  1. Both of my semi autos (Beretta 391 and a 30 year old 303) cycle 24 gm Eley Olympic Blues without any problem. 

    I think the length of the cartridge is important, light loads in 65 and 67 mm cases seem to jam before they slide into the chamber the Olympic blues are in a 70 mm case.

  2. I have a near identical oily rag and it came from an old cotton shirt that had a brushed finish on the inside, the type that you could buy at the game fairs £5 each. I suspect it is the 100% cotton that makes it so good !

  3. We do mountain walking holidays in Southern Austria most years and the horse-flys there are wicked ! I react badly and have found that the best cure is neat TCP applied with a cotton bud ASAP on the bite. Needs repeating a few times but works well !

  4. I have been in the same position, my MK38 started to hurt.

     

    I now shoot a Beretta 391 Urika and 24 gm cartridges - the change has been well worthwhile !

     

    At an "Away day" I fired 260 cartridges and went home with no injury and only minor stiffness of my shoulder the next day.

    Best of luck with your choice.

  5. If those measurements are the bore (18.5mm) and the tightest part of the choke then the restrictions will be 1.1mm and 0.6mm which in english equals .043" (full) and .024" (half) !

     

    But as dougall has correctly stated you need to fire at a pattern plate to determine the true result.
