    i have heard 22-250 is quite effective for the more difficult shots at range,
    BRADS and Happy like this.
    My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!

    Thanks for the welcome, and replies. I can only put 2 3/4" shells through my shotty so that limits the options a bit. I think I'll get a few different boxes and blast some cardboard and see what the patterns look like. It is currently un-choked. I have looked at getting it choked but there wouldn't be a lot of steel left if I did. To be honest, it is more of a trap gun that I am using as a multi-tool (trap, ducks, pests). I'll grab a box of tungsten and see if that helps. I know its pricey but as I'm jump shooting, I only use a few rounds each time. For the pond I'll try some 2 or 3's in steel. Thanks for the advice. If you see me walking up the Ashley in Feb with a yellow lab come and say gidday. Cheers.

    I might be being a bit cheeky, but is there anyone in Canterbury keen to let me have a crack at some parries on their land? As an urban hunter the hardest thing is finding access. I have some family with farms but for some reason they want to leave the parries alone. Might be able to donate the odd cray or moki fillet to show my appreciation. Cheers.

    The thing about steel is it patterns a lot tighter and more evenly than lead , so if you leads were just catching the bird in your pattern with lead you will probably fringe it or miss completely with steel . The US Wildlife guys identified wounding as a major cause of duck death long before steel came along so lead isnt entirely blameless .
    Get as close as you can then six feet closer

    A 12g with a knife cut round the cartridge just behind the wad. Wad,shot,and 1/2 the hull go out the barrel complete, they whistle a bit but devastating on impact, good range as well, mine the choke size!

    1- 1 1/4oz #4 or #5 lead is all we;ve ever shot on ducks
    Geese get #2 lead
    You can stick your steel up your arrrrzzee

    I use steel shot. It took me a while to come around but in the long run its lack of preformance can only make you a better shooter

    Re: Best ammo for parries?

    I take it this could get interesting with full or extra full choke ?
