Thread: no lead from 2021

the point not mentioned is the minister stopped short of a total ban on all lead shot in all gauges even outside the game bird season.......yep total ban, and who the hell wanted that ?
what the bright sparks down south don't realise is that once you start banning or losing shit it gives weight to other issues that may suddenly appear........plastic wads and shooting spoonies being my main concern.

would she have gone that far given the heli shooters wont use steel in the braided river beds??

Im probably going to get slammed for this but all you pro lead guys need to move on. Its fucking boring to listen too. We have shot hundreds of ducks season after season since the ban was introduced. Sure it took a bit of getting used too
with different speeds and chokes etc but I reckon it kills as well as anything else when used correctly . By used correctly I mean the right shot charge for the game , Speed , Choke and marksmanship. Concealment is key.

no slamming about it Nathan f here your opinions as valued as anyone elses.
well given ive got 2 boxes of what I'm told is the only available steel 20 gauge ammo in the country remote useful for waterfowl,and steel still cant be used for clays so practise is out,
where would you suggest Nathan f we get the ammo chokes and marksmenship practise??.
would you say the introduction of 12 steel was handled well or did we get a load of mis information by so called sponsored experts that probably cost thousands of wounded waterfowl.
I would darely like to avoid the same mess but given I cant get one supplier to say the will bring in 20 gauge steel let alone the even less used gauges,i cant see that mess being avoided again.
what am I supposed to do??.buy a 12 I cant use properly because they fucked up and didn't do their job right in the first place.
or because they created a market for subgauges which they,ve unilateraly decided now is an embarrassment.??
yes steels passable and kills things when you use the right loads and shotsizes but subgauges are way more sensitive to this and there wont be the steel ammo choice of the 12 guareentee it.[img][/img]
just over half these parries were killed with the only 20 gauge steel waterfowl load available 3 inch blackcloud 2,s
it was not pretty broken wings tight elongated and or uneven patterns out of a quarter choke even.
