost of a new barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshAndy Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) You could use hevi shot, bismuth or tungsten matrix, these are all non toxic. Edited August 17, 2014 by WelshAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshAndy Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Not as cheap as steel, I think about £1 a bang! Bismuth is around £28 a box of 25 and tungsten is crazy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
