Re: Let’s talk about shotguns for serious use.

I keep just a plain old 1917 built Model 12 with a little over 18" of barrel hand for serious social discussions.

Re: rossi 92 454

Does the brass bulge like the .45 Colt and .44 Mag gun's do ? If your brass bulges the chamber must be oversize. My .45 Colt's don't do that. Neither do the .44's. Don't own one but have read where many have had that issue with the new Rossi rifles. Was thinking about a .454 but was hesitant on tha...

The Winchester tool seated a primer , seated a bullet and crimped it in. There was a separate de priming tool and you had to use the ...

I use the 310 stuff a lot, it's what I learned on 56 years ago. Also use the Tru Line Jr press and dies. All the 310 and Tru line stuff is getting hard to get for people that actually use them on account of the collectors.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?

A 42 by all means unless it strains your budget. I have the CZ over and under and love it. A Remington 1100 in .410 would be nice also. That said , I seldom shoot mine due to shells being so high and hard to locate. I shoot my 28 gauge CZ sbs instead. 28 gauge 1100's are extremely nice.
