motty Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have used them for years. I rate them highly, in both 3" and 3 1/2". I used some 42gm 3s on Saturday night. Several greylags were knocked down stone dead using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberFowl Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks motty i have been offered 3.5 size 3s which im going to use through my super nova pump Motty have you ever used 10 bore remington hi speed steels ?? I have heard they are rubbish but i have never used them personally I shoot gamebore mammoth steel in the 12 and rhino steel in the 10, I highly rate gamebore steel loads. I also use Remington sportsman 2s and Remington nitro BBs in the 10.. Both do the job fine for me in the BPS10 and old Basque. Had some good rangey kills. Shot 2 canadas at the weekend with the sportsman 2s, not huge ranges but not on the end of the barrel either, both dead first shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
