Ears Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) there are alot on the market. Hull make a 24gram pigeon squib for a 20b and it is very good. try to use plastic wads not felt or fibre if that is ok with the land owner. Also, you can try a few different makes until you find one you like. Dont go bellow 24 grams as they get a bit wimpy. The Gamebores are **** try Hull, Express or RC even Eley make a CT competition load thats not bad for the money and you can get them in 6 shot to. If you can put up with heavier loads 28 grams give a little more hitting power, but a little more recoil. but RC T3 28g is a cracker. If you want one shot size to do both jobs 7.5 shot size will be fine but my advice is use 6 shot for pigeons and 7.5 or smaller for the clays. all the best and happy shooting.
