Just a word of caution for anybody using CCI shotgun shell primers, they have quite a poor standard of uniformity of depth between the primer cup and the stainless steel firing cap. This can result in partial discharge of the primer and subsequent poor powder ignition or total failure to fire a...

home loads I have loaded PB in 12 bore shotshells, about 20 grains with a fibre wad and 1/1/8 oz. no 7 1/2 shot. Works very well, could perhaps up the amount a little to get a faster muzzle velocity, but have tended to use American select, though not much difference in performance that I can...

Shotgun tracer ammo Thanks for the feedback so far, I think OLDAMVETs idea about adding sparkle to the shot is the best so far, so will try something on those lines and keep you posted. I often see the wad tracking and even on some occasions hitting the clay, but obviously, the shot cloud is...

Lever rifle lover I have been using lever action Winchester and Marlins on the local range for quite a few years now, ever since the government banned semi-auto pistols, so I can vouch for their accuracy ,ease of use and speedy action at ranges of up to 200 yards, my hope is that someone will...

Lever action rifle with extended magazine I am interested in sourcing one of these winchester 95's, does anybody know if they are still available anywhere either new or second hand. mike

Is ther anyone in the States doing this conversion on either a Browning BLR or the Marlin underlever .44 magnum with the box magazine? There are one or two gunsmiths in England who have done some in the past, but none available at the moment. I come to the States at least once a year, so would...

Lever action rifle with extended magazine To any body out there in the USA, does anybody modify either the marlin .44 underlever or the Browning BLR to take extended box magazines. I am in the UK and a couple of gunsmiths have played around with this idea, but nobody has got anything in...
