Yeah, and skeet is a horse of a different color. Try them from the 27 and get back with us. It's funny sometimes when posts like this get started. Someone touts 3/4 or 7/8 ounce loads and use something like skeet or bunker as an example, and then a post comes up that long yardage shooters should use 1 ounce to handicap them at the 27. If light loads trip your trigger, great, but I don't think I'll worry about meeting a person using them in the shoot offs.
Right on. If there was a great advantage everyone would use them in competition. They are lots of fun for just screwing around or stretching your reloading just a bit more.
Unless it's changed in the last couple of years, they shoot 24 gram loads at 1350 fps.
You are not alone with other trap shooters that the only shell has to be 1 1/8 oz especially @ 27. After as long as I've shot lighter pay loads have not handicap myself. Maybe one of these days you'll try it and if you do you'll be amazed as others that have tried it with success. Shooters have to have confidence in their equipment some succeed @ lighter charge weights while others trap game has to have every pellet that can be crimped into a shot cup. I don't worry about the other 4 stations if they are shooting 1 1/8 oz even if I loose its was NOT the shell.
That's an 88. You won't win anything with that.
it‘s for practice only MG
The issue with practicing using that load, is you can make a perfect shot and not break the target. If you put the 3/4 Oz load on paper at 40 yards. You can clearly see how easy it will be for a target to pass right thru the pattern. It's just not dense enough for the consistency that I require.
