Thanks Humpty. I was a bit curious about the use of big bores in Russia when I saw the picture. Good fun to use but mine only gets dragged out for goose shooting in Scotland where lead shot can still be used; and of course the occasional clay shoot to give it an airing. Lagopus.....
You're welcome

So, in Scotland there's no ban on lead shot for waterfowl? Interesting!
That means, if someone
really wanted to know if lead shot was indeed so lethal for waterfowl, the good old island makes a perfect place to run a 100% solid, objective and verifyable study on the matter.
Sorry about the OT.
