Long forcing cones first and secondly backbored barrels do help , especially in recoil reduction and patterns. My experience says that after lengthening the forcing cones on a browning ultra xtr , the gun was definitely improved , especially in the recoil department. John

I totally agree Salopian. My experience says that home-loaded / reloaded shells can be as accurate or more as commercial made ones. The things that I have seen measuring top-of-the-line commercial brand shells are beyond what one would expect. Powder differences of over 0,10 grams , wads not...

I usually load about 6 boxes / hour in my MEC machines , and they are not progressive. Progressive machines are not very accurate in powder measurements , especially with european powders. I mainly use Nobel Sport , Baschieri Pellagri and gualandi powders and components. My cost /box with new...

Well , I have been loading and re-loading for about 4 years now in 12 and 20 bore , using MEC loaders and Italian components and powders. I usually load for game shooting and few shells for clays , especially for close quarters work with BIOR wads and small shot. In Greece we shoot under...

Fiocchi Blue and black are powders made by Baschieri Pellagri for fiocchi and are very similar (if not the same) to B&P 's F2 and MB powders. Modified single base propellants with around 10% nitroglycerin. They are very good and give good velocities with moderate recoil (as do all B&P...

Well  , I just  love them -especially Berettas! I have four , a Beretta Urika Camo , a Beretta Greystone , a Beretta 391 urika2 20 gauge and a Beretta 303 Gold 20gauge. I use all of them for hunting depending on the game.

Well , I started shooting when I was 33 years old , I am now 42 and still improving  - I believe i have not reached my peak performance yet. It's  wonderful sport ,  that  has given me a lot of great memories and some very good friends.

Had the same problem some years ago. After a lot of visits to doctors , i cured it with a combination of a neoprene elbow support , some vitamins (B1 , B6 , B12) , rest and a pad under my elbow while I'm using the PC at work.

if we're talking about a rubber pad , it's a piece of cake to do it on your own. A grinder , some grinding paper and a little tape is all you need. I tried it for the first time a couple of months ago and it's really nothing

Has anyone used Clever Mirage shells? I am talking about T2 Competition and Pro Extra shells. I would appreciate any input on performance and quality. Thanks , Yiannis

A friend shoots a Perugini Visini Maestro with a high rib with very good results...but for me it has always been flat rib , i get very disoriented . Tried them in Double Trap and seem to work there but not in anything else for me .

Shot one last Friday on an  thrush hunt ...tricky shot  and pretty fast, but she fell to my 20 gauge Beretta 303... ;)

What would I show to a Beginner ? I would begin with a good stance and mount , move on to focusing on the Bird and then teach him swing through and pull away. That should get him started in the right way.

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome guys , shooting here is very much affected by the recession , very few people continue shooting on a regular basis and its a pity because we just started sporting disciplines here seriously. We mainly shoot COMPAK ,due to the lack of suitable shooting grounds...

Hi everyone , my name is Yiannis and I live in Athens , Greece. I Shoot COMPAK and FITASC sporting and Olympic Trap and use a Beretta DT-10 and a Browning Ultra XTR. This forum is a great place to exchange ideas and experiences about our favorite sport and I hope I can contribute in any way...
