Thread: Decoys

okay cheers for that!

Yea I was even tempted being new to the game to grab some number 4's but in a slightly heavier loading due to being more pellets and a good confidence builder for a newbie?

I've been told for lead mini mag is mint stuff but at a 42 gram loading i think my shoulder won't be too happy lol!

#4 shot lead or steel works fine with 36 gram , less leed required for steel .#2 or 3 probably better in steel but I'd stick with 36g

yea I was thinking that mate!

36g # 3's :-)

alright next week I gotta buy some and I was going to buy a slab.... whos got quality ammo at under 200 for 250? any recomendations?

In a 3" loading? or 2 3/4 do the trick?

36g steel will be 3" ,lead 2 3/4" .

You would be better off with Falcon 2 3/4 in 3 shot than the Rios I would have thought. Use the Rios up busting clays and then buy some falcon for the season.

Have nearly a slab of 40 g Falcon #4 if anyone wants them ,bout 200 shells I think.(lead)

What do you guys think of tungsten shot? also I'm thinking of buying a slab of Clever T3 12g Soft Steel Hunting 2 3/4" 35 gram Number 3s ?

Alright bac too the subject my decoys are out!Only nine days too go

I haven't personally used it but a shooting mate didn't have good things to say about any of the Clever ammo. Is it tungsten or tungsten matrix? Tungsten is hard, very hard and there is a small chance it may scratch your barrel. Tungsten matrix is tungsten powder mixed with plastic so it's soft - softer than lead but still heavy like lead.

Personally I would just stick with mainstream ammo. Gamebore or kent or if you are cheap, Falcon.

Heheheheee!! at least with 1s you wont have to pluck them

i have use clever ammo and have had no problems with it, in both lead and steel

cheers,I am going to buy some 2 3/4 soft steel from reloaders!

if your up my way give me a bell and ill buy you a drink :-)

I'm wondering if maybe you're gonna get some big wholes in you pattern with 1 1/8 oz #3's
Couple of box's of Winchester super-x steel in 36g / 1 1/4oz might be worth having for back-up.

Opening day comes but once a year

dont waste your $$ on winchester shit, nothing wrong with clever ammo
