    New to Skeet...

    Take what you have and shoot singles or report. Talk to the folks there before buying a new gun. Some fields hulls hitting the ground is acceptable, some fields it is not. That might make a difference in what gun you'll need (not sure if shell catchers are available for all guns). You may...

    NSCA Class Updating

    NWGA. May go to Floyd Co wildlife this week, but not committed. As far as getting rich shooting clays, I gave up on that from the start. It's my son that's shooting most of the clays and he's put a big dent in my shooting and putting away for what may come budget. I spend more time helping...

    NSCA Class Updating

    @George P Thanks for the info.

    NSCA Class Updating

    Anyone know about how quickly I should expect NSCA to update shooter class? The move up would be based on getting a punch on first registered clays. If anyone has some info on this I'd be grateful to hear it. Class will probably make a difference on where we'll want to shoot next. Thanks.

    Case mouths have a lip - once fired .308, what's the cause?

    Is this an X die? The RCBS die that once trimmed to a certain length, you don't have to trim again?

    Beretta 1201 fp police trade in

    I got 3 of the black on plastic trade-ins from a gunbroker seller a few years ago for a little over $300/ea (maybe as much as $350, can't remember exact amount). They looked like you'd expect from a issued gun that rode around in the trunk of a car. All cycled 1 1/8oz 2 3/4dram cheap birdshot...

    Extended Chokes

    Most quail hunting is for flight pen raised birds. Some fly better than others. There's still wild birds around. Most are on power lines, old pastures that haven't been used in several years and some on less maintained pastures. The largest covey I've seen was at least 30+ birds, probably...

    Extended Chokes

    No sir. Current chokes are breaking clays about like I'd expect, actually a little better. IC in this gun seems to break clays harder than IC in a different gun with mobil chokes. Just speculation based on seeing a lot of breaks. I'm wanting to get extended chokes for this gun even though...

    Racoon calling tips?

    Dogproof or live trap as mentioned. A coon won't turn down a honey bun and the cats don't want it. If you use a live trap, smash the honey bun into the pan. You may need to add rabbit wire around the back of the trap to keep them from reaching in, depending on the wire the trap was made from...

    Extended Chokes

    I'm wanting to get some extended chokes for an O/U. The gun uses optima hp tubes. Main use will be sporting, but also some skeet and trap. The plan is to change chokes for a course or type of clay game, not swapping chokes at stations. Carlson's. Good price. Has a LM available...

    Cleaning Bore

    I assume if using a solvent, the choke tubes will need to be removed. Clean with the tubes in, then remove the tubes to clean them and barrel threads? Thanks.

    Cleaning Bore

    Does brake cleaner have any affect on bluing? Thanks.

    Cleaning Bore

    How often and to what extent should I be cleaning the bore of a gun that's getting shot several times a week? Chrome lined, if that makes a difference. Is there a generally accepted rule of thumb that powder residue needs to be cleaned out every XXX rds and a plastic solvent every XXX rds...

    Shotshell Reloading

    I think I know where I'll head on this based on the info here. Thanks everyone.

    Shotshell Reloading

    I'm considering getting into shotshell reloading, but not sure if it's worth the time/investment. The goal would be quality shells at a reduced cost. Currently shooting 200 to 400 / wk, mostly Rem STS 1 1/8 @1145 from chinamart for ~$7/box. I would like the ability to load a similar shell...

    What's the best CHEAP semi-auto?

    I'm looking at getting an A300. I've never shot one, so this is not a recommendation, it's just the direction I'm probably going for an inexpensive autoloader. I believe they're made in the USA.

    Barrel length for sporting clays?

    Baretta barrels are light. 32" balances very well. Make sure you're getting a current production gun with optima hp choke tubes.

    Lube for Tight O/U

    He did pretty good. He shot 10 shells in the yard yesterday evening. Took him twice to figure out how to hold it to not get hulls to the face. Shot four rds of skeet today. Pretty good, but let a few get by. Gal throwing the clays got on his butt and made him cover the hulls and extract by...

    Lube for Tight O/U

    Cleaned, lubed, greased what needed greasing and worked back and forth several times. Feels much better. Thanks for the help gentlemen.

    Remington 700

    Slab cutting a button rifled barrel probably isn't a good idea. JMHO.
