Re: Gauges and payloads Jolly Bill 03/19/24 03:44 AM
Back about 11 or 12 years ago when I started shooting Sporting Clays and Skeet, I used standard factory 12 gauge target loads - 1 1/8 ounce.

I got a super good deal on a 12 gauge MEC Sizemaster and started loading my own. I downsized to 1 ounce and then 7/8 ounce and then 3/4 ounce. I then went one step further and started loading and shooting 1/2 ounce 12 gauge loads. I had them tested by Tom Armbrust 9 years ago this month. Pressure around 6,000 psi and the speed is about 1350 fps. Been shooting 1/2 ounce 12 gauge loads ever since at the rate of about 4,000 per year.

For Skeet and the Sporting Clays course at my club, there isn't a target thrown that can't be broken if you hit it. Correct, it doesn't smoke 'em but they do break if you hit them.

The old gents that I shoot with don't keep score and no big deal if you miss. More of a social event than a shooting event. I don't hunt anymore.

And I don't mind getting twice as many loads out of a bag of shot. I do shoot 20 gauge too and hand load 1/2 ounce in that gauge also.

One of our club's top notch trap shooters usually goes 25 straight in trap. I had him shoot a round with my 1/2 ounce loads. He broke 24 and didn't know if that missed bird was the ammo or him. He was delighted with the lack of recoil. Me too!

I would @ least measure it. Interesting that the bore diameter seems to be missing. Can you make a stab @ the diameter?

There's a new one up. Ian Sweetman. Most of my shotguns and all of my rifles and pistols are older than he is. Thoughtful bloke.

I love this series.

Re: Changing load components Jimmy W 03/18/24 10:34 PM
I always used International Clays. If I remember right, I used about what was similar on the label- 7/8 oz. Claybuster Wad, 14.2 gr charge in Gun Club hull. About a 1200 fps load. And whatever shot you want. It makes a nice skeet load.

Found this on the Horton & Sons website. It clarified a few things for me. Might be of interest to others.

Re: Lead ban in Minnesota? ChiefAmungum 03/18/24 09:19 PM
So here we be.

You can have an argument that has merit. I think that no tox for waterfowl has that. Ducks are not Pheasants, are not Grouse, are not targets. Different needs as far as protecting anything related. The game, the environment, the kiddies. To ban lead for upland hunting is not necessary, period. The upland bird feeds wholly different than waterfowl. Lead is very stable and naturally present in quantity in a lot of places. Just don't pulverize it or vaporize and breath it you'll be fine. It will just lie there. And if you eat a bit I'm sure you'll survive it unharmed!

Why then are the only carrion eaters that get airplay Eagles? Do not Crows and Vultures eat gut piles? Are they suffering?

The problem is that once an idea, which might have merit takes hold someone with an agenda will pick up the ball so to speak and push forward, with their own agenda. Someone like the aforementioned Jen.

Tim, I would agree with that. The Royal Armouries have a fine library and I have contributed to it in the past. Better to go for all to be able to use. I would say to anyone wanting assistance from the library there is that they are very, very helpful. Lagopus.....

Re: Beesley Single Trigger ksauers1 03/18/24 04:27 PM
Regretfully I’m going pass on this gun , besides the fact single triggers just don’t look right. lol. Yesterday I had a chat with my gunsmith and a very respected bloke from England and neither were complementary on single triggers on a 100 year old gun.

Re: krieghoff TRUMPF Drilling parts Der Ami 03/18/24 03:08 PM
Terry,
I gave you a suggestion on your other posting above. The locating pin in the insert barrel might be repaired by refining the damaged area, if not, it can be replaced. The firing pin can likely be annealed, straightened, and rehardened. If not the old one can be used as a sample to turn a new one. The top lever springs in German guns are often pretty much standard and springs from other guns are often close enough to be modified to fit. I have a German single shot "tip up" rifle that came to me with one side of the spring broken off. As a "stop gap measure" I "jammed" a broken leaf of another spring from my junk box into the "v" of the broken spring. I haven't had a need to make a correct replacement after 30+ years of use(this depends on where the break is).

Re: NEW MEMBER WITH KRIEGHOFF Der Ami 03/18/24 02:27 PM
xkkat,
The repairs you need are neither particular to Krieghoff or especially difficult to accomplish. I suggest you turn the drilling over to one of your excellent Australian gunsmiths for repair. I am certain you will be pleased with the results.

The buttstock is very plain on the public side, off side is gorgeous. I don't like that.

Re: Rook Rifle Reloading Tool Argo44 03/17/24 05:44 PM
I believe paradoxically that Berdan primers became predominant in Europe; Boxer primers in America which might explain the Remington Cartridges. Berdan patented his primer in America in March 1866; Boxer in UK 13 October 1866. How this juxtaposition came about, which persists to this day, is history to be explored.

Re: I have posted this to warn others about this fraud 1916XE 03/17/24 04:43 PM
There are a few things to learn from this:

1. The good point on red flag-NO RETURN
2. Communicate with your wife
3. If it looks too good to be true...or too $$$.

I no longer buy guns on auctions, but I will contact the seller privately-
especially if he is like Leroy Merz in MN. Or of excellent similar character.

Same gun and case with a changed label for my money. The difference in picture quality covers the possible detail discrepancies I`d think.
