Dave stenning Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi Has anyone got for sale 12-20 bore reducers, the sleeves for firing a 20 bore cartridge through a 12 bore?

mossy835 Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 i bought the full set of them in the states, when over they years ago and they are very good pattern on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 What would be any advantage in using them? The weight of the gun is the same. The cartridges are more expensive. Why not just use a lighter weight shot charge 12 gauge cartridge? The pattern would be better because of the shot column width to length ratio. This discussion goes right back donks ago to when Gough Thomas used to expound about the benefits of light loads of #7 through open bored chokes and the shot column width to length ratio.

Was chatting to a bloke last Sunday, he was telling me about a skeet comp where they shoot 12,20,28 and 410. He mentioned tubes but I thought he meant the full length jobbies, maybe not.

oldypigeonpopper Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 hello, am in the process of having one made from 12 guage to 410 for the use in a bsa single barrel with full choke, i will disinguage the ejector, i used one many years ago in an old coey for short range rabbit shooting so you had the choice of either guage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
