    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    I would suggest that you see what Fosters chainsaws in Blenheim Road, have in stock. They are generally cheaper than the gun shops

    I just gave nearly 10 box's 20g 4's to a fella down your way few months ago. I don't duck shoot (I have no contacts here) so use size 6 or smaller.

    Now that you're a 20g shooter, there are key differences between us and those "other" shotgun users. One is Fiber Wads, these little reason not to use them now.

    Lets not cover the country side in plastic!

    I use the paper case/fibre wad for hunting. I'm clean and green, apart from the nasty evil lead!!

    Only time I ever use a 12g lately is for mud pies, take the 20 for everything else.

    I'm another who would recommend MaiMai Supplies. The NSI fibrewad load is very pleasant to shoot, especially if you're likely to fire quite a few rounds in a day. But my 'go-to' load when I need to kill birds proper is B&P Mythos.....it proper fucks them.
