Thread: 12ga 3" Steel

Remmy works for me

If you live in Christchurch, it would be worth seeing what steel ammo that Fosters Chainsaws have stock (they only stock Hull ammo and only the store located on Blenheim Road sells ammo)

Been using the Falcon 3" - first shot 1 1/4oz of 4's, then 1-1/8 of 3's. Really good results. Also tried some new NSI from Maimai supplies 1-3/8oz of #3 and impressed with that also. Did a pattern test during a lull in the action, and the NSI had a great pattern.
We had very few woundies using any of the above loads, and never even got the boat out on the lake on opening day.
I haven't used the 2-3/4 Falcon yet, but I am sure it would be just as good. I just like the extra number of pellets in the 3 inch shells, but dead with 3 inch is just as dead with 2-3/4!!!!

Game Bore 2 3/4" also is a good round.
I get a sore shoulder when I just see the words 3", but that's just me these days.
And like others have said, if you are going to miss with a 2 3/4" load you are still going to miss with a 3" load.
As far as a shot size, probably no.4 steel is going to be pretty much as good as an all rounder you could use? The larger shot sizes seem to rip up the birds a bit too much, but then again, each to his own.

What shot size Dundee?

The NSI stuff looks decent and well priced too. Hadn't heard of that so thx very much.

C404 where do you get your GameBore stuff? I've had trouble finding it other than 1 place online and it seems to be by the pack only and not the case. I'd buy a pack first to test it, but not much point if the cases of it are so bloody expensive. There was a guy selling on trademe for nice prices but seems to have disappeared.
