A shotgun reloading question


Recommended Posts

Well, for now, my hunting gun would be a 12 gauge 11 87 Remington, with 2 3/4 & 3 inch shells. I guess I would have to use steel shot. So for pheasants, would you need #2 shot? Dang birds flush in the next county.

For Pheasants I would go with HEVI STEEL. It is about half way in price between Hevi Shot and Lead.... I think I paid $16.00 for a box of 25. Works well and is effective with the same size shot as lead. I use the #4 shot for ducks and Pheasant.

And what about quail.

I like steel # 7 shot from Remington or Kent. Very effective at ranges for quail.

 

How much wear on the barrel and SS choke tubes?

You should always use both in barrels/chokes designed for steel shot.

 

So many questions and so few answers,
