hatsanmad Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Been loading some lead recently. Found some good data using longshot and 32gram load of 5s. I test fired them on paper and pattern perfectly in my gun. My mate offerd to try them on some driven pheasant on the syndicate i beat on and after the first drive he was grinning like a chesire cat. He said the first two shots he missed to much leed turns out they are very fast watched him fold i nice cock bird at least 55 yard up. So im made up with this load. Thanks for everyones help and advice and tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakapiken Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Longshot is fun. A huge BANG. I have shot some real high crows and a lot of grouse with 32 g load. What wad and how much powder Did you use? J.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakapiken Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have chonographed my load to 1558 fps. Still patterns ok. Super G and z2m wads. Have not tried the vzero wads.... Do you Get a clean burn/ clean barrel with such low pressure? I find Longshot to be a real dirty powder with low pressure loads.. Regards J.A.
