Alsone 789 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Ive used alphamax bb and alphamax magnum no.3 and find the no.3 pattern alot better Yeah they will. A lot more shot in a No:3 cartridge, around 70 more in the Solway pictured above (195 total). That said, at 125, BB should pattern quite well as well. Although No:3 do the job, personally, I'd try some No:1 as I reckon No: 1 to BB is about the sweet spot for balancing shot size with pattern / overall shocking. If you go up to AA, then shot drop to around 38 and SG to around 9! Fine at point blank, not so good at greater range where insufficient shot may hit to ensure a clean kill. Others may have other ideas though. Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Cheers Alsone. Ill try some no.1's next time I take shottie for fox. Quote Link to post
Bigad 136 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 What the price on no.1s per box as the solway where £11 something but the guy said fox out up to 50yard no problem and he was right Quote Link to post
