Not for FITASC. You NEED 1 1/8 loads.

In the US you can use 1 1/8 oz but not in International competition.

7.8 The cartridge shot load must not exceed 28 grams with a maximum tolerance of +2%. Shot must be spherical, of a regular diameter of 2.0 to 2.5 mm.

Which is why you see those 7/8 ounce 1400-1500 fps loads.

I shoot in the US, so want my 1 1/8 ounce of 1250 fps 7 1/2 loads.

I shot the FITASC Nationals back in the 90s when it was at Hopkins Game Farm.

First station was crossing simo rabbits at a measured 45 yards. And it didn't get much better.

Soo, I have fun with my Mossberg Maverick 88 with 18" barrel. Below is a pic of one with a 22" barrel. Barrels are available in 18",22", 26", 28".

The pic below is one from Sportsman's Warehouse for $199.

I woulda suggested this one....

...but yours might work more better

If anyone's still looking for an inexpensive 12 gauge, I have a Mossberg 500A (engraved version with the gold trigger, shooter, not a showqueen) with a rifled 24" slug barrel, and a 27"? one with an Accuchoke. Will sell with either, or both barrels.

Will be in the Classifieds very soon...(today if I can resize the pics)

Welp today will be the day to start busting clays after work

. Not sure how well the clay thrower will work found a spring loaded thrower for 30 bucks on Saturday , string release not a foot pedal . Order a Stevenson 320 Youth Shotgun in Pink Cammo for the wife but that isnt in yet. Put two rounds thru a piece of plywood (1 stated it was for paper targets and the other for Clays) . The modified choke that came in the 870 was tight at about 10 yards , depending how today goes I might need to open the spread

Just an FYI....the torque of the throwing arm will loosen the dirt around the spikes very quickly requiring it to be moved frequently.

As long as you don't have to move the tractor some place to shoot....

. We had to go to my dad's friends gravel pit, and we took it with us when we were camping some place we could use it.

Google "trailer hitch trap mounts" there are a lot of mounts designed for 2" receiver hitches.

Will do as I have a 2 inch receiver on the bottom of the ROPS to mount a ATV Sprayer so the wife can kill weeds

No clays yesterday

Seems Walmart isnt following the Fed Guidelines the Elkton Walmart closed the sporting goods section so even though clays are on a shelf they wont let you buy them SMH not sure what damage you can do with em

Pinecone · May 12, 2020

It makes NO sense to limit what you can and cannot buy. You are in the store.

Broncolou · May 15, 2020

I’ve been trying to find clays locally. Towson to Shrewsbury Wally World has been out of stock over a month....

So, instead of letting you grab them and go you and an employee had to talk and blow germs at each other!?!
:rolleyes:

Tried it again little David Hogg wanna be (different clerk) saying sporting goods are closed but i pointed out the people buying fishing gear than he let me get targets but not shells that were on the shelf above

That SKB in the classified is a pretty darn good deal. If I didn't already have one, I'd probably have talked myself into buying it. You'd have to luck into a deal to do better.

frogman68 · May 24, 2020

Built this , can adjust the angle more

. Have 450 clays but haven’t tested it yet
