Beats why they didn't just leave things alone! I have shot some 24grm sheels that had a kick like a 28grm or even a 32grm! I can't remember which ones they were,but I think they were Maionchi or Fiocchi,) don't think they are the right spellings though) :frown:les
I dont recall noticing much difference when we changed to 28 apart from recoil that is, however i suppose there is a limit as to how low you can go. Baffles me why 24 isnt the regulation in all trap disciplines ? Would certainly make things easier all round.
Can you tell me which brands of 28gm shell have the same felt recoil as I've tried most of them with no success. Unless they are loaded with less powder they are going to recoil more. You posted earlier mentioning DTL 300's they used to be a soft shell to shoot years ago but on Hull's website they have three bars as a level of recoil, which to me is a quite heavy recoil.There's no 24g rule for domestic trap because there's no need for one. There are several brands of 28g shell that are consistently soft to shoot and offer no more felt recoil than a 24g load.
In any event, many shooters use devices like the PFS or the Evo Comp stock that take recoil out of the equation.
What are those soft 24grm shells you are using Mike?I shoot a gun which weighs nearly 9 pounds and only shoot a "soft" 24gm shell and it's very comfortable to shoot and I do know what temperature effect can do.
