Smudger687 Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Out of interest, why choose 5 shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have proven over many years Steel 5's are excellent for Duck best not mention Geese as a few might have a hissy fit oooops i already have. I'm already eager to go with Steel 6's Yes not a misprint Steel 6's. Bishop I've used 13/16oz Steel to good effect. Good luck mate for the coming season 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nacnud Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I tried #5 Steel last season to good effect, no problem with pheasants and mallard. As I’m now loading for a 28g I’ve got some #6 steel shot to try, anybody else use #6 steel shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
