Rabbit shells

Post by coolbrze »

What's your alls fav. rabbit shells? I shoot Winchester Super-Xs or Supremes (4-6 shot), but always dream they'll come out w/ AA 4 or 6 though, it would be well worth the extra $$$.

I reload #5's in 12 gauge, but yesterday I bought a case (10 boxes) of Remington #6's in 20 gauge on sale for $3.99 a box.

I use #5's in my 12 gauges all year around. I use #6's & occasionally #7 1/2 in my 20 gauges. I would use #5's in 20 gauge if I could find them.
* I enjoy meeting new Beaglers & Squirrel Dog Owners. It's a blessing to find other's with such unique interests.
* I also enjoy helping future hunters.

.410 6's or 4's if I am up north hunting hare... single shot makes me take my time. :)

usually a 12 ga and whatever I have around.

I just bought a 16 ga single shot after season was out, so I will give that a whirl this year and see what happens. Probably in 6's.
