Started shooting skeet with 1-1/8 oz commercial #9 shells at 1145 FPS. Now that I am reloading, I see recipes for 1090 FPS all the way to 1300 FPS.
I am dropping down to 1 ounce #9 because that should be easier on my shoulder. Should I reload for a particular velocity for skeet and standardize to get used to it for establishing proper leads?
Also, I’m going to try #7-1/2 shot for sporting clays. I understand they prefer higher velocities for the greater distance.
Just trying to learn.
Started with Green Dot. Then Red Dot. Then Clays. Then 700x.
