eccles Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Went out this morning after the crows. Put up the hide yesterday for this morning. Put out the deeks 9 full body and 6 shells. Thought i'd try out the Berretta auto 303 secon hand i picked up last weekend. Got in the hide could not get the cartridges in mag,some bad words followed i can tell you. Back to the house, luck only 5 mins away to pick up my Berretta 687 EELL. Back to the hide few crows flying about by now. They started to come in 1 and 2 that how i like them anyway. Shot a good few then added to deeks, They kept coming slowly. Had some great shooting all angle LR RL from front and behind. Picked up 47 and 4 dropped over the other end of field could not be bothered to go and get them. Cartridge Trust Super Halcon no 6 30g and 7.5 trap. Its the second time iv'e used these carts and IMHO very good clean kills. Killed some high one's and far. Choke in Gun 1/4 1/2 Caller used none hardly ever use one.

eccles Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Good shooting mate - what's up with the auto? It won't keep cartridge in tube,once you release button cartridge jumps up under loaded one. It will go back on thursday to shop could fix it myself but why should i. I'll get something off him for my trouble. Had every model of Berretta auto first 1 that has broken down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
