Antimony

Would be very surprised if there was any difference between the results of a 7.5 with 0% 2% or 5% at the sub 50 yard range at which the majority of shots are taken.

Nothing to back it up mind, just an inkling!

Thanks ed. That is my thought and the reason for the debate.

The biggest problem of course is that we're just not able to do meaningful comparisons anyway because pretty much all shells vary as to their exact recipe; the only way of knowing is to shoot long birds with 2% & 5% cartridges that have nearasdamit the same velocity and happen to pattern similarly through a given gun, even then you're trusting the manufacturers claims as to the actual antimony percentages.

If antimony is expensive, which it probably is, they''ll be less and less of it going in these days.
