Your very right Wirehunt ,the next shell could split the barrel its full length due to excess pressure.The guy holding it could very likely end up in A & E. Quite scarey ,I wouldn't want to be responsible .

I have a few primers for a shotgun laying around, What if I cut and old shell and just put the half shell with only the primer in, Im gonna do it to my brother just have it in my pocket till I get the chance
the wad is just behind the shot pushing it , if theres no shot it must go faster and exit better , be worried if it didnt exit with no shot because with shot it is more likely to get stuck isnt it?
just fired 2 rounds out back at midget height gun level , with shot wad goes 20m, without shot goes 24m
all of them without?
I generally use english/european 3"no 2&3 32gm loads for all birds in the duck season. have same in 2 3/4"as well as a backup."Hull/Eley"brands
I am just now adopting a more calculated aproach to touching the bang lever after developing a very healthy skybusting tendency .
yes it helps to be able to estimate range and call the shot.however the opposite is also true.As gadgetman will testify,euthanasia of a wee mallard hen (running through chow mollier crop) with a 3"eley hi power load at 6'range aint pretty.the laconic final score-"2birds down 1 &1/2 to bring home".paradise generally tolerate goose loads ok in medium range.
shootin cobber who packs a remington 20g drops them consistently with 3"loads.copper plated shot.
do not use tungsten iron in any tightly choked gun try the 2 3/4 inch gamebore 30 gram steel loads in 3 shot. mate was creaming everything with them last year.
actually i mostly use a 30 gram load of 5,s or 6,s for the first couple in the mag the 3 inchers are mainly there for flaring geese but they handle flaring parries just as well as long as they,re out a bit.:thumbsup:Quote:
