    Since cerrosafe isn't all that hot even when molten, I think a funnel made from aluminum foil will be fine. I would almost bet you use a funnel made from heavy paper.

    Randy,
    Thirty years ago or so I had a Mossberg Model 600 (same as a Model 500 with Mossberg's version of a Poly choke) that had the choke messed up. Probably why I got it for cheap.

    Good first post.

    .45 Basic brass will be too small in diameter. As you noted BACO appears to use .50-110, although I think they may have a way to stretch the length of brass.

    Modern-Bond mold handles are what all others strive to be. At least in my experience.

    As others have already said, replace it. A new one will probably be quieter and may or may not be more effective (move more air) and efficient (cost less to run).

    Thanks for explaining why a #1½ should not be chambered for a larger diameter cartridge. I must have read that in the past, but did not retain it in the easy recall locker.

    My wag is that the reason for less recoil in 20 gauge is that there is usually less powder, and maybe slower burning powder at that.

    First thing I would check is extractor tension and also make sure the extractor hook is all there.
