    Threading

    Looking at getting my .223 Rem 700 threaded. What is the average length of threads from muzzle of barrel to barrel shoulder. I've heard 0.500" to 0.600" is there one standard length of threads. thanks

    Mossberg 590

    110 year old Win 97 and it just keeps going. Even does good at trap & skeet. It is a nice HDG also. The 590 is nice as well as the 870 but when I saw this I had to have it.

    Shotgun Picture Thread

    My 1910 model 97 Win. Riot gun. Someone had totally refinished it before I bought it and that's ok. I didn't want a newer tactical style. This is my HDG.

    Going to reload 20 ga at a friends place and I have Federal once fired cases, Win 209 primers, 25lb of 7 1/2 shot and 2lbs of Unique powder. This will be used for trap and Sporting Clays, nothing serious. What kind of a powder & shot load should I use with what I have. Will be shooting the...

    Home Defense

    Found this little beast of a shotgun. Looks like it was professionally refinished. It is a solid frame 97 Winchester 110 years old. It will set in a corner for a HDG if needed. #4 BK should do just fine. I did take it out and shoot a round of trap with it. Great shooter.

    Trap, sporting clays & possibly field??

    I'm 73 and got into trap and sporting clays in 2019. Would like to find a good multi purpose 12ga O/U or SA 28 or 30". Probably more for the clay pigeons as I do have a 870 for the field. Need something low recoil, (bad shoulders) I'm a lefty. Been shooting a Citori but LOP is to short and...

    Speed FPS

    Shooting Hornady 75gn BTHP with 23.4 gn of Varget in a 7.7 twist 26" Bartlein 223 varmint barrel and avg 2845. This speed is over what max loads are showing with more powder. At what point if there is a point is this to fast or a barrel burner.

    Rem 700 ??

    Having a heck of a time trying to figure out this rifle in the blue book. I think it is under the Model 700 BDL 223 Custom Delux but not sure. Typical American walnut high gloss finish Monte Carlo stock, high polished blue finish 24" standard barrel. Date code is 1987. No sights. or maybe his...

    Brass weight

    Thought it would be a start load as Hodgen start load is 39.0 gns & I used 39.8. Guess will have to drop 1 1/2 or 2gns. will do H20 weight to see differences. Was just kind of curious as to what case weight was with different Mfg. I've been reloading since 1971.thanks
