    16ga.com site

VERY difficult, kept getting a code to join to beat the spammers and it wouldn't accept their own code. Somehow i finally got in only to be told that the administrator would have to give...

    HV loads in shotguns

    Hi. Got lucky over the Holidays and got something I've always wanted to own; a Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen. I've noticed that there's some "HV" loads now out there, "sonic" > 1,400fps. I was curious if some of these could be run through some of our shotguns. Called Browning and got a very nice...

    Browning Auto 5

    Guys, have seen a few over the holidays. Some have a statement "has usual hairline crack in fore end". What's this all about ? Hate to pay some big bucks for this only to have a problem. Was this a design defect? Abuse/Mis use ? What's the fix?

    Browning Auto 5

    Thanks for all the great & timely replies. Ironically the first week end in Dec there was to be a local show and remembered always running across at least 1-2 that i could now look at a bit more seriously. The night before the show got real sick and it turned out to be covid pneumonia. i 'm...

    Browning Auto 5

    So far, THANKS, guys. Slamfire, GREAT videos. I've seen a few by Art, but not these. After viewing I went on his site to see what he "might" have. !!!!!!!!!!. SO many guns, and so little time.... Looks like bidenflation got to them also; the cheapest plain jane was 1350 and the bluing was about...

    Browning Auto 5

    Hi Need some advice from some of you "oldtimers", like myself. At this time of my life i should be looking to dispose of some of my stuff rather than add to it. The Browning has always intrigued me, yet, after 45 yrs in the field never ran across anyone using one. Before i check out, I feel the...

    Browning A5

    Hi Need some advice. Was in the local gun shop today and came across something that i've always wanted; a Browning A5 in 16ga. I've shotgunned for years but mostly in either pump 12 or 20, UNLESS i pheasant hunt, then i use a 16 double. I like a 16 and never owned a semi nor a Browning and...

    New to 30 30 win

    Seeing this post reminded me when i got started reloading 30-30. That was 40 yrs ago. Now, don't shoot it much. Many of the boolits mentioned i used/have in abundance. Anyone interested, shoot me an email. I could part with some nice 135s, maybe 154s, and a whole bunch of 165s.

    Re-sizing .30-30 cases

    Thanks for the replies and even offer of brass, Highland. Like i said, i guess I have too much time on my hands. IT WAS a matter of "Sounds like something I would try to see if it would work out". I was was just being curious as to if it could be done. I also have enough 30-30s on hand not to...

    Re-sizing .30-30 cases

    Awhile back, guided by some articles & then comments on THR, I resized .30-30 brass down to 25-35. Worked out pretty well on a number of different cases ( did it until i finally found new 25-35s) except for some much older WW Super in 30-30 that when resized, the bolt on the 25-35 wouldn't...

    Lee Precision

    Had an amazing experience with Lee Precision this week. With all this time on my hands recently, figured it was time to do some heavy duty reloading. I use a Lee basic 3-hole Turret press that I bought new in 1980. I've had to pull that lever at least 100,000 times over 8 different calibers. On...

    1911 recomendation and experiences

    "In general the 1911 in 9mm is harder to execute properly. Here is a quote from 1911tuner AKA John Travis on the subject. He knows his 1911s more than most of us. I don't agree with him on a lot of other subjects but I tend to agree with him on this one. I own 2 1911s in 9mm currently that are...

    9mm reloading

    Hi, would appreciate some advice. Considering purchasing & reloading my first 9mm. I've read pros/cons, not worth it w/ammo so cheap etc etc, but i'm retired, have the time, & enjoy reloading. Never worked with 9mm before. DO reload for a 1911 /45acp and was wondering if its the same technique...
