2012 Vintage Cup

Larry;
Thanks for the info. I'm glad you like the 7/8oz load as I also feel that lighter payloads give better patterns and are easier on you and the gun. Let me know when you are ready to move up to the 3/4oz stuff. They are truly amazing in performance.

I used a 32" DHE that's full/full+ with the Remington STS light, they're 1 1/8oz. 1145 fps. It can be a challange for the close targets but it's great for the long reach, and I think there were more long shots than close ones. My score wasn't great, but it's not the guns fault. Next time I think a little warm up at the 5 stand before the sporting clays would help me out a bit.

In the American Classics, which is what the Parker/Fox Challenge was scored, I shot my CHE 12 scattergun. I say scattergun because it was built with 30 inch Titanics but now is a 26 inch gun on a 2 frame. So its cylinder all around. Great for skeet but not so hot for that Addieville course.
To help me around I had a pocketful of different loads- B&P 7/8oz x #8.5, Estate 1 1/8 x #9 and Sellier 7/8oz x #8. Next time i will use a DHE 30inch full/full and mix in some of the RST spreader loads. Devinne who shot a 98 for Cup and 49 for American Classics was a constant spreader user.

I shot my 10 bore O grade hammer with 32 inch BBLS until the right hammer screw was lost. Fjellene loaned me a gun but I cant shoot like him no way no how. Used RST #8 x 1 1/8oz exclusively.

OK, who's going to be the first to try 1/2 oz loads

Not moi. Based on my scores I need MORE shot, not less.
