Still available?

I have just purchased a 20G 2005 Browning MK70 to use for skeet. I understand that 20G needs less choke than a 12G. What chokes would members recommend, Super Cylinder, True Cylinder or Skeet, or a mixture? This is only for skeet

Does anyone have a Briley weight for a 12g o/u shotgun? Please PM if available

I am using Slippery Dicks oil and getting a good result, what would members use as a finishing coat to protect the stock? I am not sure whether to use Antiquax, Tru Oil or just leave it as it is to dry thoroughly

I am looking for an unused set of Browning barrel weights, one of mine has broken which I understand is a common problem PM with details please

Has anyone tried the Tipton rods?

I am assuming for this thread that the average impact distance is 20 yards and shot is no. 9 Can anyone tell me the % of pellets in a 24” circle, at above spec, with CYL v Skeet chokes? The 24” is arbitrary and members may feel it should be larger, I am working on half the max lead ever needed...

Yes, lower speed should mean lower recoil

I read an article on ballistics with the following stats: Shot from a 1200 fps cartridge no9 will reach 22 yards in 0.072 secs and be travelling at 740 fps Shot from a 1300 fps cartridge no9 will reach 22 yards in 0.069 secs and be travelling at 772 fps This would indicate a difference of...

Has anyone tried any skeet scoring apps on iPhone?

Do you mean stopping immediately after pulling trigger or after you see clay hit?

Do members have any advice on how to ensure the gun is not stopped and there is a smooth follow through after pulling the trigger?

Why would it be a problem if we could keep lead but maximise loads to 24gm?

Thanks for all your replies, it seems 1/2 & 1/2 is about right for Sporting and 3/8 & 1/2 for club DTL. However speed is mentioned as are cartidge loads, I will use 24gm with 7.5 shot but speed seems irrelevant, at 60 feet the difference between 1350 and 1550 fps is 0.01 sec. Surely no...

I currently only shoot skeet with two skeet guns fixed choked at SK/SK & CYL/CYL, noticing no real difference between either. I want to start Sporting and Trap and watched a very interesting video by Ben Husthwaite on choke selection, he ended by saying 1/2 & 1/2 were the best choice for...
