Strength of Guns

My competion loads are heavy loads. The difference between high gun and 2nd is usually settled by 1 or 2 rocks. Heavy loads break more targets for me. My casual SC loads are lighter. I like using Rem sp wads and polywad spredders. Gives you normal shot sizes and room for the spreader. Works great with tight choked parkers. Dave

I shot a lot of ATA trap in the 80's and 90's and felt the same way. However it is interesting to note that a more difficult game, Bunker/Olympic/International trap is now shot with 24 gram loads. Int'l shooters have had to steadily decrease the payload from 1 1/4 ounce to 7/8 ounce and overall scores have gone up.
