Hey guys, coyote season is winding down here in Indiana and im gearing up for turkey. This year I decided to use my Mossberg 835 and found my choke tubes that came with it. I have the usual IC and mod as well as full and x-full. Well upon looking at the full and x-full tubes I noticed the full...

ReloaderFred, thats understandable given that its impractical to outfit every cop personally to a shotgun, so it makes sense. And Virgiana you made mention of getting the barrel bent, how would I go about doing this, as ive heard of the procedure but know nothing about it or what it takes to do...

Wow ReloaderFred I didnt know short barreled shotguns commonly shoot high enough to make it a standard part of training, but it makes since since if you were signing out a shotgun for duty every time then chances are it might not be the same one as before. Which coincides with throdgrain's...

I have a 4' MKII in .357 that was my late grandfather's. With the adjustable sights I am usually able to get 1 to 2 inch groups at 25 yards with factory ammo, even tighter with my handloads. If I were in your position, had the money and knew what I do about what the gun is capable of accuracy...

Well, ive never heard the "aim for belt buckle technique", but given the way things are going I may have too. I am an avid clay shooter and have 3 other shotguns besides this one (super x1, savage 444b, mossberg 835) and none of them pattern like this, not even close to this bad. But then again...

Ok guys, I just recently acquired a new to me mossberg 500 with an 18" barrel and bead sight, ive taken it to the range with me a couple times so far to shoot it. The problem is that at 10 yards, the gun shoots roughly 7-8 inches high, the first time I shot it and didnt even hit paper I was...

Hmm ok guys thank,and I can def see the point of remington wanting to cut costs however they can, I was just curious because just by looking at these rounds you can tell they are a great deal shorter.

So, I just bought 3 boxes of remington UMC 115gr FMJ's ( even tho they shoot low for me, I found a good deal so snatched them up!.) Anyway I got to looking at one box and noticed all the rounds seemed to be shorter than anything ive seen and shorter than everything I had, so I measured them and...

Ok so slower powders will bring lower velocity, which brings higher POI. I am thinking about using some loads from my manual designed for 147gr bullets and see how those work. I'm hoping I can fix the problem without changing the front sight (have a 24/7 pro ds and aftermarket sights are hard to...

So slower powders/velocity generally equal higher POI versus faster powders/velocity? I'm going to try and work up some new loads, but I was already using the minimum charge for both powders, so I really dont know if i should back off either of them by too much. I also have a pound of titegroup...

Ok so quick question for you guys, I recently started reloading for 9mm, but I have been loading .38 and .357 for about 2 years (not quite a newbie but have plenty to learn!). Anyway my question: is it possible to raise a bullets POI by using a slower/faster powder? I ask because ANY 115gr...

Thanks guys, I didnt pay $8, actually $10, but a good deal regardless. Whoever bought them to begin with though only paid $8, thats why im assuming they are so old, just because 50 gold dots today would run around a dollar per round. And ill have to see if they still sell GD's in 50 boxs, the...

Well dont know if this should go here or the research thread, but since this one deals with ammo i'll take my chances. I recently aquired a 50 round box of "new" Speer 9mm 115gr GDHP. They are new and "never fired" haha but I was wondering if anyone could give me a relative age for them. I'm...

Thanks Walkalong! I was wondering why they would send 2, and I googled it to no avail, but thanks for the answer!

Ok, So ive been reloading for about 2 years now, but havent yet had to buy a set of dies until today (inheirited the other die sets.) I bought an RCBS 9mm carbide 3 die set from wal-mart and inside you have the basic 3 dies, however inside a sealed plastic pouch were the seater plugs. Now why...
