Tarlair Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I bought one a couple of weeks ago as a "knock about" gun and have used it a couple of times so far. I really like it. This is the first semi I have had but am quite impressed. As to the 28 grams, I cannot answer that one as the stock of cartridges I have are 32 gram sixes. They cycle fine but are nearly finished. I have just bought some 28 grams and will be trying them out this weekend, weather permiting. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarlair Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 For Mossy835 and anyone else who is interested. "Does the Midland semi auto cycle 28g cartridges?" Yes but very poorly. I went out on Sunday but we had gale force winds up here and no grain has been cut on any of my permissions yet. To get a shot and try to answer the above question I put out the magnet and a dozen shell decoys on a recently cut silage field next to a small clump of trees. Action was not thick and fast but I did manage 12 ferals in a couple of hours. This could have been a good few more if the second shell hadn't managed to stick every other time. On a few occassions I got off two shots and once I even got all three but more often than not there was a jam. Having previously used the 32g shells, there was no problems at all. From this experience, I have had the age old lesson reinforced - Always feed your gun with what it likes. From now on, the 28's will be kept for my Browning o/u. If you want a gun for light loads, don't buy the Midland. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madjocksco Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) I use one of these, Midland demon, walnut , with flush and extended chokes. never had an issue with cycling, i use it for clay shooting only. i use 7.5 28gr loads of both plastic and fiber. only cart ive had problems with is gamebore whitegolds, these jam all the time, im currently using , kent velocity fibres and not a single jam, also use express english sporting plastic, no jams. i have used in the past, blue diamonds, no issue with them, eley blues, both plastic and fibre, no issues. comp x , eley first plastics are fine, but fibre tend to be 1 in every 3 jam. to be honest i can fault the gun, pick it up as new, for £250 , it has only had 25 shells through it. all in all a great cheap gun, and the wood looks great..
