Penelope Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 http://gamebore.com/uk/cartridge/game/12g-buffalo Wonder why Gamebore make them if they are so carp! Not sure when I will get a chance to pattern test them, or actually if its worth it but I'll post up a pic and report when i get round to it!

ChrisPCarter Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) I've only ever seen them in 36g or 42g, I didn't know they did 32g. Just looked on Just Cartridges site and the only 32g Buffalo they list is in SG! Even worse. I have a couple of boxes of 36g BB I bought years ago but have never used any. I got them for foxes but no need really and they are never in my bag when the chance came up! Edited June 16, 2017 by ChrisPCarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want anything bigger than 3's I go for 50grams plus for a better pattern. I don't get through too many of those either, of course. Last fox I shot was with 28gram #6's, that's what was in the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tford Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 When we had issues with dogs getting into and attacking the ewes and lambs on a regular basis, some eley alphamax sorted them out. 3 dogs of theirs later and the owners finally took control of the problem. Those were SSGs (15 shot per ounce), but I'm sure BBs (@ 70 shot per ounce) would have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt that BBs will knock stuff dead, but a load needs to have a sufficient number of pellets to retain a useable pattern at range. 32 grams off BB is not that load.

derbyduck Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Wingman you may find they pattern well through your cilinder mossy ,many years ago I needed to finish a goose off that was out on the water and used 1.1/6 oz bb.cart through my mossy slugster and the pattern was about 20inches at 50 plus yrds !
