We are looking to start hunting a few groups of local geese.
What are you using for 40-50 yds. shots?
I've got a full choke 12 ga. throwing 1 1/4 load of #4's shot, at 40 yds. a heavy 22-24 inch circle count in the circle is 150 average about 180 to 200 total count in the 30" circle out of the 240 total count of. I have 6 boxes of these to use up.
Is this load of 4's this heavy enough for Geese at range of 40-50 yds? with about 5-6 hits up to say 12.
I tried to pattern t's and bb and too many wholes in the pattern at 40 yds. Older 1 1/8 loads pattern is just all over at 30" and only a few groups of heavy enough for a 2-3 hits at 40 yds.
Any one loading steel 3" ? What are your loads > hulls, wad, and powder, shot size? Not looking to load 3 1/2 " Don't own one.
Thanks !! Teddy
