3/4oz 12ga

[Harold Pickens]

I am not a trap shooter, but I shot with my neighbor at the Lewis Wetzel gun club in Wheeling Wv on Saturday. I brought my 16 ga Rizzini with several boxes of reloads including some 7/8 oz loads with the DR 16 wad. All I can say is I cant wait to reload a bunch more. The difference is like comparing a kiss on the cheek to a slap-- going to get a 3/4 oz bar and try those also.
One of the guys had just loaded 3/4 oz with red dot and the CB oo175 wad. He gave me a box to shoot thru my Francotte 12 and I was so impressed. HE also let me shoot some thru his gas Beretta and it was like shooting a 22. The birds were breaking nicely with this load and it has certainly made me a believer in these light loads.
