I like the Deluxe polychoke on my field guns and was wondering if anyone knows if a regular, non-vented polychoke can be turned into the deluxe model by screwing the deluxe top sleeve onto the existin ...

Second on Frontier pads as I've had good luck with them: oil and light rub takes off the rust and remarkably doesn't seem to affect the bluing at all. Steel wool seems less friendly to bluing by far ...

Nice photos of the sage grouse hunt! I did my first hunt for them last week, only a couple of hours, but we found one group and I managed a double on them (they are big!) with my Montana gun, an Itha ...

I use the roll crimpers with a BP vise and like it. Bit of a pain to change gauges but doable, as I roll crimp 28,24 16 and 12 gauges. It holds the shells well,once adjusted, and makes it very sim ...

In Russia, in dry cold weather, they wear all felt boots (Valenki) with rubbers added on the bottom if it's going to melt a bit and get wet. My Beans insulated boots didn't cut the mustard standing ...

Does Krylon resist rust? Could be a good sea duckin' gun....

Well, those ITX loads are mine and I'm going to try them on eiders tomorrow from a couple of hammer Husky's.

It's worked on Old Squaws well enough from Pieper hammer guns, so we'll see...

Well, tomorrow I'm taking my Husky 51 hammer 16 and a Sweet 16 out in the duck boat to drift for Old Squaws with 2 1/2 ITX LP reloads. Have used this on the ocean as well for scoters so if I can do m ...

Holy absurdity!

I've become very partial to slings and most of the shotguns I buy now have them, as well as cheek pieces when I can find them. Have become an afficianado of Belgian and German shotguns as a result. ...

The cutter works well, and had one made for my smaller gauges as well. Find myself compulsive shortening hulls as it's so much fun!

No dove shooting in NJ, but we're going for rails in the old pirogues on the 2nd. It'll be 28 ga. guns, however, one Hungarian hammer, one Spanish for me; an old Ithaca 28 for my buddy.

I've had good success with Nice and ITX in 2.5 inch low pressure loads...as long as I do my part as others so rightly said! Have brought down sea ducks and geese with ITX.

There was a couple of lbs. of PB on the shelf, some 4756 and 7625 as well. Didn't note what was in the big jugs, however. I'm pretty much loaded for the coming hunting season so 4 lbs. of PB and 1 o ...

And many thanks for the tip on Shyda's!!

Drove over to pick up some powder in that heavy rainstorm on Tuesday and returned with enough powder for my hunting needs for quite a while. Nice folks and ...
