diddy Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Been changing shims in my semi does this look ok to you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nice spread but very high if you aimed at the centre of target. Could easily shoot over your target/quarry. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 i normally place bead under the quarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 second plate i done maybe more suited as a few more strikes below the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebarrels Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Still looks too high to me mate,i reckon a fair bit of shot has gone over the top of the plate BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 You need to look for a 60/40 split 60%higher than the aiming mark 40% below Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Still looks too high to me mate,i reckon a fair bit of shot has gone over the top of the plate BB I agree , I would want it shooting flatter than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 That's to high for my liking I'd be lowering that comb what distance did you shoot from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecash Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) if your gun fit is bang on and you are sighting correctly, then either you aren't keeping the gun still or the gun is not pointing where you think it should. ask welsh warrior he beat me to it whilst i was making a brew Edited August 4, 2014 by joecash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 To my old eyes, the wad hole cutting the vertical line between sector 16 and 5 at Post #4 needs to be cutting the same vertical line approximately between the figures 1 and 2 bringing the pattern down with it. As you say you place the bead under the quarry that, to me, looks as though the pattern would then centre on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Looks too high so you need to de-shim a touch. Incidentally the patterns look too good spread wise, were the pics taken after you'd fired twice? What shot size / load did you test with ?

diddy Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 both were from 25 yards using game bore velocity 28g 7s How would i drop the pattern a bit with the below chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Tried SX ASX A (to far over to the right) SX BSX B (bit high) SX CSX C (bit high) Tempeted to try SC BSX A however manual says to ensure correct drop always match locking plates and shims that have same letters.

Scully Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Personally I would want it a tad lower, but left at that at least it means you wont necessarily have to blot out those crossers and springing teal should be no problem. Did you try shooting a pattern plate with both gun up and gun down, pulling the trigger on the latter as soon as you acquire the target as you would from a stand? If so were the results the same?

welshwarrior Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 If you have chance try and refire at 16yrds it makes the adjustments easier but from that table (hard to read on the phone) you appear to have the lowest drop fitted. Is the LOP right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 try at 16, at distance ie, 40+ yards that pattern will be very high, probbly the bottom of the pattern would be at the very top of the board..... good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 reading the american forums the C shim that is fitted is the lowest it will go :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnphilip Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 try this test i belive this is the first test anyone should do before they go out to 30 yards ok set up a big target move back 15 yards dry mount a couple of times mon now do this load gun close eyes , bring up the the gun mounted as you would do normaly . this is the very important bit DO NOT MOVE THE STOCK were it fits into your shoulder open eyes now move just the front of the gun to the target and fire .if the gun is out you will see were it is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 could i remove the C shim and see where it patterns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Have you shot the gun at moving targets yet ? Edited August 5, 2014 by Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Fit is only relative to the mount. Guns shoot different when aimed or just mounted, cant say were you will shoot without taking this into account. How the gun is then adjusted depends on use / preference.

ChrisAsh Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Ask a friend to shoot a couple of patterns and see what they get, a easy way to see if its you or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diddy Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I've just combined shim B with shim C apparently this will give a greater drop according to google research only one way to find out is another pattern plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
