I tried to find a used one. While I was looking, a well used one came up on eBay. I thought the price was ridiculous compared to a new one.

As stated before, the Sizemaster is easier on the shoul ...

I also am new to 16 ga so I bought a new Sizemaster. I had previously switched to the Sizemaster from a swedging reloader for 20 ga because it was tough on my shoulder, as noted above. Very h ...

You're probably right, but - if the targets continue to break - that's good enough. Life is short.

After a long, pleasant talk with NIck, he convinced me that it does not matter that the stitches on the DR16 don't break. It does not effect the pattern.

Oh dear, what is an OCD engineer-gone-bad ...

I fired five shells from each barrel to check my aiming point. The aim point and pattern were satisfactory. At this point, I am going to go silent. This discussion has all of the earmarks o ...

I informed the distributor (Precision) of the problem with the stitching not breaking. They were unaware but immediately went to verify. I wrote the manufacturer but have not had a reply.

As has ...

I wonder why they do it? It certainly increases their mold making costs. I've seen up to 15 cavities marked in the bag I am using; there are probably more. There must be a difinitive reason ...

I am shooting 3/4 oz. in Cheddite 2 1/2" hulls, DR16 wads with a .028 over-shot card at 1,200 fps in a Winchester Model 21, skeet 1 and 2, with 26" barrels. Examining spent wads, I find tha ...

I am sure, AmericanMeet, that 3/4 oz. will calm it right down. 3/4 is what I normally shoot. I am about to order a MEC reloader, so scarce that it will be dropped shipped from the factory. In the m ...

I prefer the Sizemaster because it puts less stress on my shoulder when it comes to resizing the brass/steel of the fired hull. I currently have a 9000 for 12 gauge and a new Sizemaster for 20. The ...

I think the gun fits well. I shoot gun low (on the hip) and it comes to position very well. It is a 6 1/2 pound gun shooting effectively a 12 ga load with no ...

Thanks!

For my 12 and 20 gauge loads I normally use 3/4 oz at 1175 to 1200 fps and am looking for a recipe that would produce that with the Fiocchi hulls that I am generating.

I am a new member and this is my first post. I received, as a gift, a pre-war Winchester Model 21, straight stock, two 26" barrels: skeet and full/mod. Had good success on the skeet field in t ...
