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.

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.

the real trick is micky getting the log to pivot under the diff so you get the wheels airborne
that takes real experience

I've had that with a logging contractor with his tractor come log skidder. Was not long after giving me the lecture on cutting low to avoid the problem, and yes it was one he'd cut.
