Definition of ‘firearm’ and ‘lethal barrelled weapon’ 2.3 Section 57 of the principal Act (as amended) defines a ‘firearm’ as (i) a lethal barrelled weapon of any description from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged with kinetic energy of more than one joule at the muzzle of the weapon (ii) a prohibited weapon (iii) any relevant component part (see below and Chapter 12) of such a lethal barrelled or prohibited weapon, and (iv) any accessory to a lethal barrelled or prohibited weapon designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon.

What an awful looking tool. 🤮

Evening guys, what app / software are you using for editing Shotkam footage? It seems to be chronic on Android?

Not quite correct. Hull do a Sovereign 2 3/4" HP only steel clay load.

Nice one, thanks for taking the time to edit and post these 👍

I use a copious amount of the 28gm clay Universal Steel range. I really like it. I assume you are looking for wildfowling loads?

Makes sense, but surely a 338LM presents a more significant danger and its allowed?

What makes 6.5CM any more dangerous than say 6.5x55? I would love to know the reasoning.

Most clay shooting 7s are marked as 2.5mm steel. So, the equivalent size to a 6.5 lead.

I was told this by Gamebore in email when I complained about "5 x graded shot" in their White Golds being a mix of 3s to 9s with quite a few egg shaped. The shot was a disgrace. So regardless of brand, it does happen. The 500 I bought appeared to be full of "waste shot".

If you purely go on the mathematics and a statistical approach to it; there is a significant gain to be had by changing shot sizes for appropriate ranges. The problem is the application and ultimately the person behind the gun. If you're not on the target, no amount of pellets will help. If its too far, there isn't enough energy in a 2.0mm pellet to break an edge on target. I could go on, but I hope you get what im implying. So, shooting skeet with 7s would be akin to using a sledgehammer to break a nut. Conversely, using a size 9 on skeet offers a massive statistical advantage on a 7. You have circa 44% more chance of hitting it assuming you are in the right area. If you offered a 400m runner the legal potential of a 44% gain, they would bite your hand of. 28gm 7 shot has roughly 352 28gm 7.5 shot has roughly 394 28gm 8 shot has roughly 448 28gm 9 shot has roughly 630 Just my 2p worth.

Agreed. Its utter nonsense.

Yes, I absolutely would. A second hand Benelli M2 around the £700-£900 would do 99.9% of all the wildfowling you will every do. Pair it with Eley Lightening Steel 3" 36gm 3s and a 1/2 choke and your singing.
