    mate if you want a real tooth loosener...try some rem hypersonics (preferably in a shotgun you dont own) faaaark those puppies are naaaaasty. used up the half box I was given and never ever again. they were fed through my pump which was a heavy bitch to begin with and Ive added nearly another lb to that to help dampen recoil. I had 3 or 4 times where I short stroked action....or maybe the shells got shook up so much they didnt feed????? I would hate to think what they would be like in a light single barrel break open gun.
    the winchester XPert loads are a nice load and I was stoked to find them at reasonable price this season.

    funny you should mention hypersonic someone offered a case of them in 12 g 2 shot for 300 buks said maybe I could move them on to some goose hunters or the nzgbh.
    guess I know why.
    my worst recoil experiences was the 375 h&h a snider carbine and a 28 inch barrelled 3.5 inch chambered extrema with mammoth 2 ounce loads.
    the h&h pushed, the snider lifted you up and said back the fuck up ,the 2 ouncers literaly hammered you dizzy and made reconsider you life choices,.
    firing 3 rounds left me curled up in the dirt in the foetal position crying for my mum

    Hi Kevin,



    Thanks for the enquiry, we currently don’t have anything in stock. If you have a look at the Federal website we could bring in anything that is currently available. Let me know what you are after and I can get some pricing to your local dealer to quote you.

    now for the ultimate test minimum order required

    20g range - Federal Premium Ammunition - Shotshell



    Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions.





    Kind regards,

    I went and brought more mikee cos it was the only steel available and was told I needed it for the lake last year.
    but that's been sorted and doc are gonna follow f&g rules now til its phased out I guess.
    the rem 870 in 20 is no lightweight but some overhead shots with the blackcloud had me thinkin I was shooting 10 gauge out of a tooth pick.
    I'm askin the distributor about prarrie cloud fs steel it comes in a 7/8 ounce load of 3s or 4s sounds more accomadating than the heavier black cloud load

    sorry that should read prarie storm theres a game and target steel 2 3/4 inch load that should be interesting for decoying ducks pidgeons whatever depending on price.
    quoted about 39 buks a box for the prarie storm upland steel load plus maybe some freight 29 for thw 2 3/4 load.which comes in 6s or 7s.
    maybe have some by January next year more like febuary maybe
