Back from Greenbelt Public Skeet & Trap (used to be Beretta) range. Did 50 sporting clays and then 25 skeet. Used the 30-inch barrels with gaugemate gold chamber inserts and Win AA with a 1 oz. load.
My shooting was poor although I began to get it towards the end of the round of skeet (I shot the skeet gun up to reduce variables due to sloppy gunmounting). Did meet a fellow board member who knows Ken Hurst and Boone Berlin down in Robersonville.
Noticed on shooting pairs that, if I shot the first bird and the second clay was a "no bird (breaking up at launch), then, when I reloaded the right barrel and called for a pair again, the first barrel (right) would not fire. On returning home have used the snap caps to observe that you can break the barrels enough to extract a round but not to cock the hammer(s). Lesson: Positive but not really vigorous barrel breaking is needed to ensure cocked hammers. Fortunately the cocking indicators let me know.
Regards
