DTL first timer

[ips]

the 24g is another minefield john, and neither of us want to let that genie out the bottle again 

Anyway I have said my bit and I will leave it at that (cant find a thumbs up thing so insert one here)

Do I need to use 24gm loads at the All Round in ABT/DTL/Skeet phases?

..

however we all remember the times when even full wouldn't break em at nutty  :frown:

True.  No guarantee of a break, even when stood over them with sledgehammer. 

The gun I was using at that time was a Browning at Full and Full which may of helped 

Although not a Nutty in those days, I moved to  Perazzi at 1/2 & full and never noticed any difference in quality of breaks.

No doug you need 28g for dtl and abt. 24g is only for OT

Phew, I was worried there

 

[Deershooter]

I wouldn't use anything other than 3/4 at single barrel

You would not notice

It's been my experience as well that regardless of gun/choke those I miss all seem unharmed.

You'll be pleased to know that after I arrived at the ABT layout and took one look at the targets I screwed 3/4 and full in to the gun! 

Damn. They don't hang about. I ended up on 16/25 for the ABT and 21/25 on the DTL.
