Sausagedog 7,381 Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 No one mentions buckshot in the UK often but seeing I have a few lbs of #4buck and Alliant Herco I thought I would have a go. I failed to remember to photograph the pattern tonight but its looking good so far. Certainly fox capable at 40yds. It's a simple load of 27 #4buck on fibre and nitro cards burning 25gns of Alliant Herco. It seems I have to see little to no rib with buckshot compared to birdshot, bizarrely. The photo taken by a friend was pulled from a video he took. At half speed you can see the full cycle of the long recoil action. In the photo the barrel has returned to battery and just ejected the case. The shell lifter has not lifted the next cartridge yet and released the bolt although I can just see the next cartridge (dark blue) about to be lifted. 4 Quote Link to post
