Ultrastu Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 32 grm of no 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 So far you have the rabbit and crow satisfactorally covered at 32 grms, but if the pigeon are decoyed then - unless you're using a lot of choke which doesn't help at the shorter ranges - 7s are a better option I think.

Walker570 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Put them in the middle of the pattern to start with and then anything from 19grms of #7s out of a 410 up to the heaviest load you can buy ..... repeat ...put them in the pattern to start with ..... I shoot a lot of pigeons and crows, partridge and pheasants with 18.5 grms of 7s very successfully. I also occasionally pick up a high brass, super doper cannon shells 12 gauge on my shoot and amazingly the pheasants/partridge they shoot fall out of the sky in the same way. If your shooting a 12 gauge then Ultrastu is spot on, a quality 32grm load will do the job adequately if you do. on edit...just picked up the reference to rabbits and enjoy a day or two ferreting and bolting rabbits using the Mossy 410 and #7 Fiocchi seem to do the job.
