Charlie, I have seen several Claybrough's that had open chokes, but were jug choked. Is your gun jug choked? My B. Norman hammer 10ga has open choke on the right barrel and is devastating on clay birds out to 40 yards. I just can't figure out how those old open choke guns shoot such great patterns at middle distances.

theo i honestly cant answer your question i dont know if its jugged choked or not...but i do know its more open than my other tens...i believe its the 1 ounce load that truly makes the gun shoot good paterns in fact this load has outshot all of my loads as far as putting more shot in the can...i really like these old claybrough guns.... charlie

In the old muzzleloading days of live pigeon shooting, before chokes were invented, they would use less shot - 1oz in the 10ga - to tighten up their patterns. The reason why is, the very short shot column means lessshot deformation in the bottom layers. Also less powder to keep pressures down mean the same thing. A high pressure means the shot started more violent and in turn more shot deformation. A buddy shoots sporting clays at our club with a Lefever and no chokes. Some birds are 40yds and by useing 7/8oz of shot at 1100FPS [ low pressure ] in a 12ga he shoots real good scores. By doing the above almost all the shot is staying nice and round and you're not getting flyers, hence great patterns and in effect increasing your choke. Paul

Are you guys shooting and eating gray squirrels? I've got zillions of them around here in Central Oregon. Some are very fat.
Do you put them in a stew? I am shooting an old English double muzzle loader. No choke whatsoever. ligher loads, tighter patterns, eh? I'll try it. |
