jrbsr, hi mate. I've already got lengthened forcing cones in my silver pigeon 3 but just dont get on with 00buck. I've recently bought a Benelli Montefeltro and I might give that a go.

Nobody really uses buckshot over here, we're not alowed to shoot deer with it and so there is not alot of use for it and so not many gunshops stock it and those that do will only carry one brand. Gamebore buffalo is the most commonly found.

I like to keep a box in case I have to destroy a cow or big pig at work.
Some people like what we call AAA shot for foxes which i think is the same as #4buck but this generally patterns poorly as well. BB is the most commonly used fox load followed by #1 and #2 which I believe is #2 and #3 in USA shot size. BBs flatten them reliably and more consistantly than any other shot size I've tried and I shoot a lot of foxes.
