Just because the gun will close on a 2 3/4" shell does not mean it is a 2 3/4" chamber. Remember, the chamber is sized to fit a FIRED shell. An unfired 2 3/4" shotgun shell is around ...

Took the dogs out this afternoon and spotted a small bird hopping around. We have a "woodsy" back yard with quite a few trees, only a third of an acre in the middle of town. Said to the wi ...

It's a disease I tell ya! I am now up to 4 Huskies. In the last few months picked up a 16 ga 51 with 31.5" barrels IM/F chokes and a 12 ga 310 with 29.5" barrels with IM and oh my god full ...

Well I got out and shot some sporting clays with the 16 ga. Husky. The gun and the load work just fine. Unique at this load level does leave a fair amount of "trash" in the bore, but it pu ...

Just picked up one of these neat underlever hammer sxs guns. My understanding is that the 17 is a little nicer version of the model 20 (some nice engraving and checkered walnut stock instead of smoot ...

Thanks again Citori16. I loaded 50 of the following on a Mec 600 jr.:

Cheddite 2 9/16"
Cheddite 209
17.5 gr. Unique (Mec 23 bushing)
SG16
7/8 oz. #8
fold crimp

Everything fit with ro ...

Citori16, thanks again for the quick response! Forgot to say that these will be target loads, mostly sporting clays. The local courses I shoot don't usually have many difficult or way out there targ ...

I have Husqvarna 17 on the way in 16 ga. with 2-9/16 chambers so will need some lower pressure loads. I have some federal hulls (paper base wad) and new cheddites I can cut down and a lot of the SG16 ...

Thanks guys. I do have a few pounds of Unique. I'll start a new thread looking for options with Unique or other powders instead of taking this one off track.

He did test 2.75", and posted it somewhere... I will just paste his data from his PM to me, and I HAVE seen the Precision test sheet on this, so it is verified:

16ga / fed 2.75" hull

I am interested in the brass hulls. Sent you a PM.

This morning it dawned on me that with the hammers cocked, the back of the firing pins are exposed. So before heading out for work, I took a small screwdriver and pushed on the back of the pins to pu ...

Finally got around to taking the stock off and cleaning and relubing the inside of the action. There actually wasn't much gunk in it. Measured the firing pin protrusion. Best I can measure with the ...

Great pics! Sounds like awesome times.
I love the pic of your dog, what kind is he?
Not pretty, just ruggedly hansome, like your truck! Cool

Ohio, thanks for the tip on the stain.

Well I did finally get out to shoot some sporting clays with it. Shot 50 one ounce Winchester Super-X and 5 Federal shells. The auto safety got me a few tim ...
