what is the biggest heaviest sg cartridge you can buy for the 12g im currently using gamebore buffalo is there anything bigger with more punch thanks

Mmmmmmm.......................

What the feck are you shooting?

SG lay in layers of 3 in a 12 gauge, I'm guessing the next size up would have 12 pellets instead of 9. Why dont you drop down to special SG or SSG. Its pellets that kill.

It doesnt matter what you use though, if your aim is not good you won't hit the target.

Mate, I might be wrong but if you intend to use a shotgun on deer, then strictly speaking you should be using AAA, or slug of some description. From what you have said, the above fits the legal requirements to use a shotgun, but SG doesn't fit the bill in the eyes of the law, if you wish to remain legal.

 

I am guessing that there is some humane reason for this as well, which is probably the fact that there just isnt enough pellets in any SG cartridge to gaurantee a clean kill.

Hi, if I were you I would apply for a variation to your ticket to allow you the use of solid slugs in your shot gun.

You an now purchace slugs that are safe with any choke.

They have a large margin of era for a kill shot, hence the German and frenh hunters using them for running shots.
