Jay_Russell Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Keep seeing the odd fox popping out the hedges up the shoot when im working up there. I normally have my shottie with me. As its only the foxes I'll be shooting this time of year I had a rummage through my old carts and found some 36g SG. I normally have 1/2 and full chokes in, any reason I need to change?

Guest cookoff013 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Depends, have you patterned them. Saying that I'd just bang away. SG might need little choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Russell Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 NahI havnt paterned them. I've just got half a box to stick so ill stick a couple of carts in my pocket just incase a fox suddenly appears, which has happened a couple of times recently. Just didn't know if I could damage my chokes having big shot squeezing through a full choke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisThePelvis Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Just checked the box (buffalo 32g sg) and no mention of choke requirement. Be careful of the backstop though, those things travel a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 buck kicker tubes are full choke and some, i use even tighter with smaller AAA lead i use a turkey choke, you will be fine as you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 For reasons I wont go into unless you want me to, use the lighter choke because you will get a tighter pattern "probably". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I've found anything over half choke doesn't work very well with sg's. It's seems that squeezing those big pellets together in a standard tight choke doesn't help them. Don't know about aftermarket extended tubes though, they may work ok?

Jay_Russell Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Just dug them out and had a look. They are lylevale 36g SG supergame. There's 9 sg shot inside. I must of been given them at some point. What would people actualy use these for? Can imagine at close range they will blow a fox to bits!

They will do the job at close range, at longer range you'll be lucky to connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, in a charge of no6 shot only about 10% of the charge contacts the choke and gets redirected. In a charge of SGs every pellet contacts the choke and gets redirected so the pattern gets blown apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipper Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Pattern Sg through your chosen barrel at paper with a 4" X 8" target on if you can get a killing pattern at anything but short range you'll be very lucky.Buy something like 3 or bb .Dipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) You need choke to hold it together at any range, Turkey choke or full is the way. fox is a small target area you are going to need all the help you can get. Big shot over AAA and i use AAA all the time on fox if im going looking for them with a shotgun. I run A turkey choke everytime.

Farma Geddon Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Big lead shot is poor at patterning. If you fire it slowly , buffer it and use tight to very tight , you can make it behave very well. I found a little 2 3/4 " Winchester buck shot cartridge , buffered ,and patterned it at 60 yards. 100% pattern. You can do the same yourself but standard factory stuff is usually useless.

If you cant take it with 36 it is too far way and just remember that the sg will have a lot of energy up behind it as it dissapears off over the horizon or through the wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
