Most sporting clays, trap and skeet courses don't allow shot larger than 7.5.

The two kinds of people who shoot large shot and 3" mags are either newbies who don't know any better or hacks who can't shoot and think they can make it up with more power.

Clays are pretty fragile. One ounce of #8 will break them easily if you can shoot.

If you can't shoot, no amount of shot will break them. :wink:

Or it's hunters that know exactly what they are doing and are practising with some of their hunting loads.

Or dickheads who ignore the virtually universal club rules and shoot excessively powerful ammo. You decide.

Guess I must be one of those "dickheads"
because over the years I have tested thousands of different loads, barrel configurations, and chokes on those lil clay birdies.

tom-- who is damn sure gonna find out how a load performs before I use it on real birds

I guess shot fall considerations don't mean a damn thing to you?

Go right ahead doing whatever you want, even if it's at a detriment to the club or facility. Just don't do it where I'm a member, because I would do my level best to get you expelled.

If the shoe fits.......

Instead of starting a new thread I'll just ask here.
Someone gave me 10 boxes of 7.5 - 7/8 and 3/4 oz. shot.
My question is, is this O.K. to use shooting sporting clays and also, will this be enough to eject shells from an 11-87?
There are some Winchester boxes, Remington boxes and others I can't remember.
Thanks

What gauge are these shells and gun?

If they are 20 gauge, the 11-87 will definitely cycle the 7/8 oz. and most likely cycle the 3/4 oz.

If they are 12 ga., the 11-87 might cycle the 7/8s (mine does), but most certainly not the 3/4.
