2024年4月3日 · I used my 20 gauge Sizemaster to deprime, reprime, drop powder, insert wad (with part of the cushion section cut out to allow for 13/16 ounce of shot) and drop shot. I used a 28 gauge MEC Super Sizer opened up to size the 24 gauge brass and to hold it securely in position on my drill press table while rolling the crimp with a GAEP roll crimp head.

2012年8月25日 · Oh, already running a 10-gauge and its good fun. Finding the place to shoot is also not a problem in my parts and I've yet to get bored with any big-bore. Granted, the odds of me finding a 4-bore in this country in shootable condition is slightly better than winning the lottery which I don't play. By the way, not all 4-bores were boat mounted.

2008年3月30日 · A British 4 bore was 1.52 inch diameter and shot a 3 ounce ball. The Belgium and French guns were 1.06 diameter and shot a smaller ball. To further confuse this, today's 4 bore is .935 inch and the shell measures 1.025. Also, 4 gauge guns were offered in various chamber sizes including 2 3/4, 3, 3 7/8 and 4 inch.

The Russian KS-23 4 gauge shotgun is a destructive device for its bore size, but also at the same time some legal versions of it made it into the United States. Ideally I'd want something similar to the KS-23 or a break action double barrel, even single barrel, but I keep hearing conflicting statements regarding its legality

2024年10月30日 · The 20-76 tells you that you have a 20 gauge with 2 3/4" chambers. 1100Kp/cm2 is the proof pressure. Also, no steel shot proof marks. We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

2024年11月1日 · I'm attempting to load 3/4 ounce of HW 7's in a new factory Fiocchi 2 3/4 inch hull. I've set the crimp height so that the Cam Crimp Punch sits inside the crimp of a Winchester factory 2 3/4 inch lead load with the Mec Sizemaster press handle all the way down. So the crimp height is in the right ballpark.

2022年8月18日 · For shooting coyotes with 12 ga 2-3/4" loads there are much better lead shot sizes than Number 4 buck. There are only about 27 pellets in a 1-1/4 oz load of lead number 4 buck. lead BB shot has about 64 pellets in 1-1/4 oz of shot. lead BBB shot has about 54 pellets in 1-1/4 oz of shot. lead T shot has about 46 pellets in 1-1/4 oz of shot.

2024年12月25日 · It’s not so much a “twist to fit”, or just “trying something different” either. The 28 is a legetimate gauge for hunting. One ounce of #5 lead, at 1300 fps, is one ounce of #5 leaf, at 1300fps.Regardless of the gauge of gun it comes from, the same number of pellets are going down range. I use a 1-1/4 ounce, #5, in my 12ga.

2025年1月9日 · The 16 gauge, IMHO throws 3/4 oz. thru 1 1/4 oz. of shot very well. It is very capable of being a decent target cartridge up through killing geese over decoys and turkey very nicely. When Remington reintroduced the 870 and 1100, they didn't change anything about the receiver and put a 16 gauge barrel on a 12 gauge frame. 16 gauge 870's and 1100 ...

2024年12月3日 · Hard for chamber pressure BY ITSELF of any reasonable load to harm the furniture. I've got an old 12 gauge Remington 1889 hammer double that has handled 2 3/4 dram 1 1/8 ounce black powder loads well. And a handful of old Ithaca hammer doubles from the 1920s that have shot 12 gauge target loads just fine. good luck, garrisonjoe
