Interesting article about shotgun ballistics

I have never seen a 4 gauge but have seen an 8 gauge. I think they called them a bunt gun or something used for commercial hunting.

Punt gun is a 2 gauge.

The recoil is only ever felt on the patterning board.

I did find out though that my right shoulder has multiple tears in the rotator cuff and tendonitis as well, I think I will just stay away from 3 1/2" loads to be safe until I can get this figured out.

3 1/2" turkey loads this past spring really hurt, while patterning I took my last shot and had my arm feel like I went to sleep, not good.

Not so. If you want to develop a flinch, start a career of trap shooting.

What I meant was that in the heat of the moment when the animal comes out most people do not feel the recoil, but they do at the target range. This is why things like the lead sled are so nice, they keep the recoil down for range time which helps to reduce the flinch. The same will be the case as you said with trap.

I used to shoot my 303 Brit at 15 so much that my shoulder would go black and blue, this was prone with military surplus ammo and the original stock.

LOL...seems we all did that...my Dad's 44 mag rifle...

I shot the 30-06 when I was 7 the first time, ha ha, dad thought I was nuts but I loved it.

The brass butt plate on that No. 1 Mk III prone does not feel good, but stripper clips and cheap ammo make for a good afternoon. You can even cook an egg on the barrel :)
