No, I was tired, it's actually the the way round (doh), skeet becomes IC, cylinder becomes skeet. I'll get me coat.

I wasn't saying anyone should, I was simply explaining that chokes don't actually 'choke' as one might imagine they do. At the end of the day, it's what actually happens at the pattern plate that tells you what a choke and cartridge combination does. Once that's established, take it to the clays.

I didn't say it would improve your shooting, only that it was a deep subject, but understanding it may well improve matters. For arguments sake, consider a gun that has been shot quite a lot with a bore diameter of .734" or had aftermarket overboring undertaken, or even had the barrels lapped...

I'm searching for old cleaning accessories to put in a William Powell gun case with an old William Powell sxs. I could of course, buy a new cleaning kit, but I'm trying to search out something a bit more period to go with the gun to 'make it right'. WP only marked their oil bottles and case...

I shoot 30" o/u and as short as a 25" sxs and besides the swing speed of the gun, patterns in respect to choke sizes are not that much different for the same cartridge. I haven't measured velocity, but I've killed some very long distance birds (clays) with the same lead on both guns. If velocity...

This reminds me of a cautionary piece of advice about lodging your guns with an RFD if you are going through a divorce or messy break-up. I did hear of a lady who accused her estranged husband of waving a shotgun around and making threats. The Police were very quick to respond, and it could have...

Had an Ultra XS for the first 5 or 6 years of clay shooting and dragged my way up from 38% hit rate to 80% where I plateaued. I'm a  great believed that you shouldn't swap a gun early on in your clay shooting career, as it will be technique that's at fault, not the gun. However, with increasing...

Can't disagree with that. Too many look at the aesthetics rather than the scores.

Seems a good idea. I haven't been asked but I think I'll do it anyway.
