    Mouth wash!? That's what baltika beer is for.

    I have number 4's and #00

    Will need to check the pattern.

    I have some Italian gold medal something or rather. They were cheap. 80 bucks for a big box of 200 or so.

    I can empty 8 shots before Jacinda interrupted in under 8 seconds with a pump gun
    That's all the encouragement I need

    My Baikal U/O rocks !......and Fiochi buck-shot, had the best stopping-power of all the brands we tried, on goats and pigs, through a mossberg-equivalent of yours. Are you sure you want to 'spray' the goats ? a days marination = amazing curry

    I will never forget a sporting clays shoot where a guy won with a Rem 870, he beat people with very fancy u/o and semis. I was using a mossberg 500 and did ok.

    Know of any modern pump action that can/will slam fire like the old Winchester trenchgun?

    My 308 is too big for the tiny block they're on. 223 is a no go.

    22 mag takes too long to kill and I didn't like having to dump a few rounds into them.

    I've been shooting at 'going away' clays for years with a Gun City 18 1/2" barrel 870 Remmy clone with a cylinder bore and peep sights. Great fun gun with 71/2 shot and even better with all manner of slugs. The one thing I personally wouldn't do is shoot at goats with any gauge shot besides solids. You'll be back to peppering the poor sods again and that's never good.

    Done right, it will mean a slightly faster 2nd shot.
    On my Mossberg 500 if you have any weight at all on the fore end ( pump handle LOL) it doesn't work. I believe the Winchester 1200 types do though.
    Hit them with the first shot and you are sweet. I have always had a go with my 500 just before ducks since the steel thing came in otherwise I would've stuck with the A5 for everything. Bit too full for clays but if I did my bit is was fine. Not so much nowadays.
    Tried it at the local gun club and had a whisper that it wasn't legal at the club anymore but not sure if it was the new rules maybe-its still legal under the new definitions-and I did use it at NZCTA clubs years ago with no dramas. He still let me shoot so maybe the new anti evil gun law interpretations?

    .22 hornet is perfect for goats, in your situation, not much help if you havent got access to one I guess

    I believe there was a design change to the Ithaca mod 37 in the 60's or 70's due to liability and insurance etc. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a modern design or copy of an old model with that feature.
