Have you thought about reduced loads for clays? My kids use lowest recoil and love it.
What the hell is Paul
I have certainly thought about it, I even bought a Lee Load-All
But I have no idea about loading shotshells, so I need to do some learnin'
There was a thread on Facebook today about loading shotshells, loaded with the old "You have to follow the recipes exactly!" comments galore. Have these people not seen Taofledermaus or Demolition Ranch? It seems to me you can stick whatever you like in a shotshell, batteries, torches, lighters, other shotshells, nails, anything that'll fit down the tube
I normally shoot one-ounce, 1300fps field loads of 7-1/2's, or I swap in a 7/8-ounce slug, or 50 BB's. These loads are definitely more than my shoulder can handle for more than a handful of shots
I should try something like 3/4-ounce loads around 1000fps and see how they feel. I know that different powders, and even different bullet designs can have noticeable recoil effects, and I've read that wads play an even bigger role in shotshells. Is there a specific wad that I should buy perhaps, made for the elderly and decrepit?
I've also got some .45-cal wads en-route to experiment with .44 Mag shotshells for a giggle.
I got a message yesterday from a guy selling some milsurps locally, so I need to investigate that before I can do much with the shotgun I think.
