Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Combination Guns and Drillings Pondering ideal drilling configuration

Usually you only need one shot with a rifle but birds come in flocks. For a big game/bird drilling I'd look at a 16ga/16ga/7x57R, a 6.5x57R, 7x65R, 8x57R or on of the 9.3's wouldn't be out of the question. 16ga keeps them svelte and ounce of shot whatever will be very effective.

My 16ga/16ga/7x57R



16ga/16ga/9.3x72R I used an ounce of NP



16ga/16ga/6.5x58R Sauer another falls to an ounce of NP BB's



16ga Brennekes work well also in the shotgun barrels if you need two rounds for big game.
