Shooting Clays with a Drilling?
|
Drillings are the real all terrain hunting kit.

The extra weight should help prevent stopping the swing, the bane of all trap shooters.
We found that shooting trap with a Brown Bess musket- didn't hit many birds, but the swing was perfect.

Biggest problem for clay targets is that most Drillings have tight chokes, mod & full or tighter.
A 24" barrel Drilling by the way is called a Kurz-Drilling, (Kurz meaning short). A short barrel might make getting full velocity from the 7x65R a challenge, but there will be powders that can do it, if you experiment. If you use Hirtenberg 7x65R cases, beware that they have a small flash hole, so simply bore it out or loose your decapping pin.

I'm not sure a 1/2 and full choke is a bad thing for trap?
As I have only once tried to put the magnetochrony on the drilling and it didn't work because of the taper I have no idea of the velocity but my guess is its okay for 7cm high at 100m for a 200m zero using 175gr interlocks. Seems to kill most things it is aimed at, so I'm not going to panic if its a few fps short of its potential.
