In reference to my comments above; the Weaver 10 bases were not even a close fit.

Thanks for the info Scrummy. I have a Bushnell First Strike on a HiPoint 4595; I'm going to see what the view is...

Now that is a sight setup, I'd like to see.

Looking at the Claybuster CB1114-12, I think the cup is way too deep. I narrowed down my searching to wads with 7/8 ounce or less shot cups. Initially,...

The sight is a solid one-piece block, braised (?) to the barrel. It sits way too high; the rear sight is...

The Marlin 512 and Mossberg 695 both have their good points, but neither shoot as well as the Western Field 170. Neither of the others will shoot the Lee slug. I think the need to use a column wad...

I see JBinMN provided the info. My 170 is the "Slugster", roll stamped on the barrel, so I'm not sure what you might find on that shotgun. The Slugster has a Williams dovetailed, adjustable, rear...

Thank you!

The durn Western Field shoots the Lee like a laser. I think I am going to sell my rifled shotguns & barrel to fund a gunsmith built scout mount for the 170. I've used a gunsmith for...

Months ago, I went into the details of a load that was working out very well on the range with my Western Field 170 and the Lee 1 ounce slug. I detailed that work here: Western Field 170 Slugster ~...

I'm a Weaver guy and had a conversation with a technician concerning scopes on a shotgun. All of their non-rimfire offerings are good to go on a shotgun. What he did say with any scope on a heavy...

Is there a link to the full-bore Buckbuster?

I have the Lee drawings, the design is .681".

Using transparent hulls demonstrate this. When I've dropped a shell with the X12X or any of the other seals and most column pressure wads, I find particles of powder ahead of the seal. Not so with...

The bullets are plumber's lead and tin. I always keep some as a sample before any treatment, the naked bullets are .734," and the coated are .737". Percentage-wise, .737" to .731" is slight less than...

Very interesting! Has anyone identified the "target" pressure column wads that fit the design in post #1? I spent a bit of time working on a design with NOE, but we dropped it. We took an appropriate...

"thinker" is a great description! I'm not a shot reloader, I intended to get there about four years ago, right after I finished up a slug load. Pffft!

I've ended up with shelves of components. I...

It's dark by 8:00 now, you can hunt around the clock here. I stayed until 10, no hogs, and there was a line of thunderstorms push up on my position. On camera, this group of pigs shows up immediately...

Still out here, hogs haven't showed... bastages! I will give it another hour. Seen a number of very large bucks after dark.

I'm live from a tower blind in South Texas! Not with the 695 though. When I was looking at the fit of the stock, I noticed that the scope was slipping a bit. Decided not to shoot it, get the work...

A cheap one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/312474008690

I have a spot on the back of my barn wall (25 yards from the front) with a bullseye marked and then inch references above it. A cheap...

The groove diameter of the barrel is .731". The slugs, coated, are .737. In the last 24 hours, I've shot about 30 rounds, and there has been no leading.

Yes, the shots are much quieter than using...

Hey guys, I corrected the text on the first image of the components; I had labeled it a 50mm. It is 21mm.

I've just come down the hill from the range; I'm beat up and hot, but happy!

A couple...

Here are the 50 and 100-yard targets. When I finished getting the scope sighted at 25-yards, I only had four rounds left. I shot...

First shots downrange from the Mossberg 695!

Yep, I have several roll crimpers. Hands down a six-crimp star deliver better MOA performance at 100-yards in both the Marlin and Mossberg 500. I have absolutely no plans to return to the roll crimp.

Thanks! Feeding the beast!
