    yes the early slow steel loads were shite...pure and simple

    a 1oz load of steel #2s going 1500fps is a good duck or goose killing load......with the right choke and within sensible range.....as is a 7/8th oz load.
    (maybe not the best...for my money the 1 1/8th oz load of #2 or #3 doing 1550fps is pretty plurry hard to go past)
    the light loads are plurry LOUD but kill well
    been there and prooved it while getting the young fella used to the .12ga
    we then went to 30 grm////// 1 1/16thoz factory loads from gamebore
    not because they were better but because making reloads with a old whackamole loader takes time and not all shells resized properly so ok in the single barrel but gave issues at times in other guns.
