Hi folks,
I am not a shotgun wizard, nor am I even close to ever being a match winning shotgunner. I am a "dabbler" when it comes to shotgun skills.
Nonetheless, I had my 12 GA Ruger Gold Label out today for a "Financial Client" Sporting Clays shoot here in SW Pennsylvania (Nemacolin). I was using the club shotshells, which were Spanish manufactured steel shot target loads, and shot the first two stages with no problems. On the third stage, I had two "doubles" in a row (talk about laying a hurt on one's shoulder!), and then put my Gold Label on the cart and finished the shoot with a Nemacolin Beretta O/U.
Over the last four years, I have shot my Gold Label using mostly Win AA shotshells for trap with nary a problem. Yesterday, my wife and I went to our club to practice for this Sporting Clays shoot, and shot my Ruger Gold Label using 75 Win AA loads on the trap range with nary a problem.
Is it possible a certain brand of shotshells could cause a shotgun to "double"? Why would that happen? If this shotgun would ever go back to Ruger for this "problem", I may never get it back.
I would appreciate some feedback from Ruger shotgunners.
Best,
Coop
