Perhaps "same idiots, different bullshit" ...

The question, I would like to ask is, what do we do with our 20g lead ammo ... dig a nice little hole and bury it ... get a refund ... use it all up
shooting clays???

Of course, steel is worse than any lead pellet ... lead pellets are often encapsulated under the skin, steel will bring about gangrene in time ...

Yeah, go ahead and reinvent the frecking wheel ... the wheels on the bus go round and round ... scream like noise ...!!!!

You could always use it on wabbits, hares and such. Oh and Geese since they are no longer a game-bird. I may be wrong but I thought the ban was only applied when hunting waterfowl? So we can still use it for upland hunting?

What load would you need for a 20g on Canada geese ...?? I know, silly question ...

not at all silly EeBees
in steel the 3 inch black cloud 2,s are the only real option if you can get them.
but in lead i use gamebore 2 3/4 inch 30 gram 4,s and or 3,s for close decoying birds with the fiochhi 30 gram load of two,s for the last load or two in the gun.
i used to use the 3 inch fiochhi 36 gram load in 2,s but found it unneccessary mostly, not to mention cheek rattling.
pass shooting geese hell yes the 3 inchers takes up spot 3,4,5, in the mag with 1,and 2, filled by the 2 3/4 inch 30 gram 2,s with a modified choke for all goose hunting.
unfortunatly pass shooting geese flighting off the river to stubble fields is pretty much fucked.
thanks to constant pressure and greatly reduced goose numbers the birds wont even land in the paddock the want to feed in.
but stage in paddocks a bit away from them and watch till dark almost for any danger signs and if they see dekes ''forget about it''

4-5 shot works for me. The 20 is my sons gun but I have to buy the ammo and have not seen larger shot than 4,5 and 6 in stores locally.
