Thread: Ammo Availability?

and we tried it on big lake...and hated it.....sticking to our #2-3s that have worked and proven themselves over last 10 years.
funny how what suits some folks ,not so much for others...
the very best load Ive used was gamebore 3'' #3s closely followed by winchester xpert the same loading. doesnt seem to be huge advantage to heavier payload,the 32-34grn works fine and even the 30 grn payload kills well enough.
one thing we have noticed...the last 3 seasons (last one doesnt count) there are no where near as many woundies on open water...it seems most folks are killing cleanly or clean missing now...previous seasons I would get up to dozen over weekend.
I actually some seasons get more birds from pickups n woundies than get shot over the dekes!!!!

the 3" falcon worked well for me....buggered if know what difference is....

Gc order has come in I’m pretty sure

the 3" falcon 32 gram has a 50fps advantage over the 2.3/4" 32 gram
the 3" 36gram is 10fps slower than the 2.3/4" 35gram load....
so differences.... bugger all id say. happy to be proven wrong

Outdoor Adventure Sports in Ashburton, apart from being an outstanding sport shop has a good supply of Falcon & other brands of steel shot

Kills great with less wounded ducks than #2 or #3. A good dense pattern for shooting winged divers on the river/ponds.

That’s the go in both my Berettas. They love it. Ducks don’t.

I got a mixture.

Gave out some duck dinner this morning and set my decoys. Gonna use falcon #4 bismuth this opening.
