Anyone finding a hot load or one they wish they had not spent the coin on?
What gauge and chamber length are you shooting? What will you be hunting....ducks...big, medium, or small? Geese?.....snows or Canadian. Pass shooting, or decoy...Field or over water?CDNSPORTSMAN said:Which BC there are several loads? thiking of trying them on Wednesday?
First of all, because of the unique wad used by Black Cloud, it's recommended that no choke tighter than medium be used for best patterns. Number 4 can be used to great effect of quacker, and 2s on honkers in your shotgun. I'd let the geese get in real close though.CDNSPORTSMAN said:3" pass mostly, some over small water on flooded fields Ducks to Geese basically Netley off the big water.
Have someTungstenn, Kent 2 and 4's choked full mod so bigger then #2 a no no.
Just remember don't use a tight choke with them...modified, or improved modified, or improved ...pattern them before you go out. The have a unique wad that holds onto the shot for a greater distance than other shells. A full choke will separate the wad from the shot too soon, and crappy patterns will result.ChaD? said:Im gonna buy a box of Black clouds for next weekend It looks like
Something else that could be contributing to your problem is the difference in stock dimensions between the Benelli and the Browning...length of pull, height of comb, drop, etc. A long time ago I bought a beautiful used Charles Daily Double Barrel...but, I couldn't hit a thing with it...it just didn't fit me like my cherished Ithaca Mod. 37. With shotguns, fit is everything.ihunttoomuch said:Apart from goose and duck shooting, i have found not all chokes are made the same. My browning bps with a mod. I can shoulder and hit 7 outta 10 air shots on ruffies. I just bot a syn benelli nova and love the gun but i have yet to take one from the air..... its like its shooting blanks. (mod choke)..... i really think that gun needs the full choke for lead. I haven't shot it on actual paper yet but i do think the chokes are off thin.....
