Yep I didn’t really take much notice of the chequering, had to go back and have another look, advertised as highly unusual 🤢 that it certainly is, I wonder how long that will be hanging around?

Yes it does look like, If it had the right strain on it and a bit more time that could be really nice

I thought it looked really nice 🤭😂

Thanks everybody for the information And lancer425 for the reloading link, That Lee shotshell is quite cheap going to look into the Reloading more, at The moment it’s looking like a no-brainer

Is it a lot cheaper to reload your own cartridges, something I hadn’t really thought about for shot gun although I do reload for my rifles, May be interested in Reloading if the prices are right

Makes me wonder what some people do think, shooting big loads at birds they don’t need to, since I’ve been loading the past two seasons it’s really open my eyes to what you can shoot with a 28g 6 through a nice old sxs some of the guns I load for don’t want to put any more than that through 130-year-old gun

That doesn’t surprise me a couple of years ago on one of the other shoots I beat on one of the boys took a pheasant home when he cleaned it it had a plastic wod in it

Kinder defeats the object, maybe one of these Carlos fandango limb savers might work 😉

😂 I think if I wanted to shoot loads like that I would stick to my 12g Mind you I was wondering what a load like that would be like to shoot through a 20

I bet they pack a punch. On the shoot where I go it’s a big shoot and the birds are not low I’ve seen the guns that can shoot take some really nice pheasants out with a 28g6 in a 20 but there are birds there for all abilities

I appreciate what you’re saying and I know he’s been let down by suppliers but it would be nice to know what was going on had no contact it’s been six weeks now ☹️

I don’t think I’d fancy eating it either if it was hit by the full pattern at medium hight😝

😂 I didn’t think it would be long before someone commented on my spelling predictive text that’s my excuse anyway tried to edit it once but didn’t seem to want to know, do you think it will be okay to shoot these Pigys at 80 yards though 🤭

That was my other option is I would’ve liked a side-by-side as it’s more traditional but there always seems to be a but i’ve always shot o/u it’s what I was given when I first started shooting, A bit like when you first start driving I bought the same car I learnt to driving in as I knew I could drive it, rabbit Boshier on here had a lovely AyA no2 I so very nearly went down that route

That sounds really nice I couldn’t think of a better way to spend 3 hours, when I’m not loading I’m picking up with the spaniels i Love working my dogs just as much as I do shooting

That made me laugh if it were me I would’ve picked something like a 28g 6, through my 12g ,if you see somebody that can really shoot everybody seems to want to know what cartridges they’re using

Yes both cocks and hens. I’m going to pattern test a few different cartridges to try and put this one to bed in my mind I tend to shoot better when I don’t think, I tend to shoot better if I snapp shoot not enough time to think just up and Bang

Guilty I have put some heavy loads through my 12g for 30 yard to 60 yard birds, haven’t really found it uncomfortable but you certainly know you’ve been shooting, nowadays I have no intention of beating myself up I’d much rather use a lighter cartridge and maybe enjoy my day more

What give me the idea I’ve been loading last season and this season for some guns that use 20 bores And I have Seen them take some very nice birds with 28g 6 rc, it started me off thinking why am I carrying this 12g around four, I’ve had a look at this chaps gun when I cleaned it it’s a fixed Choke not sure what it’s choked up at but looks quite tight

Thanks for the links I haven’t thought about the loading shot gun cartridges but I do reload for my rifles you’ve just made me think why I don’t reload for shot gun definitely going to look into this 👍

Just bought myself a 20 boar to see how I get on with it if I shoot well with it I’m thinking of taking it game shooting I have six days after Christmas, I have been reading the extreme pheasant thread with interest and not wanting to disrupt the thread I thought I would start this one, so I was out on the clays Sunday with it the first two stands were 40 yard clays I know this because I was talking to the chap that runs the shoot, So I’ve never shot a 20 boar before always shot a 12 so thinking to myself 20 boars throw A tighter pattern than a 12 I put cylinder and quarter choke in to get some practice I used a 21 g 7 1/2 And was hitting these 40 yard crossers so I think with a decent game load and a tighter choke in theory I should be able to hit 60 yard pheasants Just wondering what you guys that shoot 20 boars at game recommend i’m just looking for something that patterns well I Will buy some different cartridges and shoot them at a pattern plate to make sure I have a good pattern to see what I’m looking at realistically as I know different chokes and different cartridges will pattern differently in different guns, what do you guys shoot why?

Yes they do I converted my Ruger M77 over a couple of months ago easy to do and works very well, did you get your rings sorted ? I have a set of stainless steel 25 mil rings for am77

Me to👍

Hi I’m still waiting for my Gillet just wondering if everybody else has received there’s i’ve p.m.dodeer A couple of times with no response 🙁

I bought a set about two months ago, Rangey is pretty much spot on with his review, I was using quad sticks as well have been for a few years, they’re not quite as stable as the quad sticks but there’s not a lot in it and as said they come into their own for tracking, The thing I like about them is they are fully adjustable so you can shoot prone sitting or standing ideal if you’re static and they’re quite lightweight and easy to carry like everything they took a bit of getting used to but then so did my quad sticks!!! I wouldn’t be without them now I’ve even used them off the back of my pick up
