The range being quoted for steel shot non magnum loads suitable for a 2 3/4 12 bore is 25 to 30 metres ,for rough shooting thats not ideal . Im hoping that will be improved on so that 2 1/2 inch chambered guns will be a viable proposition when the ban is introduced.
The birds I remember from the season are the 40 yard driven pheasants that fold up. If the ban curtails that I can see myself switching from pheasants to flighted duck. Id sooner shoot closer fast moving duck at evening flight into wetland than shoot pheasants at under 30 yards.
