    Cartridge testing - how to really know...

    The simple answer to your original question is, buy 1,000 Gamebore White Gold 8's and just shoot them. Consistency in shooting comes from practice and learning the idiosyncrasies not just of the gun but also the cartridge and the combination of the two. I find I shoot better with a 7 1/2 shot...

    Always a hot topic

    All very sensible advice, the ONLY time I have found it necessary to change is either due to availability or in some cases where the manufacturer made a change to the cartridge - usually they change the powder and this can sometimes affect the felt recoil. Express did with the Supers, Eley did...

    MK38 as first gun - advice please!!

    Just to add some points, all my fixed choked MK38's were taken out to 22 thou both barrels (slightly tight half choke) Bill Blacker did the work and he also lengthened the forcing cones. Ask ShaunMK38 what the kills were like, most people thought I was shooting 3/4 to full choke. My multi choke...

    Pet Hates!

    Wow with so many pet hates its a wonder any of us actually go to a shoot to enjoy it  :D Although I do agree with the vast majority of them, a lot of the pet hates are behavioural for me, how hard is it to put cartridges in the bin? How hard is it to wait until the shooter has finished...

    MK38 as first gun - advice please!!

    MK38's are work horses, get the right one and have it set up properly and it wont let you down. Currently have a multi choked MK38 sporter, it is a little nose heavy so might balance it or I might get another one that is fixed choked and set them up identically.

    perazzi mx 2000s &krieghoff k80 supersport & blasr f3 vantage

    This is like comparing apples, bananas and grapefruit! All three are very individual and it would depend entirely on what you normally like in a gun. I have never tried a Blaser but have shot a K80 and MX2000S. My personal take was the Kreighoff was horrible and the Perazzi was very fast in the...

    MK38 as first gun - advice please!!

    Sorry Shaun, had to use it for a trade in... Actually regret selling that gun, have another MK38 in a Sporter variety now, multi choked, not what I usually go for but thought I would give it a go. This one is nose heavy and I will probably add some weight to the stock at some point to balance it...

    Pain in the neck.

    Interesting topic this one, it demonstrates how GP's and some Physios deal with neck/shoulder pain in various ways. Having gone through this myself I know how frustrating it can be and also how long it can take to get on top of. In my case my neck pain was being caused by 2 things, acute RSI...

    Class Entry Choice

    Simple answer is to go 'birds only' and then you are shooting for fun and not worrying about what class you might or might not win ;-)

    New Gun, which slip?

    Depends, I always used the nylon style slips with lambs wool inside, recently got a leather slip, much better at keeping the bang stick dry and offers better protection, a bit heavy but not an over burden!
