I'm in agreement with the shotgun crowd, but for me it would be a 20 gauge. Yellow bullets are best for me. Will handle any game I hunt OR play.

Green Dot for my 170 gr plain base copy of a 31141 for a nice light loads, then 4895 for the gas check version at a slightly more robust velocity (probably starting level jacketed velocity.)

I recently had to do some windage adjustments on my Type 99. Eddie1971 isn't kidding about them being tight. I'm sure the fact it hasn't been moved in 80+ years doesn't help.

In addition to...

Identity theft wasn't a thing until about 20 or so years ago. I personally used to (back in the 80s) put my ss# on things. A name is a clear attempt at identification, but what the heck is this...

Sorry I'm late to this thread, but i have bought 1000's of Sage copper checks in both .22 and .30. I've been completely satisfied. As another said, they might just be Gators. In any case, they are...

I have used those Poly Wad thumbtacks and they were effective, Unfortunately I believe they have been discontinued. I'm currently trying the "X" spreader inserts form Ballistic Products and they...

So 14 replies and only 1 sort of tried to answer the OPs question. Lots of great memories of grandpa's gun, detailed information on what a Cutts is and how it works, and everyone's' opinion on...

I bought a brass cleaning concentrate off Amazon that you add to water. It worked well. I find the brass isn't shiny like from a vibratory cleaner, and sometimes it does turn funny colors (I'm...

I cannot believe I missed this. I just found out today. I read it in my new issue of GUNS which came in todays mail.

He was one of my favorites. He was one of the few remaining that I grew up...

I agree, leave the Dremel in the drawer on this one. All the soaking/flushing posts are on the money.

I might also try reaching up behind the rear of bolt with an "L" shaped dental pick and pull...

As one who's spent a great deal of time shooting skeet with the .410, the simple answer is that, as with EVERYTHING pertaining to the .410, it is simply to frustrate and irritate the living daylights...

Going back to the start of the thread, I have a Paco Kelly tool. I have found that it can make a difference on "moderately good" ammo, but it is a waste of time on "not good" ammo.

What I ...

It's just that they're quality gun(like think Browning Citori level but in a sxs) plus the fact that my 20 gauge had served me so well for so many years, plus the fact that 12s are difficult to...

Those Lee Load All data sheets always blew my mind. And I'm not knocking them, that's how I learned to load, back in the 80s. But to think they just say plastic hulls/ paper hulls, that's it. NO...

"Follow the recipe" is always the best advice, period.

However, especially in the world of shotgun reloading, sometimes the recipe just doesn't exist. This is even more so now with some of the...

If you intend to shoot starlings at 30 feet, that's where you should check poi and pattern spread.

I agree, if you are hitting low, raise the comb height. A temporary pad will give you a quick...

John Wayne,

You touched a sore subject. I don't begrudge any shooter their game, and I've long been of the "it's your gun, do what you want" school.

But the CAS crowd is DESTROYING an entire...

I agree, the BSS were absolute quality guns, but heavy for the gauge. The SKBs were wands. My 20 is like 5lb 15 oz, I think this 12 is now either just 7 lbs. or maybe 6 lbs 15??

Definitely ...

M-Tecs,

The ejector guns marketed in the US had the beavertail. I thought I was being clever in fitting a model 100/150 splinter, but then I saw two YouTube videos for UK shotgun sites (TGS and...

I've had a 20 gauge Ithaca SKB Model 100 SxS for over 20 years. Just the base plain jane extractor model. I specifically sought out a 28 inch gun, since I knew they were very light, and I figured the...

2 3/4" .410 hulls?? Are you sure you don't mean 2 1/2"?

A Model 12 is a fine gun, and one that has eluded me. I have several 870s and a single Ithaca M37, just for no particular reason never acquired a Model 12. And I love shooting a pump.

I think I...

No surprise here, I basically make this same post every Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Veteran's Day. Took the war horses out to play. Shot cast in all three, plus some j words in the Garand.

16 is a niche gauge. Every now and then they make a small comeback, then the demand gets satiated, and it ebbs.

Personally I love them. I have three. I have one of the limited run Citoris...

That's exactly true. Compare an M1 carbine to a 1911. At any distance past 20 yards or so an M1 carbine is INFINITELY easier to connect with. That was the whole point, it was easier than a pistol...
