Once in a while, they will have a "full choke contest" for fun. Really separates the good shooters. I lose badly

I dont have any #9. I have 7.5 and 8

I shoot 1-1/8 oz 12ga loads, skeet chokes. Is there any practical difference for informal skeet shooting?

No, Im not doing that. Thanks though. Seems like I have a few good ideas to check out.

I'm not removing live primers. It's the pop when the crimp lets go.

Cool idea! Im gonna look into that!

No, but I cringe when the POP. I'd rather not mess with that anyway. I dont mind doing them by hand.

I'm going to make a block for removing crimped primers and use a punch and a hammer. I need to buy a punch. Anyone know what diameter the flash hole is? Thanks.

Is there a simple trimming tool that can be used in a drill motor for simple, cheap, apartment house reloading?

Have you ever noticed that keeping rimfire ammo in your vehicle for extended periods can cause misfires? I believe it may be from vibration in the priming compound.

Do you use the "blue shop towel" paper towels as patches? I'm told they work well and saves on buying patches. Also, How do you get patches to fit tightly in large bores like 12 and 10 ga? I have been wrapping patches over under sized brushes to use like a jag. Not quite the handiest thing to do.

Many of the gun oils I see on the market are quite thin, almost watery. I would think that would make it run off of the area where it was applied. Im wondering what really is good for a lube oil, not just rust preventative, a somewhat heavier oil or is thinner oil better. I normally use a...

Yes, exactly.

I'm wondering your experience with this product. It was highly recommended to me by an old gunsmith i believe to be one of the best. I would have to order some so I wanted to ask about it first. The search didnt seem to help.

If an old double barrel shotgun is marked as a "NON SHOOTER" in a gun shop but seems to be in good working order would it be reasonable to test it (remotely) with moderate black powder loaded shells? There have been some guns I really would have liked to have but not as wall hangers. I load...

Can anyone recommend a brand of cotton swab (Q-Tip) that won't pull apart as soon as you try to use it on a gun? I bought some on long wooden sticks that looked good and were advertised for gun cleaning. As soon as I used one, the fibers all pulled out and made a mess in the gun. Doesn't have to...

Why is the 870 20 ga so difficult to get to reassemble? My 12 ga guns are all a snap. No problems. My friends 20 was a royal bitch. I had to take it to my gunsmith. Not sure what he did but he got it.

Found a 10/22 stainless synthetic on the used rack. It was very dirty but I got 'er cleaned up well and slicked up. I have no one i'm afraid of though.

I have been very fond of the T/C Hawken for many years and still look for them on the used racks. I have refurbished a couple of them. They are good shooters. I also like my Omega with the silver finish and synthetic thumbhole stock. I hope some god company buys them and restarts production.

All of the answers given are good, however this one is the one that means the most. Working up your best load is up to you, your loading technique and the materials you choose. Get a notebook and notate the results of your shooting at the range. Try to do everything the same and change one...
