FalconFN Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 If you get stuck Mr Falcon then I have a FIAS OU sporterised Trap choked at SK & 1/4 that you are welcome to use to your hearts content-its a high rib Medalist by any other name and just sits in my cabinet gathering dust.That is tremendously kind offer, but fingers crossed the gun I've bought will be useable. I'm using my (your old) 16g, it's still my only gun, but the carts are a little limited and quite pricey for everyday use so I took a punt on a rough and ready 12g OU (I actually got 2 shotguns, a sxs and ou, for £40) to use as a hide gun. Thanks again, and enjoy your new one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (I actually got 2 shotguns, a sxs and ou, for £40) Damn me! I've heard of getting a 100 cartridges free with a new gun but never a gun free with 100 cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I reckon if you keep the range somewhere around 30-40 yards with the correct shot ie 7 or 6 then you will be bang on the mark for hide work. As already said anything past this is getting silly and 70 yards is just pure luck with open chokes and mostly luck with full chokes as the shot size increases so the pattern density goes down.

Andra Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I cannot belive George Digweed handicaps himself by shooting extra full in both barrels . Sometimes he swaps barrels to 3/8 & 5/8 for closer clays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B391 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Just read all of these posts and I am now at a loss to what choke to use in my Beretta 391 for sporting. I usually use the Beretta **** which should be a 1/4 or possibly IC !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use the Beretta **** which should be a 1/4 or possibly IC !! You cannot go to far wrong with 1/4 for most sporting birds. All of my O/U shooting has been with either my skeet which is cylinder and 1/4 or spsp which is bored 1/4 1/4, using #8 fibres. The Maxus semi-auto I have just bought will be fitted with either the 1/4 or an extended 3/8 for its first outing next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
