Thread: parries are easy

yup, steel shot. i didn't do my part, but pretty sure they would have stayed down if i had been using lead. they probably went off to die somewhere slowly which doesn't make me feel great.

it happens mb
at least now even tho i dont use the 12 anymore the steel my mates use is a far cry from that cheap nasty shit we were pushed into early on.
the lack of forethought and the wrong info by people who were EXPERTS didnt help either.
but the stuff available now is a far cry from that early fiocchi crap and the b&p 32 gram gun killers.
hopefuly i,l get to try the federal 20 gauge upland steel in the near future on parries.

? I've got some of this that my Granddad gave me when he gave up his fal. Is it dangerous to my shottie? Seems to trim trees alright

Had some cheap (S and B?) ammo years ago that would gum up the entire action after very few rounds and sometimes gave off smoke like a black powder gun, well, almost.

if its thier early steel sold thru h&f read c404s comments.
thats exactly what it did to me and a mates gun at the time.
even tho c404,s talking about a different companys ammo
.

Or just stop shooting ducks. Just let them propagate all over the land, like one of Jehovah's plagues on Egypt.

and give fed farmers the excuse they need to start poisoning them on crops cos we aint doin our part ??
not fuckin likely.

went for a rematch at lake elly today but after the 4th tree across the road between rakaia and coes ford.
i decided it was to dangerous to risk ending up under a large pine or three.

Might have been a good move. Just imagine a full grown parrie drake going full noise downwind in that gale, ( if he was brave enough to fly in that wind) .
If you dropped him, he would make a crater in the mud so deep that excavating him would require six large Irishmen or at least a digger on loan from the Selwyn council.
