Maritime Storm Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 What is everyone's preference when it comes to loads for their Grouse gun? Myself I usually reload 12guage 1Oz loads to 1250FPS. Quote
Mr. Mac Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Early in the season since we're shooting through the leaf filled trees at fairly close ranges we use open chokes like cylinder or skeet and IC and number Win AA Target loads 1 1/8 oz. #9s in our doubles. As the season progresses and the cover drops and the shooting lanes open we move to IC/Mod and Win Super-X Game Loads with 1 oz. of #7 1/2 or even #6s. Quote
Maritime Storm Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 I switched recently from #7 1/2 to #6 shot for my reloads, my Reuna is fixed full choke, #6's thinned the pattern a bit for close range work but still retains enough energy for longer range shots on Grouse & Varying Hare. Quote
