What HRichad posted in #11. Standard trap chambering is 12g 2 3/4 " shell. My range don't care what you shoot but do not get stupid! Proper range behavior is paramount! 1 oz - 1 1/8 at 1150 to 1200 fps with #8 shot will do the trick. Along with the BT 99 an 870 TA, TB or TC are good options along with an 1187 as long as the fit is good. An auto with a shell catcher works wonderfully on an older shoulder like mine, though hotter rounds may find their way past the catcher. Trap shooting is very addictive but you don't need an expensive gun to participate. Got a friend that can shoot 25s with a worn out Winchester 1897!
