OP reviving the thread for an important realization. Lyman's $139 Turbo sonic ultrasonic case cleaner is the same as the Harbor Freight model! Lyman's does come with a nicer basket. Having two sets of instructions is helpful (although doesn't reveal a lot of new information). Still good to...

I'm wondering how interested people would be in a conversion kits for the EOTech / Bushnell holosights. Kit one: drop in rechargeable N-size batteries. The downside is they would have half the run time of the N-size alkalines, but are rechargeable hundreds of times. Cost would be on the...

oneounce: the only offer I can find is the STS/Nitro $2 rebate; nothing about a $1 Gun Club rebate. )^:

I have a few 30 Caliber ammo cans... they came full of 30-06! :^) Seriously, in addition to CMP ammo, some website had 10 cans shipped for a good price a bit back and I wish I had bought twice as many.

Completely agree Dick's should be labeling it correct, but also fault Remington a little bit for making a 20rd box; should I keep my eyes out for tube socks to start to come 5 in a pack? :^) BTW, can you post a link to a rebate for Gun Clubs? The only one I know of is for STS/Nitro ... which...

For a safe alarm, I favor the pepper-spray dispensing alarm package myself. A stand alone system attached to the safe. Any movement or opening of the safe without disarming and the pepper fog engulfs the area. Stops the smash and grab post-haste. ;^)

So if you looked in last week's Dick's flyer you noticed that Remington STS was on sale for $7 a box (which seemed like a fair price). Below that, they had Remington "Game and Target", regularly $5.99, for $3.98 when you purchased a case. The two deals together got me in the store. I asked...

The 20ga usage in our 12ga league is a mix; for example I own a 20ga but a few of the more serious people use tubes. There are a lot of 12ga 7/8oz reloads being fired in O/Us. Felt recoil is such a slippery subject, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Owning a 7# 20ga O/U and an 8#...

True, finding a variety of loads for 12 gauge might be easier at your average store, but there are a wide variety of loads available online. I've seen a lot of 1oz #8 & #9 loads ... which is enough for skeet and 5 stand (I've never shot trap so I don't want to say what works there). Most all...

Does your club have a beginner's league or intro event? Ask around; our club does, open to members and non-members, and it brings many new shooters into the sport. If your club doesn't, a neighboring club might. Second idea, are there any clubs / ranges that teach an intro to shotgunning...

:^) As I wrote my original reply I thought, "you know, someone is going to say just shoot lighter loads" and you are absolutely correct. When I started, I was buying Winchester 7/8oz (26gram) Low Recoil, but those are at least 40% more expensive than promo shells. So I bought a reloading...

Voland: I did what you are talking about and own a Baikal / Spartan; it's a solid little trooper. I've decided I do like O/U shotguns so I'm now saving & shopping for a B gun, and will probably sell the Baikal. I would encourage you to get a used gun (cheap or expensive) because you can most...

I concur on the box being for a scoped slug gun. In my very limited experience, slugs are not predictable enough to say what's happening here. Try another type / brand is probably going to be the universal answer.

Any chance these are Walmart clays? In my experience, they come pre-fractured. But I'd guess the long car ride wouldn't have helped. I remember reading the blog of a fellow who was trying to get his affordable electric machine to work and found out that most of his problems were caused by the...

I made a series of important discoveries today, from this manufacture of professional ultrasonic cleaners. 1) How much brass should be placed in the cleaner: the answer was related to the surface area of the item being cleaned. For the harbor freight unit, it can handle up to 140 sq inches...

Ultrasonics can not remove an oxided layer with mechanical energy, so shiny brass will require a chemical agent (acid) to remove the oxidation. I, too, have been underwhelmed by the Harbor Freight but I see promise. Cleaned 100 still-primed 38spl cases in an 8-minute cycle. With about 200 cases...

Quick note: I had forgotten that ammonia attacks brass, so don't use ammonia or window cleaner! Baking soda, Simple Green, and TSP should all be OK.

AzBuckFever: No worries; good info often gets cited repeatedly.

To those that don't have a store near you; I'm sorry to disappoint you. Like I posted originally, I didn't know if it was just my local store or all brick & mortars, but I knew the sale wasn't for online purchases. ROC1, Macnewbie: You're welcome. The 6mm Bench Rest article that both I...

It's come to my attention that Barricade is not intended as a lubricant (though looking at its components, I'm not sure why not; and at $21/32oz it's well priced). In any case, although not the same as the L&R stuff, it looks like Break Free CLP and Kano Microil are both about $1/oz, are...
