    Older Shotguns and Steel Shot

    An excellent article in the latest Shooting Sportsman Magazine by Loading authority Tom Roster tells of steel shot "bulging" and "ringing" older soft steel barrels. I personally won't shoot the abomination in ANY of my better older American Classics. In my Remmie 870 made in '94, it's no problem.

    Clay Games Question

    Emberglow, I think that you should visit a range or call and request a puller. Most of the time I can get one for about $5 a round for skeet and trap. One advantage is that you can repeat a particular presentation that gives you trouble and you don't have to suffer the embarrasment if you miss...

    870 12 guage slug bore for upland hunting?

    Fellas, a simple test will save you from spending a wad of cash.Can you say "pattern it". Cylinder bores are fine when shots are close, however, you might want to have the versatility of having screw choke threads installed on your barrel. If you have a smooth swing with your "shorty" barrel...

    Duck Gun?

    Look for an older 12 bore 870 express with 3" chamber and screw chokes. Waterfowling is hard on any gun, but this one is VERY reliable- It will handle ALL forms of non-toxic shot and with the right chokes it will MURDER ducks and geese as long as you take care of it and do your part. I'm partial...

    Is the 16 gauge going extinct?

    I began my shooting with my dad's Remington Model 11 16 bore, in 1962. I have owned and shot 16 bore guns in every action type made. In my opinion, it is the most versatile bore size for all shotgun disciplines with the exception of waterfowling.That being said, I will also admit that the 12...

    Friend needs opinions on elk caliber

    Stay with the .308. Why does he want the upgrade? New toy? Cool magnum? I can relate. I'd consider how often I would need the extra horsepower and the extra expense of a new magnum as well as the care and feeding of said magnum. Examine the motives and I'll bet $ to O that he wants a new...

    Thirty pound bow for white tail deer?

    WA- My biggest concern with the poundage of bow you shoot has to do with penetration. Let's face it. Not all situations in hunting are perfect. You will be limiting yourself severely. Not all of us are Native Americans who had the time and skill involved to track and bag the game. Likewise, we...

    Love the 16? Then where are the shells?

    Grayrock, I buy the Federal 1 oz Game Loads you mentioned at Academy at many Dallas, Grapevine, N Richland Hills, and Lewisville. #7 1/2 are great, $5.49 per box. I have purchased 1 oz Rios at Euless Gun Shop at $6.25 a box , but that was a while back. I also shoot the Rem game loads, when I can...

    16 quage

    Jay, the 16 is not obsolete. I am in the process of getting a BSA 16 bore SxS of Spanish manufacture, and have owned three other 16's, all Remingtons. Ammo is somewhat limited in certain areas, but it is available in most sporting goods stores and is available online as well from distributors...

    Rem 1100 question please

    Milkmaster, the chamber length has nothing to do with the age of the shotgun. If you want to determine the year of manufacture, it may be harder. Unless the owner can verify that the barrel is the original, it's almost impossible, because the blocks of serial #'s are not available. The...

    So i was given a 870 wingmaster...

    River, the best advice I can give you is to keep the gun as is with the exception of purchasing an improved cylinder screw choke. Buddy up with an experienced shotgunner or an instructer at your local gunrange. Go slow until you feel confident with handling your shotgun. You then can decide...
