    Reloading 28ga 16gr Longshot 3/4oz

    Thanks. I'm using the Win209 primer data, and that seems to drop the PSI down to 1275 at 16g.

    Reloading 28ga 16gr Longshot 3/4oz

    I deepened the crimp just slightly, and rattle is gone. :-) Thanks folks.

    I’ll give BP a call; good idea thank you both.

    Reloading 28ga 16gr Longshot 3/4oz

    I’m seeing this combo on the Hodgden loading site? 16gr gives 10,800 PSI, 1275fps, with AAHS hulls. Wouldn't mind being little lighter of a load, actually, as we're working with a couple kids so recoil reduction is helpful. But I'd get nervous dropping down to 15gr or less if this already...

    Reloading 28ga 16gr Longshot 3/4oz

    I'm reloading 28ga, with weighed 16gr longshot, 3/4oz shot, AAHS hulls, and BPSG28 wads. I am getting a decent crimp (maybe a little shallow), but quite a lot of rattle from loose shot. I'm not getting much if any compression on the powder (no register on the MEC Jr. wad pressure gauge). I...

    Goodbye, Johnny Guest

    Sorry to hear this. Uniquely irreplaceable.

    RIP Art Eatman

    Thinking about Art today. Miss his influence around here. Next gen will have to step it up for sure. He's simply irreplaceable.

    Art Eatman, RIP brother.

    Pure class. RIP Art, we'll miss you.

    Old Fuff has passed away

    Old Fuff me purchase my first 1911, learn the platform, swap out a bunch of parts just to learn how it ticked, and walked me through every step. A gentleman and a scholar, and one whose voice will be dearly missed.

    Art Eatman Passed

    Gut-punched, but I'll simply celebrate a life well lived. RIP Art. I hope to walk with you in fields, with your stride full and strong once again.

    Tavor 7 308

    generally agree with your post. The above, however, is just silly. I saw stoppages with a Tavor, for the same reasons you see stoppages with ARs. Bad ammo, poor maintenance, etc. Can be just as reliable as a quality AR.

    375 Ruger

    I'm a big fan of that setup, Legionnaire. I've been lusting over a Z8i 1-8x24 or a Z8i 1.7-13.3x42 for that very reason.

    Tavor 7 308

    Tavors are pretty chunky rifles, with the recoil impulse is straight into the shoulder. I found the recoil to be minimal, and overall liked the design. Trigger was still classic bullpup... can't compare with an AR trigger. Better than some bullups though.

    375 Ruger

    A rapidly accelerating butt stock slapping my face would be more bothersome than a front site post, in my book. But to each his own. I’ve just found that many who think the 375 hit hard and don’t want to shoot it is because of a bad check weld, often from high scopes.

    375 Ruger

    I like the low power scopes on these. But man... get that scope low enough for a decent cheek-weld, or you're going to be hurting.

    375 Ruger

    $300 for a barrelled action in 375 sounds great! With the savings, I'd invest more in the stock. The difference in recoil control in shooting my 375s is night/day, given the correct stock. The McMillan hunter's edge is the lightest I'd go (and I'd put in cross-braces)...

    Model 70 vs Model 700 accuracy...

    the bench rest guys I know shoot single shot, no mag. Much simpler to do this with a M700, rather than mag loading the round every time in a M70. This alone would send me that direction for benchrest rather than a 70. in a mag gun, in the field, I’d want a 70.

    Model 70 weather extreme help

    My Safari was the same way, actually. Tried going with the wood stock, and in the end replaced everything but the action. My EW was an entirely different animal.
