Skeet Gun |

Further to my other post in this section regarding my Miroku 800 |
|
26" [skeet and skeet] I don't think I can bring myself to change |
|
this wee gun. I currently use 32g No. 6's - would a change to |
|
5's 32g make much of a difference for reaching out a bit |
|
further? |

The only thing limiting your range regards you choke is pattern |
|
density. My moving to a #5 of the same load ie 32gm you are |
|
further decreasing the number of pellets in you pattern and |
|
creating more "gaps" as such. Depending what you shooting of |
|
course you should seriously consider moving to a size 7 in 32gm. |
|
If its pigeons then a 28gm 7 1/2 is more than capable of clean |
|
kills to 40 yards. If you wish to stick with larger shot sizes |
|
for whatever reason then increase the load to 34gm or 36 if you |
|
can stick the recoil. I shoot almost everything with 1/4 choke |
|
which is only 1 step (5 thousands of an inch) tighter than |
|
skeet. You can make any gun perform with the right shell. What |
|
are you wishing to shoot with it. |

|
There are lots of pheasants on the lands I shoot and I just |
|
thought the heavier shells would have a bit more stopping power |
|
- I take your point though regarding pattern density. |

I shot a 3800SW Skeet gun for everything in the fields for two |
|
years about three years ago and only it was soo good a boy |
|
pressured me into selling it hence my green/blue Sportin Clays, |
|
I remember shootin 32grm Diana SuperSpeed 6's from pigeons & |
|
woodcock to ducks & pheasants and it worked perfectly for me and |
|
it was Skeet & Skeet choked. |
