Bit too stormy today for a walk in the bush, so a chronographing session seemed like a workable Plan B.

Took the Wm Griffiths double slugger to the range with a handful of Brenneke 1 1/8 oz factory-loads, to check ballistics and see how the POI differs from the woeful RC4 slugs the gun was re-regulated for.



Shooting right, left, right, left, results were 1473, 1457, 1467, and 1445 fps from the cut-down 24-inch true-cylinder-bore tubes. Not bad considering the published ballistics are 1434 fps from a Remington 870. The best part was the grouping! A little low on target with my sights, but typical one-hole accuracy at 25 metres:



I can only hope my handloads with the Brenneke slugs kindly sent to me by a forum member in Europe can match these factory ballistics and accuracy. Only one way to find!

Our biggest challenge in Australia is convincing our importers to once again bring these marvellous slugs back into the country. Obviously the profit margin is not as good as for the current rubbish they sell.

Marrakai,
Pretty good shooting and those slugs should give quite a wallop but having your guns so close to that cinder block just gives me the willies!
