Spud dog Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 As above, only done once before ages ago. Do 9 1/2 shot make that much difference to 7 1/2? I was thinking if i'm going to have a do I might as well get the right tools. Any advice much appreciated. Also what most favourite carts.

Gordon R Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would use far more Skeet shells - at Sporting - but they aren't that common. All the cheap shells in the North West are trap shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langlands Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I use Hull CompX 21gram in 9s for Olympic Skeet (even in competition); they have never missed, unlike the guy who loads them. They let you shoot the second bird very quickly and don't knock the **** out of you if you shoot a lot of targets. A few of the better shots are using these for practice and then switching to 24g for the 'main event' They cost around £145 a 1000. Once you get used to these, you will not go back.

hillmouse Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 9's or 9-5's will give better breaks. Personally I use 24 grams for just about everything these days and mostly in a fibre wad. The advantages of a lighter load and less recoil far outweigh the lower pellet count. If they can shoot OT with a 24 gram load then most things are possible. As with any choke, pellet size or load weight thread, the main thing to remember is none of it matters if you are putting it in the wrong place.
