[quote=L. Brown]Scattershot comments:
Re the UK and steel: They've had steel loads for some time now that can be used in vintage doubles. Reduced velocity and pressure, and shot sizes no larger than US 5. And Gamebore offers tungsten matrix shells in 2 1/2" hulls.
Reduced velocity steel loads are what we had 40 years ago. Absolute trash. Steel shot at 1200 FPS was not a good load for quickly killing ducks. You could center a duck at 30 yards and watch it fly away, then drop stone dead 200 yards away, never to be recovered. If I have to use reduced steel loads again I will stop hunting. It is not fair to the ducks.
