I got my new Typhoon F12 and took it to the range for a pop. I fitted the front and rear sights from my S&W M+P 15 -22. Iron sights. They work fine but when using the peep sight to the rear, it seems that his would slow me down in a match. Looking for the next target or just not seeing a target. I'm used to the Beretta 1301 where I can see all round me, so I was wondering what Holosight or red dot gets the thumbs up from established Practical Shotgun users?

That's a great connection. I haven't got the Typhoon yet, but it will be mine in a week or so, so I have some time to check out magazine systems. I don't want to buy twice either. Dorset Woodland Blades seems to be on the case with a quality item, I will be in touch with him.
The Beretta 1301 is a class act. It looks great and performs. The Benelli M2 has a much simpler trigger group and loads of international guys use them but they also use the beretta. You must use 32 gr. cartridges to break it in. After that find a good hard hitting 28 gr cartridge and stick to it. I use GB 7( it's not Gamebore) and they work. My trouble is I reload too slowly, arthritis, and lots of guys here have skipped the conventional tube fed guns and gone straight to boxfed, so it's a more level Division. I need that belt system to go with it.

Burp, I am that dinosaur.......I have a Beretta 1301, which is a great gun but stiff fingers make reloading it slow. Watching a video of me doing it is excruciating?. I bought theTyphoon to at least speed something up. I would appreciate you asking what your mates are using.

Just wondering what everyone uses for holding box magazines in Open Class in Practical Shotgun.

Try this ; put 3 or for good handfuls of brass into a pillow case and tie it closed. Put the pillow case into the next regular wash in the washing machine. Do not put the pillow case in by itself, put it in along with the dirty clothes. It works.

I get that alright, another field and the cylinder choke might not work so well. The field I was set up in is all shapes, like a jigsaw piece. I need to watch muzzle angle with a house and a road to be considered. The most difficult birds were those that committed then changed their minds but that's the challenge. Watching crossers fold was what made my day.
-
I forgot to give the tally........55 woodpigeon using 6's. Only 2 birds needed dispatch. There's something about choke that excites passions in shooters, especially wood pigeon shooters. Cylinder worked for me yesterday I know that, and I will use it again.

I keep an eye on a barley field near me and set up on it 2 weeks ago. Hot weather and all the gear made for an uncomfortable set up. I was using the Yeoman 1/4 and 1/2. I took about 12 birds with many missed birds especially crossers. Last Friday I noticed the field was cut with lots of birds flying around the trees and dropping in. So, I went out today again only this time I dumped all I could out of the kit bag that I thought was not needed. I only took one net and a few full bodied decoys. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the pigeon decoy and fitted one of those sticks with a spring. I also left the Yeoman and took the Mossberg 500 which is cylinder choked. What a difference. Crossers dropping and hitting way more birds than usual. It was cool today and even cold for a while, but the fun was mighty. I think I'll stick with the Mossberg. I know we often debate the hell out of the choke question but cylinder worked for me today.

HP -38 is going also. I used it for everything. Vectan 9.5 is it nearest equivalent and almost identical to Viht n320.

Good work Greenerp. Made round.......
-
Yes. That's the 7/8 Lee slug isn't it? I'm prepared to experiment and learn.
-
Roger that. I needed mine to trim slug hulls which would not fit into the California strippers I have. There's a spacer in them to accommodate longer cartridges but it's too much during a competition. Also I want to make buckshot cartridges and I need the flexibility.
-
I just got it this morning. It's a great bit of kit, well made and easy to use. Yes, the screw allows you to vary the cut. All so simple when it's in your hands. Mine came from Folkestone Engineering £34 delivered. I would have bought yours Snow White.
-
I'm looking at a Gaep case trimmer but I cant find any instructions or YouTube videos about it. For example is it adjustable. Can I vary the length of the trim? If anyone has one I would be grateful for some information.
Predictive nuisance.

R.E.M., could you post a video or some pics of your setup?
-
I don't own a chronograph but I have had my birdshot chronied at a level 3. It was GB 7's so there was no problem. But...if I make some buckshot shells it might be a problem because I would be guessing the Power Factor. Pattern would be my primary concern for now. I make slug which are accurate and reliable using 20 grains is Vectan AS. I was going to replicate that load to begin with for the buckshot.

Grange.........spot on. Thanks

I'm going to try reloading some buckshot shells for IPSC Practical Shotgun. I need to make sure I get it right because a mistake can be costly when buying the components. My question mostly concerns the size of the lead balls needed to make a complete shell. Is there a standard size? The website I am looking at, Shellhouse, lists different sizes. Can anyone tell me what size is the standard or is Thera standard even. My guess is .357 diameter.
Has anyone dabbled making IPSC Buckshot?

The humble AYA Yeoman. Longtime favourite for pigeon.

You can buy a set of springs to replace 1. The ejector spring, 2. Trigger spring and 3. The lever spring.
when I replaced the triggerspring I considered it too light, like hair trigger light, so I went back to the original which I thought was fine. Try YouTube. I saw one guy ease the trigger by adding a shim under the existing flat spring. I think he used a flattened piece of coke can.
i don't know of any way of "home smithing it" by filing etc. I read loads about the Rossi 92 and have never heard of anyone filing or stoning the mechanism, but let us know how you get along with your project.

Errol is a gentleman but he doesn't have a great selection of guns. He's good for cartridges though, very competitive.

Many clubs say the membership is closed but, of course, it's not. Start with your firearms dealers and tell them what you want and ask for an introduction. Keep at it.

I'm sorry that I've no solution to your problem. I believe you need a cabinet maker not a gunsmith though. When I saw the photo I immediately thought the grain of the wood was at fault, nothing to do with rough handling, and so it will never be repaired. Many rifles have a different, harder wood in that position, maybe for good reason. However, it's a bit much this happening in a Perazzi. Let us all now any resolution you find.

Nice rifle. Does it take 10 cartridges in the tube. It's for Cowboy Action so 9+1 is not allowed.
anyone reload 7.62x54r
