Maybe I'll share my grouse coverts with him some day and show him, first hand, the error of his ways.  |
I'd really like that Tom. I agree that the smell of a freshly fired paper shell is right up there with the scent of Hoppe's #9. But if I'm going to shoot 1oz. of anything it will be out of a 12ga. I've found the 3/4oz. load in a 16ga. gets the job done for me but I can appreciate you loving that 1oz. load. It's a classic load for that gauge
I also just noticed you also live in Maryland. Allow me to extend an invitation to shoot some clays, and birds in season, at a club I belong to in Northern Balto. Co. or at any other club convenient to you. I bet I could make a real smallbore (20, 28) shooter out of you with just a little work.
It would be nice to put a face with a name.
