    Disappointed in Hornady SST 20 gauge slugs

    SST's didn't group well in my Mossy 20 either..after testing many loads i discovered that the sabot separation for sst's was eratic leading to large groups.....remington accu-tips and winchester partitions would always separate around 10-20 yards downrange in...

    velocity drop in going from 20" to 18" or 16" barrel in 308?

    IMHO i think your choice of ammo has more effect than barrel length...i'am a big fan fan of short barrel rifles...years ago and many deer later my 18 1/2" Rem 742 with CoreLock's proved to me that with the right ammo short barrels will do the job out...

    Remington slug barrel sight base question

    Light Weight Rifle

    The TC Contender is a great idea for a confined wheelchair.. my brother has one in 7-30 Waters...very handy for shots out to 100 yards on whitetails. with a TC scope it goes about 6 lbs-6 1/2 lbs with strap.. ammo is a bit hard to find..it is very...

    Whats your age group, and what do you carry?

    IMHO you have made a good choice on the 442.. In 50 years that revolver will still be reliable,,can't say that about the magazines in my 1911's, BHP's, Sigs, Glocks and Ruger's ...that 65-3" is a real Gem. to carry..had one but traded it for a 2 1/2"...
