dazlindazza Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 After some personal experiences now... I have always shot 28g loads at the clay ground, but a few people have said that they are finding 24g loads better or equally as good as the 28's. Not only are they cheaper of course, but give less recoil helping better performance. I am nearly out of shells now and have been thinking whether to get a thousand 24g loads, but thought I would pick all yours brains first to see what the general concensus is. Should I stick with the 28's or are the 24's becoming more the "norm" now? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I use 24g x 8's for my clay shooting, but the least of my worries is the shell I am using. Lack of talent I think is the main one I find they are cheaper, easier on my shoulder and seem to work just as well as anything else I have tried on the shoots we go to. If you shoot seriously, competitions etc. I can see the reason for using 28g loads. All I try and do is beat my mates, and very occasionally I do ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am sure that the law of probability will say the more pellets you have in a cartridge then you will proberbly have a better chance of hitting something . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floating Chamber Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have 21g, 24g, 25g, 28g, 30g and 32 gram loads all mixed up in my shell box. Quite honestly, there is little difference in my kills. I miss with the same frequency! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed..... When the lead ban came in for wildfowling I found myself inudated heavy lead loads up to 2 1/4 oz's. I used them all up on pigeons and quite frankly I did'nt think it increased my hit ratio at all What it do on one occasion is ****** up my shoulder.
