Powder

[BRDHNTR]

I bought some Longshot and loaded a few "light" test loads. Still too hot in my 20 ga guns. A magnum powder for sure. Can't use this powder and it will go away this coming weekend at the club.
Much prefer 20/28.

I’m not disagreeing with the less pressure/velocity thing but I damn sure like the heavy RST and RIO 1 1/4 1300-1360 FPS loads . When I shoot those it’ll be 30-60 shots in a day and to me they’re not so bad . But then I don’t think a thirty bird 8 gauge event shooting 1 1/2 ounces is so bad either .

Craig, there is no recoil in box birds.

There’s no recoil in anything until the end of the day when you might have a slight headache .

I know that Craig is shooting those big loads at tower pheasants and box and thrown pigeons. Those are the loads that I would also prefer for those targets. Craig didn't specify his targets, only the number of shells shot in a day. I don't think it was sporting clays.

I don’t shoot pigeon loads at tower shoots . All my pigeon loads are 7 1/2’s I prefer 6’s at tower shoots . I did however shoot pigeon loads at quail boxbirds this past January . I thought boxbird quail were going to be chip shots . Turns out I was quite wrong .

Yup, Craig. Box quail are hard to hit but not hard to kill.
