For any kind of target shooting, the CZ is the way to go. Start out with some Eley Match in several lot numbers and pick the best one. Then buy a couple (or more) bricks.

Forum: Leverguns
This is what worked for me. I've got a .38-55 94 Win made in 1898 that would keyhole half of them. I extended the bullet out so that I had to crush it into rifling by closing the lever. That took...
It also sounds like you have some total idiots at the club you belong to.
The IHMSA club I shoot at won't let me shoot my .22 LR at their Field Pistol targets. They say that the bullets will...

Keep steering him to the CZ 457 MTR. It's a great rifle, and reasonably priced. The latest .22 matches I've been shooting are up to 300 yds. (with talk of trying 400). There's not a semi-auto on...

I'm on the Clear the Barrel team. I was also told to never clean a .22 barrel. After several weeks in the mini-Palma league, and keeping up with the big boys, the Anschutz 1907 (with Eley Match)...

I shoot 7/8 oz. out of both a 12 and 20 gage semi-auto. Would be hard pressed to find a difference in their recoil.

One of the worst casting mistakes I made was to cast a pot full of pure lino into 240 gr. for .44 mag. How could they possibly not work. Well, they didn't shoot for squat, but they're all sized,...

I use 8 gr. of 231 in both the 03A3 and K31 with the LBT 117 gr. bullet. Makes a great offhand 100 yd. paper punching load. Even has enough horsepower to take out 50 yd. full size chickens.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was pleasantly surprised at how well they cast. Blocks were the same size as much larger bullets. They didn't seem to be a problem for me. They were used in a 1/9 twist AR-15. GC was mandatory...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I shoot the grungiest brass I can find on purpose. This is so I can rub their noses in it of the people that are so insufferably anal that they do things like count out kernels of powder, and trim...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Every time I'm reforming a case, I look for the R-P brass. In my experience, it's the softest. Also, I use a .270 REN die as a pre-sizer before the final .25-20.

Got the shotgun back and it works again. They replaced the magazine tube. Problem is I like to shoot a round of skeet a week with it and if it's going to wear out like this, am I going to expect...

I have never chamfered a straight walled pistol brass in my life, and I used to shoot thousands a year in Cowboy Action.

I've won some big matches with an Anschutz model 1917. Has a 20 minute base and Burris Signature rings setup for another 20. With the Vortex 6-24 target scope with 60 minutes of elevation...

I sent Browning that pic of the magazine tube. To their credit they're sending a prepaid shipping label to send shotgun to repair facility. Gun is on its way.

Yes, it is put together correctly but thanks for the assembly print to confirm it. There is severe (what I'll call) gas cutting on part 47. Its location would be under the piston. If this is what...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
When I first bought the gun I wanted to see how low of a load would still function. Got down to 12 gr. of WSF and it worked like a charm. Finally settled on 16 gr for the skeet load. Have now gone...

I've seen the same thing, but they pass the "plunk test" and I've been shooting then for years with no problem.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Well, I've got the gas ports cleaned out. Looked in there with bore scope. Also shined light in barrel and it shows thru holes in gas block. Problem is the gun is still acting like a single shot. ...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Ah yes, the fuzzy pipe cleaners. Same ones I use for the AR family. Thank you.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Is there a standard procedure for cleaning gas ports in a semi-auto shotgun? I have a 20 gage Browning Silver Field that needs them cleared out. Is there a drill size that would work?

I've heard they're going to build a factory in the good ol USA.

I just got some good target ammo (Eley Match) from Freeland's Sports. They had 10 lot numbers available. Had plenty of other brands too.

I found that a gas check in mandatory. Without it, I couldn't hit minute of berm.

400 is getting out there. I've shot 425, but that was with a vernier tang rear (target #5 at Quigley). My Anschutz 1917 has a 40 moa base and at 300 with std velocity it's up to 4.8 on a Vortex...
