DeepThought Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi I'm sorry if this subject has been done to death lately, but I'm hopefully finally getting myself out on the mud this weekend and wanted some advice about cartridges. Firstly, the only gun I currently have is chambered at 3", does this rule out taking geese with steel shot or would a 36g size 1 load be sufficient? Secondly, does anyone know where to buy them on the south coast around Portsmouth and the surrounding areas? Many Thanks DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
