captainhastings Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Whats the score I was given a mixed bag of cartridges only a few but there are a few hevi shot ones. Are they better than normal steel ? Tempted to pop them in the escort in the morning on the ducks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Both types (original and sintered) of hevishot are a very good non tox, more would probably use it, if it were cheaper..........what brand, length and shot size are the shells?

shakin stevens Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Excellent duck round back in the day , half choke will do the trick nicely 🤙 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhastings Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Ok thanks. I only have about 20 and was curious. Opportunities to shoot a duck are at a premium so didn't want to mess about with any thing that might hinder me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Been having a nose a round online just out of interest to see where you can buy them. But seem to find them anywhere. Just in case they grow on me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemFandango Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Is CGR powershot fairly similar to Hevi-shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
