As I said Lloyd I am not an expert or a great shot for that matter. There are plenty of good shooters on here who are and will have their own ideas. What I would add though if a shooter feels confident with a particular load and gun choice then it would be madness to say hey this guy says X is...

As some further down have said you can miss with any amount of lead you have BUT only a fool would fail to recognise that as with all things there has to be a balance. If people say 24g is enough for top shots they are probably right but I was talking with an Olympic medalist and world champion...

Really any 76cm shotgun in 12 G I am not going to specify a make ... opens up a can. The thing is if you go for some light weight gun you will get battered to bits with recoil... man up you need a gun near 4kg. Or you can go light on the gun and shoot a girly 21g load... only kidding it may be...

This I think is the problem when you consider to make just a thousand you need 24kg by the time you add the cost of primers, powder and then wads and factor in a press... I think I will stick with a decent manufacturer cartridge also there is the added inconvenience that they cannot be used in...

I get the for pleasure bit but regardless you will still need 24 or 28kg to make the shells.. the mass is the same it is the density that is different. I would not even know where I could buy the stuff to be honest.

This thread had me thinking for a moment then I did a quick recce of the ingredients required... got to 28kg of lead shot for only one thousand shells and thought ... I won't bother... I ask where the hell do you go for lead shot? If it has to be delivered then that cost alone is going to tip...

I don't know if you have access to this website  www.naturabuy.fr/PRESSE-A-CARTOUCHE-CALIBRE-12-item-3381789.html  I think you could get what you need there the dealer ships internationally .

Thing about the top moto gp racers today is the safety of the sport has become so good it is very unusual for competitors to get really bad injuries these days. I am not in anyway diminishing the danger they face but it is not unusual to see these moto gp boys step off at speeds in excess of 150...

Pfft! Jorge Lorenzo wrestled a 240 hp Yamaha moto gp bike to a 5th place finish 36 hrs after he broke his collarbone into three pieces during practice for the Dutch TT at Assen in 2013 rubbed him down with a damp rag and he was good to go  :lol:

I don't think so Will that 24 cases claim has been outed as completely false. The 24 cases is only the government confirmed number there are according to most epidemiologists many more unconfirmed cases in London which are not in the government figure. It is a tough situation loosening the...

I am heart sorry for those who have lost loved ones through this terrible virus it has been tragic... and it has not finished yet by a long way! I am considering shooting at the moment whether just to pack it in altogether or whether to just shoot practice rounds. I love shooting in the big...

Death to others and for many who have survived a life ruined by it because their vitals have been so badly damaged. Shooting is an old codgers game in the main and these are the very people most at risk anybody over mid fifties is taking an enormous extra risk. I am going out on Saturday just to...

Our club reopens on Saturday. Club members only and full social distancing measures implemented face masks and liberal amounts of cleansing gel . Only 3 shooters on a line. I suppose this is one advantage of being a members run club as there are only 30 or so members and it is unlikely everybody...

Understandable hundreds of people are walking around some of those shops and you are exposed to them. One thing about the appliances are the decontaminated by the owners before you work on them? If I arrived at a job and found a mess I would just put the tools back in the bag and leave... unless...

No argument from me about any of that.  As you say it is an individual choice to go out and do things. The real problem is that it is not an individual choice to pass on the virus people do that unknowingly. 

Some would rather not " wake up and smell the coffee". In the UK the gov deaths figure is 28k or so but the actual figure is much higher there are at present 50K more people died over the period than normal so the actual figure for the number of deaths due to this virus is much much higher than...

I do not live in the UK so it does not affect me. Take care. enjoy but, sadly, expect a sharp rise in Covid 19 cases in the early autumn. edit This of course will not be down to shooting... just the fact that this virus is not going to suddenly disappear and there are hundreds of people out...

Clearly this garment is not high on your agenda. Italy is a land where style and function are very important and they will be seen there no doubt. However lets be honest here shooting is a sport where serious competitors will spend €250+ for a thousand cartridges €340 for a shooting vest is...

Clearly you are not understanding why they have one side with a sleeve... it is not rocket science and actually a good idea ! ... bt nothing to do with the weather or season.

Not saying I would buy one BUT it is wrong to say it will make not a jot of difference to shooting. If you are more comfortable wearing a certain fit of vest then you will be able to concentrate better on the job of breaking clays... you are absolutely right is is a mind thing and if you can get...
