I agree with Paul especially on the clays shooting. 12g is still the king. I'd say at our range it would be easily 75%+ of the shooting is done with a 12g. 20g is a steady contributor with some guys devoted to mainly shooting that cartridge followed by 28 then .410 and 16 bringing up the rear. The 16 I attribute to whether the shooters reload or not. That gun gets hunted a lot but unless the guys find reasonably priced 16g ammo or they reload they will only break it out occasionally for clays. We have quite a few guys who regularly shoot 28 & .410.
As for the previous thread regarding lead shot ban in England, remember, they view firearm ownership as a privilege, not a right. You need to ask permission from big bro to own a firearm and to buy ammo and components. The only thing the UK and Europe got right was suppressors. You pretty much are required to use a suppressor most places when shooting rifles. My only beef with that is it's not a choice, it's a mandate. I prefer to use suppressors, I despise when big bro mandates my decisions.
