(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.

that loadis a cracker doesn't boot to much and is a proven killer on geese and ducks in 2 and 3,s outdoor adventure even had it in 4s to if I remember right.
.the 3 inch 20 gauge blackcloud load pure and simple is a shoulder smackin arsehole of performance in 2 shot on anything smaller than a medium sized Canada goose.
it might be ok in 4shot but believe me shooting at funny angles with it aint much fun if the 2 shot load is anything to go by.

The only exemption will be for the small bore .410 shotguns which are sometimes used by beginner hunters and for which humane non-toxic shot loads are not available.”

no the 410,s still exempt which raises more questions than it clears up.

what really fucks me right off is f&g are big on science and latest infomation to bash,[ and rightly so] certain areas, and PRACTISES IN FARMING.
but when it comes to us licence buyers 93 buks a year gets us f&g land sold to doc and a rangi bloody survey of 1,000 odd shooters from 2009 and thats considered good enough info and cause ?????
YEA FUCKIN RIGHT
