In the UK we have a good selection of excellent ammunition. I use 26g Eley Grand Prix No.6 and have always been pleased with it.


I'm with Dig on this - I use a Darlow of Norwich 16 bore s*s sidelock for a number of types of shooting and really enjoy using it. We have a reasonable selection of ammunition here in the UK, although for traditional 2.5 chambers, (understandably) this is generally restricted to 1oz loads and below. See attached for interest.
