Thread: Ammo for opening?

I want to moved to North Island .

Ammo for opening ?

Probably use A-Maxs for the top of Ihaka spur, if the 7mm08 then 140g BT.

Won some steel shot at a sporting shoot last week, plus found a couple of half boxes in the back of the cabinet. Mixture of Remington 4s, kent 2s and some 3s of some sort. Found two boxes of Kent 3" 2s too. Not having to by ammo is nice.

Its a growing "movement" according to their research

I know what you mean the 20 seems to kill better than a 12
I used a 12 for years but went to a 20 due to back problems and I was supposed on the killing power

Game bore super steel 2 3/4" ( 1 1/16oz) No 3#'s..... For everything... None will miss a bird.
Because my shoulder is too rooted to shoot this year !! Mine will have to keep until next season.
Good luck to all.

You're kidding yourself if you think a 20g kills better then a 12g. They both kill just the same its YOU thats changed

Anyhow I used 28gr #4 cause thats all that was in the shop in 20g gauge and it seemed to peel the ducks back as good as the old boys double barreled 12's

12g = Steel
20g = Lead,
Doesnt matter if its 3/4, 1oz or 3oz. You still gotta put it in the right place. Something I couldn't seem to manage shooting clays this morning
