Hi Guys I am running in to a problem that I dont know how to fix, I got myself involded into Trap Shooting: and at times I do this circle thing at the target just as I am pulling the trigger, I am a right handed shooter with Right eye dominance and I shoot with both eyes open. I was told by a...

Everyone have a very Merry Christmas from Illinois

Hi oneounceload, yes I am weighing my powder, i have a Redding Master powder Scale that I use, It only weigh's in grains, and only weigh's up to 500 grain.I think that 1 1/8oz is over that? My grandfather told me that 1oz is 437.5 grains but we have not converted 1 1/8 yet.

I am using all the correct stuff for my recipe, I also have a Lee Load All-2 that I have been using up to this point and everything has worked correctly. I don't have a way of weighing the shot that is being dropped by my Texan right now, but when I compare what I can see of the wad after the...

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.:D My Grandpa gave me a Texan Re-loader (progressive)the other day, and i started using it and noticed that the crimps were not that great, It leave's a hole in the center of the crimp to where i can see the shot slightly. He tells me that this re-loader is about 40...

I went shooting again this morning and shot 3 boxes of 1oz loads and 3 boxes of 7/8oz loads, all was shot from the 24 yard line, that's where my team usually gets dropped back to for our hdcp. With the 1oz loads I shot: 24,23,24 With the 7/8 loads I shot: 17,18,16 Sure seems like a big change...

I would like to thank all three of you for the information,you guys were a lot of help :D I tried the the 1oz loads today at the field and shot just great.and I notice right away there was less recoil. I would really like to try the 7/8oz load tomorrow but all I can find is recipe's that show...

Some of the best times i had as a kid, and now spend with taking my kids is going squirrel hunting. I have a old Marlin 22 mag with a 7 shot clip and use a 3x9 scope,I always just go for a nice and clean head shoot. with my scope it works great every time.

Hello everyone I belong to a gun club that only allows 3-dram's max shells to be used for trap shooting, I have been reloading my own 2 3/4 AA-shells for about a month now and I have noticed while looking in to some recipes that when using 19 grains of red dot gives me 1200fps with a 1 1/8oz...

So if I understand this correctly: if you have a Mossberg 500 or a 500A you have a 12 gauge, 500B would be a 16 gauge, 500C would be a 20gauge. What would a 500AB be then? I own one and wondered what the AB stood for?

I have never tried any loads lighter than 1 1/8oz, does it make much of a difference hitting they clays with lets say a 7/8 load, i know that's quite a bit difference in the shot count?:what:

I went trap shooting a couple months ago with a friend of mine; and now I'm totally hooked. I acquired a nice 12ga Italian gun (Gamba O/U); and recently started reloading my own AA shells; I'm loading 1150fps (2 3/4 Dram) with 1 1/8oz loads, 8 shot. I have been using this recipe for the 16yard...

Hey Guys, I would like to thank everyone of you for all you help and feed back, its been a lot of help! I gave it a try today at the range. I used 1180fps #8's at the 16 yards line and scored a 22 the 1st time and then a 24 the second time. I then moved back to the 24 yard line for my hdcp and...

Thanks oneounceload, At my field we are only permitted to use 1200fps max (3Dram) but I get what your saying, I do use 1 1/8 shot right now, but you are saying I should try dropping down to 1oz ? (less shot) I'm new to trap shooting and only have been doing it for a little less than two months...

I was given some advice from another shooter at my Trap Range the other day, and wanted to get all of your opinions, I shoot 12 gauge 2 3/4 Winchester 3 Dram 8 shot at the 16 yard through to the 21 yard line then switch to a 3 dram 7 1/2 shot from the 22 yard line on back.I shoot pretty...
