    Exactly. That's what I'm doing now too. I'm curious though, How sweet would buckshot be if it were cast of premium metal and then nickle plated? I've never messed with nickle plating before, but it...

    It's very expensive.
  4. Anybody dinked with nickle plating buckshot?

    BPI sells nickle plated buckshot. I love em but I don't want a kiss on the back of my ear.
    I wonder how this would work.

    Gas checks work in conjunction with the correct bullet lube to prevent gas cutting which causes leading. Actually, I theorize that in a way, the gas check does nothing but create a high pressure ring...

    I'm also very pleased with the Laser engraving. This was the first "Pre-bluing" graphic I've tried and I thought it came out perfect. I'll be using that trick a lot in the future.

    Well I thought so. I tell you what I really want to do is to find an old SXS and send off to have some microgrooves cut 1-80 in the barrels. I think that'd be sweet as sourwood honey.

    Just my 2 cents worth:
    The Remington 700's are designed to be as modular as possible. The same action will feed 30-06, 8mm Mauser, 300 winmag, and 458 Winmag, simply by using the correct...
