Chris, I ordered mine through Hamills in Hastings...

H&F Kopu had the Eley VIP 32g #4 & #5 @ $21.99 /25 so I'd expect other H&F will be stocking it as well.
Didn't have 36g though.

Thanks EBs. Whats everyone running in their 20s?

Winchester Super Pheasant 3 inch 6's for "rough shooting" or trap loads or AA Trap loads in 7s over the dog. For quail and kicks, 3/4 oz 8s in 28g ( I have sub gauge 20/28 adapters )

mmmm 28g...

How big a load in the 3 inch Winnies?

Seen 4 cock birds with in 50 mtrs of my mums place on the weekend

Petar will be frothing come opening

1 1/4oz copper plated 6's bloody expensive but hits hard

While I "really" need a new 12g u/o for sporting clays , I really want a 28g u/o just for fun (especially as Beretta 686 comes in 28g with 30 inch barrels now)

I handled a 28g beretta recently, owned by a friend of EBs. While I couldn't justify owning one at this point it was very nice to handle, in fact I wouldn't want any lighter! If I hunted quail exclusively I'd think about it
Lot of the gun geeks reckon the 28g is on par with the 20 for pattern, how do you find it?

LOL.... as if you two won't be...

We wont be shooting them, they will be left to live for breeding

Haven't shot it on quail yet but I do shoot a lot of sporting clays with my 20g and tried the inserts. With the same 3/8 and 5/8 chokes I cannot say I missed any I would not have missed with a 20. Even managed to hit the 40 yard crossing targets regularly. Very surprised actually. Can't wait to try it with a couple of 1/4 chokes on quail this year (or even a pheasant over the dogs, if i can find one!)
I use NSI 3/4oz 6's in the 28 from Maimai Supplies, Hunting and fishing have smaller shot but only 2 1/2 inch shells and 17gm payload
