It should be cheap enough . I got a big block for about £8 .but I'm a chippy and live in timber yards It is lovely to work with . It cuts and chisels well and sanding is easy to shape the stock .it also takes a stain well too .I painted mine for ease .

Do you mind me asking about the thought process that lead to getting both .22 lr and .17hmr ?
-
Sorry but if you are talking about a bsa ultra se .your a bit off . Cal makes a difference too .to pressure range and shot count . The older mmc ultras are different again .

It's generally accepted that slower speeds pattern better and hit harder than fast carts . And at 30 yds that would equate to around 30 fps faster IF they aren't more deformed
-
Well all else being equal . If you drive the shot faster you potentially damage more of the lead in the shot Column at the rear and sides against the barrel and against the wad ..meaning these pellets will be deformed more and fly slower and wider than the intended mark . Reducing the over all speed and accuracy potential of the cartridge .

Good but not to expensive

I'd say it's even less than that.

The best and easiest wood to work with is iroko .It's a tropical hard wood .but it's relativley soft and very fine and straight grained. Which makes it light and forgiving .most Tiber yards should have a block or 2. I made a stock with my big chunk earlier this year.

I take it its a .22 cal ? And

Looks like a crimper for metal stud work . So instead of screwing the studs together u use this crimper . Quicker and cheaper.

Cheers walker .was telling my mate about how you shoot pheasants with your .410 and do very well . I had the shoot owner / guy running it .come up to me after I dusted the last lot of clays .say. how he started on a.410 but moved up to a 12b and never looked back . I replied .Well most long term accomplished shooters do start on .410 but eventually come back to them when they have learnt to shoot properly . Still looking for a 18 + grm no 7.5 fibre cart to go through my .410 I was shooting no 6 and no5 today

Mate and I took our .410s up a small clay shoot this morning .it only has 5 traps in the woods. But has some tricky targets flitting through the trees . Our. .410s are moderated .mine an add on single shot .his a baikal fully modded single .to be fair jd has only just got his and struggled a bit at first but finished the session strong breaking 3 or 4 in a row .having found where the gun was shooting . Mine ive had a while and has done well on crows and pige .So I was confident . My hit rate today was around 85 % possibly a bit higher .the last 15 clays I only missed 2. . This was very satisfying to break clays with this little pop gun as a crowd of 12b shooters stood behind watching Some of who struggled to connect with the clays . A very pleasing morning and a massive confidence booster in the gun and cal .

Fair enough it is a better ret. Than a mildot .

Fast cartridge vs slower cartridge
Ultrastu replied to Young guns's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
Looking at those bc figures for lead shot sizes .I think they are way way off . It says a no6 shot has a bc of 0.0231 No way .that would be the similar to a 10 grn round head .177 pellet fired around 800 fps. . Also we must remember bc values change with muzzle velocity. And also over the range they are measured .So of you calculate a bc .Over say 20 yds . The exact same value would be different if you calculated it over 40 yds . Bc is a guide to energy retention at best. And is generally accepted as being far from a precise means of working out the retained energy or velocity of a projectile. -
Shame thats not an sr pro ret

Bought a dash cam last week for exactly this reason .Hope you get it sorted quickly .
-
Well for me i only have 2 hushpowers .So no problems there

A decent relatively light weight boot with gortex liners . Something from Solomon or berghaus Should do
-
Well excuse me . Aga man clearly is experiencing the same issues that many before him have found when shooting a moderated mossberg . I'm trying to help him, giving a few different ideas And solutions to the problem . And your doing ???? He is clearly an accomplished shooter who could obviously teach the likes of me a thing or 2 about this sport. But experience come from all different places and we can all benefit from the wider audience that is pw.

I'm afraid that nessesary with a gun with a large mod on the end . I made this for mine . It makes my shot gun feel more like a rifle. Which for me is a good thing and helps. You don't need to be this high if you want to still use the bead .
-
I don't like blotting out the target /bird with the barrel it seems un natural to loose sight at the point of trigger pull . If you raise the cheek piece of your gun say 10 mm this will raise your eye line down onto the bead and provide u with enough barrel / eye angle Raised cheek piece. For my red dot But just a 10 mm pad on the stock will be enough to get you up so u look down a touch on to the bead .
-
No .i just set the red dot up the same way I would set up a scope on a rifle . Big sheet of card and a large dot in the centre..and shoot at it .see where the centre of the pattern is . (Best done aboit 20 yds ) and adjust the dot with the windage/elevation turrets and shoot again till you find your hitting the dot spot on.
-
Is that on a 12 b .? Cos obviously the same choke on a 20bwill be tighter. I find it easy to miss a bird coming straight in around 15 yds .the pattern is about 12 inches wide and easy to put just above /low or to the side of the bird .I try to pull the trigger when the bird is about 25 -30 yds as the pattern has opened up enough . Not trying to teach u to suck eggs mate .but accuracy really is the key to these guns.
-
What you have to remember is they shoot a pretty right pattern Mine has a modified choke .So accuracy has to be spot on . It's no good just wafting the barrel in the general direction of the bird . (Like a 12 b and an open choke. ) and expecting to hit it .You have to practice on paper and clays to get the sight picture correct . As said before. A red dot /ring helps a lot. I too find crossers much easier than birds flying towards or away from me .
