Purchased another Duck-Goose killer last week and it arrived today . Guns not perfect by any stretch but it is a little rareish in the fact that it's a 12 gauge Parker VH built on the #3 frame which is considered the standard 10 gauge frame most 12's were on 1 , 1 1/2 or 2 frames . I have a pair of ...

Does he have 10 and 16 as well ? At the present I’ve got way WAY more shotgun loaders than a rational human would need . I’ve got MEC 9000’s for 12 , 16 , 20 , 28 and 410 multiples in the 12 and 28 . Have a pair of Grabbers in 28 and 410 . A 650 12 just sold my lightly used 650 16 to a friend . Size...

Back when I kept setters and actually pursued wild game birds I wore Browning Featherweight boots . They were quite comfortable and don’t remmember them being overly heavy however I was a good bit younger then . I also used Red Wings often although more as boots for work .

The first and larger one was made in 1914 and a friend still has it . I reflued it when I got it in 1981 after I so...

I bought a pair of 800 gram camo Danners and recieved them today . After wearing Rocky or LaCrosse rubber up to the knee boots the last twenty to thirty years these things seem as light as a feather . They’re not leather for sure and nope they weren’t made in the USA and I got some sort of dealer di...

I just treated myself to a very similar rifle, CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39. Over the weekend I put on Millet rings and a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 scope. Sunday PM a measly shipment of Tulammo and Wolf softpoint ammo showed up via Fedex, and yesterday early I went out to the range to sight her in. I...

I went to the range TWICE today ! Took the PRC and my 6.5 Sherman Short Mag . Shooting the Hornady 143 gr ELD-X in both . Max with RL-25 is 59.5 for the PRC but the Sherman seems okay with 65 grains and most likely will hold 66 . The PRC is set with the Hornady 140 SST and the 143 ELD-X pushed by 58...

When I had the Super 444 Affliction I had two dozen pre 1976 444 levers so I started a quuring period correct Weavers . Had K2.5’s , K3’s , K4’s , KV’s , V4.5 , V7 , V9 and the 2.5-8 that had the adjustment in the rear mount think it was called V8 . Anyway with my high octane 444 cast loads I trashe...

I visited the place five or so years ago . Not at fair time but stopped by . Strangely I came out of there with a few things for the Contrmporarys I used to have but the big score was a very very nice Wm Beatty meat cleaver . I use that from time to time when butchering deer .

Slick! What is the barrel length and what are you gonna shoot with it? I’ve never measured them I don’t think ! I’ll shoot skeet with it and I might take it on one of the preserve quail hunts . The gun fits me very well . I put a flat choke gauge in it and it says M&F which I thought a bit differen...

Got two boxes of Hornady 143 grain ELD-X bullets and loaded some with 58.5 and 59.5 of RL-25 . Hopefully I’ll see how they do before Monday .

We’ve had the little Salvinelli 410 O/U double trigger for about twenty five years . Bought it from the wife of and old deceased gunsmith friend and the thing never did work exactly right . Hopefully that’s remedied as of today. E79BBD92-F6B3-496B-82B6-3055035ECEDB.jpeg 230C8E1B-EFD4-4E3B-A6CC-7AA94...

I think we have a winner! Just move the scope and call it good !!

I only tried 58.5 and 59.5 grains the extra grain opened it a bit but still less than 1/2” I think .

6pt-sika

I put a Timney trigged in the gun and set it at 1.4 pounds also replaced the Stryka 3-9 with an Athlon 4-16AO . Loaded some with the Hornady 140 SST pushed with RL-25 and set off with Federal 215 primers . This was the first group with 58.5 grains .

I used to hunt Chinese Ringneck Pheasants when I lived in Kansas. They love the wheat and milo stubble. Number 6 or 7&1/2 shot and a modified choke was as good as it got. Full choke was too tight and bigger shot would damage too much meat. Three years ago on the preserve I carried a 20 gauge M&F lo...

To remove the stuck on powder ring, put a bronze bore brush on only 1 section of cleaning rod, chuck it into a drill, dip the brush into some hoppes or similar solvent, start the drill and spin the brush as you only go in as deep as the chamber. Just about 30 seconds to a minute should be enough. B...

Chokes don’t bother me as much as they used to . I used to be adamant about more open for upland birds and skeet blah blah blah .

Just being curious, what's the load ? I'm going to reload a few when I can get the primers. I need to go check the powder bushing to tell you what amount of WIN 296 it’s dropping . Otherwise WIN 209 , CB AA410 wad and 1/2 ounce shot . These are 9’s I’d also like to get a couple hundred with 8 1/2’s .

I would be soooooo anal about policing my brass for that ! I am already half way there for my more common stuff ! But it is kewl stuff

Ha ! I do that now with all the others !
I shoot a clip and pick up the brass . Makes no difference if it's 45 ACP , 10mm or 9 Hoodrat .

I have a 10mm in addition to my .45 ACP. The 10mm in a 1911 platform is accurate. Reloaded to near max levels, it has a pretty strong kick. Not terrible, not uncontrollable. Just pretty strong. .44 Mag , .480, .475, .454, and a couple of others have a stronger kick. I've got the 10mm in a 6" 1911 a...

ACP sure, 9mm yup even 38 super. The 45 WinMag was abusive! I haven't seen one of the 50s.

They’ve been out I think over 10 years . I remmember reading about them awhile back in G&A or ST .

I have no personal experience with a .260, but ballistically it is practically the same as a 6.5mm Creedmore from what I can see.

You have it backwards !

The 6.5 Crudmoor is almost the same as the 260

I've had 260's since back in the 1990's .

I do think it sounds as if you can cover everything on this continent with that mix.

There were a couple folks that come into the shop regularly wanting 22-250 uppers but that doesn't really intrest me . But something based on the WSM or SAUM case would be intresting .

I have a 7-08 bolt action. That caliber in an AR10 sounds great to me. Not sure why, but I like it. I always liked the 7-08 cartridge ! But I already have an AR-10 upper in 260 which makes it a little redundant . But far be it for me to question my own wants as a 7-08 would fit very nicely with the...
