No1 in steel

Gamebore no3 👍

For ducks I tend to use 2s, 3s or 4s. For geese I usually use BB or hw13 loads in size 2 or 4.

nic could not agree more they will stop anything at sensible range .

Ducks and for the quick chance at a goose without time to change, Gamebore 36g 3’s.

I use 42g BBs/1’s for geese. Personally prefer the 1’s. Not entirely convinced that you need 42g but hard to change from something that works.

If a bit more feedback comes out I’d be tempted to switch to the Eley with the eco wads but that’s probably something for next season

hearing a few good reports on TSS with lower powder loads and stopping ability further and better than lead..... its just 'how much?'

As others have said size 3 shot is a good all-rounder, if you can get some size 1 shot too ideal if plenty of geese around or ducks are a bit higher.

Loaded subject.

At 40 yards #9 Tungsten18, and #2 lead have the same energy.

I found steel 4’s very effective against Canada geese up to about 45 yards.

Practically the 1st time out with my new Browning Maxus - Solway Steel 36G No.1, - a small skein of geese flighting over not extreme range but I had 3 and they were all stone dead.

Maybe good fortune paid a part but I wont be looking to buy a different brand as they worked well and I have every confidence in them.

If they work for stick with them, what choke did you use.
