What do you use for grouse?

[Foxton Gundogs]

I will use 7.5, 8, or 6 shot in that order...depending on terrain and what I have in my pocket at the time.

When wing shooting, I think choke is more important than the size of shot or gauge. I like a cylinder choke or IC for grouse.

Good point Sasq. I use Imp. Cyl. bottom Mod. top shooting the IC first. with my M12 Polly Choke it's set 1/2 way between Mod and IC

# 8 and cylinder. LOL
you do understand what choke does?

[Foxton Gundogs]

What is this choke thing you speak of lol

Killed one by hitting it in the Mellon with a rock .

Any shotgun with #6 shot gives you plenty of energy for grouse even if it's a longer shot. If you're using a .22, go with a standard velocity cartridge, in most .22s they'll give you more accuracy than a high velocity round and a lot more than a hyper velocity 32 grain round. The CCI Velocitor is one high velocity round that has plenty of snap and shoots well in my .22, but in general the standard velocity rounds shoot tighter groups.

What kind of 22's do you guys use?

All that is avalible around here is the winchester wildcats, they are 40 gr. Should be good enough for ditch chickens .

Also, anyone try shooting one with a pellet rifle?

Savage Mark II 22 LR 36 gr hollow points that my son will use on the ground and I will be using a Remington 812 single shot 12 gauge full choke 2 3/4 with #6 shot for the wings

I usually can't be bothered unless they are blues but when I do I use a 410 single shot, 20 gauge Ithaca pump or a .22 . I have a new-to-me .22 Stevens Favourite that I'd love to try given the chance.

[ramintony]

my 22 or 410 but my fave usually is a decent szed rock its the cheapest to

anshutz model 300 with 4x bushnell, winchester white box .22 shoots a 1" group at 25m in this rifle. Works great for bush chicken and wabbit!
