Suppressed Shotguns

In another life time I shot over 500 rds. of shotguns shells a day. That was the norm. in my wildest imagination I cannot imagine shooting sporting clays, live pigeon, driven birds or most field hunting of game with a suppressed shotgun. Maybe trap? Did I use ear protection yes, either custom electronic in the ear. or electronic muff. Did I feel handicapped using them? No more than my hat that kept the sun out of my eyes! Of course it might help with your follow thru.
 
I was at an event in which we were testing integrally surpressed 12s. It was quite a bit if fun doing some trap and a sporting clays course. I didn't feel hindered at all, just needed to get adjusted to the particular model I used. I am typically an o/u guy, but that surpressed 12 was neat. Can certainly see the value in a slug gun only jurisdiction to not give any nearby antis something to complain about.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
