One other thing that might be worth mentioning is you want to keep the speed of what you practice with close to what you shoot in competition. In other words, you don’t want to practice with a 1325 fps 7/8 load and compete with an 1145 fps 1 1/8 ounce load. I often practice singles with 1200 fps 7/8 or 1 ounce loads and then compete with the 1145 fps 1 1/8’s.

John is exactly correct Bob. Trap Shooting in my humble opinion is a game of consistency. The same goes for your loads...............I personally prefer shooting the same shells in practice as well as competitively. I hope you do well with your SBT. They are fantastic guns.

Bobby
I can’t thank you enough!
The gun is great and one that will get passed down to one of my boys.
I was not able, so far to pick up some of the loads you mentioned, however I was able to get the ones mentioned in previous post.
I was hoping to try them out this past Sunday however an unexpected trip to the ER messed up the week end.
Hopefully I will be able to try out a few different loads next Sunday or Thursday.

Beautiful SBT!

I shoot 1oz/1180-1200 fps for trap and find them nice and soft on the shoulder. Recently I tried some Rio Evo 24gm training loads. They have a published MV of 1360fps. I shot two boxes through my Perazzi TMS that wears a PFS stock. They barely moved the recoil reducer. I could feel maybe half the normal travel compared to a 1oz 1200fps load. Then I switched guns and ran two boxes through my Model 12 Pigeon Grade Trap and there was ZERO difference in felt recoil between it and my TMS. If you can get them in your area they may be worth trying in your SBT. They were extremely soft shooting and absolutely inkballed targets.
