All you need is a large pallet and lining paper or large cardboard boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertt Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Picked up a 6 1/4 lb 20 bore S x S with 30" last year which, I think is similar in weight to a Silver Pigeon. I have been using Hull Extreme and L/Vale Supreme both 28g 5's, on game and found the recoil to be very mild and very effective at the business end.
