A cartridge is a cartridge. One gram of the next larger shot size will not make a bit of difference. Well said. 49 cartridges for 22 birds in 50 mph winds is good for me as we don’t have thousands of birds here I was happy with that on that day sorry . i expect you could of got 49 for 49 with your ammo On 25/08/2020 at 10:42, JDog said: What chokes did you have in your gun? I have long considered using 7.5 shot but it may be less effective in quarter choke compared to three quarters choke. My guns are fixed chokes. Mines full choke perfect at 30. - 60 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Buy the cheapest carts in size 7 or 7.5 and enjoy your shooting. Few years ago the English Sporters were £134.00 a thousand or a bit less iirc. Wish they still were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a simulated game day a couple of years ago and took along all the fibre wads I had tucked away - 30 and 32 g game, 21, 24 and 28 g clay, four different manufacturers. The thumpiest of the lot by far were the English Sporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
