i know the light m2 is a kicker but the difference between the 35/36 gram loads and the 30 gram hi velocity2 3/4 gamebores is marked in the boot stakes without effecting bird taking ability.

nah mate only that you,ve come to the dark [subgauge] side of the force well partialy

The 3" kicked noticeably harder. Which is weird for 1gram more shot but i guess theres a fair bit more powder in there even if the boxes do say theyre both the same speed.

Gadget ,that stuff will literally stop anything in its tracks .Have seen C 404 take ducks ,and geese with 2 7/8 rounds. Weird shit though it has a very unusual crack as its fired and is bloody dirty.Apparently in a light gun it kicks kicks like an elephant cow with PMT&PMS.
no probs in my mighty escort though -she handles it with a genteel push!
In short -its an ammo that Im bloody impressed with.

probably not as much more as you,d think maybe faster burning and better combination of components youd hope
if i could get drake mallards to present them selves in the target fashion everytime and maybe hold the pose for a second or 3 id have more ducks in the freezer but thats the art of it knowing when to shoot and what your gun/shot combination will do when you stroke the trigger then its just a matter of doing your part was good to meet matty p and get him out for a shot stumpy says gidday by the way. shame nothing was about apart from 2 boot leather parries and about 6 ducks headed else where.but by your next down time things should be improving.

cheeky prick!matty ,gimme a yodel willya -ya left a ticket in the truck!alls good regardless of whatever happens.

yep be like his own personal river tree stand tho parking a car up it might be considered excessive

oh ye of little faith.A little exercise before a cuppa &a stroll never did anyone any harm!
anyhow im adding another 2ton jack,plus my hi lift one to the coffin in the back,and the 6 ton has been replaced so alls good.
hmmmmm memo to self -talk to son re fitting a dozer blade to truck for track mods as we go!
