Shot clays with mine today

You're a lucky man to have some SR-7625. I will be shooting my NH Parker using ITX-original-10 #2 shot this fall myself. I ended up picking a recipe out the ITX manual using 44gr's blue dot & 1 3/8oz ITX #2

I shot some of these this week. I think they are going to be deadly on sandhill cranes this fall.

Hi Paul, what pressure and velocity is this load? Have you patterned it?

Last year was my rookie year with my EH on geese. Love it. Got three. It's a stitch to shoot. Lots of grins. I'll try to post a picture or two. I'm not good at that.

Yep Add me to your list, a great Wildfowling piece, use it on the ducks and Geese and sometimes I have a bash on the clays.

The ITX manual states the load is supposed to be 1200fps @ 7300psi. I haven't extensively pattern tested the load, but I did shoot a 30"x30" piece of cardboard at 40 yards with it the other day. I counted 125 pellet hits out of the approximately 145 pellets in the load. I'm sure it will be effective on the larger fowl like cranes & geese.

i would say that your gun is a full choke throwing them kinds of patterns..the short ten is good on anything flying and most animals that walk.....steve glad you fellas like the short ten too...but i guess this round was used first by you fellows on the other side of the pond...charlie

I shoot a grade 3 lifter with 28" factory length barrels. Fabulous gun. If truth be told...the 10 bore is the magic gauge. The old timers knew this very well. Then someone said a hunting double needed to be light. What a crock! Once you shoot a 10 you won't want to shoot anything else. Just my opinion of course.

I took my grade 2 10ga hammer gun to a pheasant preserve here in Alaska and had a ball. I let my friend Trigg try it. He had never shot a 10ga, and maybe not a hammer gun, and dusted a pheasant with the first shot. It seemed almost too easy to hit pheasants with that gun.

That has been my experience exactly!
