I haven't found anything that is reliable in a brass hull. In my testing all the standard 410 wads are too small and do not flare out consistently to seal and give reliable performance. I tried...

I have a Cape gun in 16 gauge x 12.7x44R and they do require a lot of trimming from 50 Alaskan but I bought a used RCBS Power Trimmer at a local gun show and it was worth every penny. Put the 50...

TheAbe, could you post another closer photo of the barrel flats? I tried blowing it up and it pixilates before my old eyes can really read it. I thought I saw a Crown / U on the right flat and that...

John, I believe you are correct and being stamped with "24" gauge designation rather than a caliber pretty much defines them as shotgun hulls. A heavier base would take up valuable powder space as...

I saw this post and shoot a lot of 24 gauge shotgun plus reformed quite a few into 577-450. I have some Magtech brass hulls that I bought five or six years ago and they measure 0.656" at the base and...

I just had the same problem with a new to me 410 and even some factory ammo didn't want to go past the brass. My MEC only sizes down to .472" and they barely go in. I even bought a Super-Sizer...

About a year ago I got involved in a project with a friend that wanted to shoot a new to him 25 Stevens RF and I worked on it a while. My first thought was to find a nail-gun cartridge that would...

Since it shoots a lead boolit I thought I would mention the fun to be had with long range air rifle shooting and "mini-sniping". I bought a Crossman Challenger and mounted a Vortex Venom on it. It...

I am sorry to say that I cannot put my finger on it at the moment but it was either The Gun and It's Development by Greener or The Modern Shotgun by Burrard. It may also have come out of a compendium...

The wads were not always seated on the powder. Some early Paradox shells had a collar inside that stopped the wad and left a chamber where the powder was loose. It sounds crazy but it moderated the...

Just saw your post and my RCBS shotshell manual shows both the clear and yellow base wads in the 3 inch hulls as the same. Best, Squid Boy

It seems like a hundred years ago but I started swaging bullets in 77 grain .228 diameter for a 5.6x 61Vom Hofe Super Express. I first used 22 long rifle cases but as I got above 3,200 fps or so they...

Cheddites come in at least 3 flavors. CX-50, CX-1000 and CX-2000. The CX-50 are mild and the CX-1000 is more of a medium power while the CX-2000 seems to be at least as hot as the Federals and maybe...

I recall an experiment conducted by one of the contributors to the British sporting paper called "The Field". I have a book of these articles by a Frederic Toms and as I remember they took various...

It just goes to show you how finicky 22's can be. I found that changing ammo usually requires a certain number of shots before it settles back down. Eley Match shoots about as well as 10-X but it...

I can't speak for the CZ but you should really like that Bergera. Squid

Best group to date from my Bergara B14R. Eley 10X five shots 100 yards.

Put the wrong picture up that didn't include the data. This one is correct.
It will shoot sub 1/2 inch if it isn't...

I really like my Bergara but I am amazed by just how accurate some of the modified 10/22's can be. I'll have to find some Green Tag to test. It shoots CCI standard velocity well but not as good as I...

I took advantage of a very nice day to shoot the Bergara B14R at 100 yards. I was using some older Eley Match and it took about twenty shots to get settled down and then I shot this target with the...

I only have nine but room for a few more. Thanks, Squid Boy

Here' the first Bergara target after getting it in the paper at fifty yards. This is the last five of the first 18 down the tube. Data is on the target. I think it wants to shoot but I need to get...

I have used Mag Tec 24 gauge to good effect. Also old Kynock's converted to 209 primers and an assortment of others. The most accurate were fire formed and the bullet either PP'd or sized to a firm...

I just received my ten piece order of 4" eight gauge brass hulls from Rocky Mountain after about an eight month wait. They are excellent and worth the wait and price. I must say a lot of brass was...

I had an extremely accurate Win M-52 and a very fine BRNO ZKK-602 375 H&H but lust for something else clouded my mind and both got traded off. Dumbness happens sometimes. Bad weather is holding me...

No joy on the Lithgow so I brought home the Bergara today. It is darned nice overall and very smooth. Glass comes tomorrow and I'll try it soon.
