I make 1oz RST equivalent loads with them, cutting to 2.5", roll crimp and 20gr universal. Great load that crushes targets and is deadly on birds. |

Went after turkeys opening weekend with my recurve bow. Brought my shotgun, but left it in the truck. I got a shot at one walking away at 30 yds but just missed. So much fun! I'm going to try a tu ... |

Before going to all the effort to customize my little Belgian boxlock, I thought I'd take it out on the opener and make sure I can hit with it. Got into a few chukar coveys and had a great time. Gu ... |

I don't think I could reload without my roll crimper. Offers so much latitude for load height, pressure, and ease of seeing what shell is rattling around in my vest (by writing on the os card). Near ... |

Wow, that Daly is spectacular!

I've thought often of getting one as a utility gun, but a nice sxs always seems to be the more attractive option. I should pull the trigger on one though. I grew up using them, and they are very eff ... |

This is tangential to the other thread about 16 weights, which got me to thinking, how many of us actually shoot sub-6lb 16's? The 16 mantra of "carries like a 20, hits like a 12" is best e ... |

The truck.
Glad you found a new home for the Husky (& the AyA).
Thanks! The AYA buyer had a financial emergency and couldn't pay, so I guess I'll just keep it for a while. Maybe conve ... |

Wow. I didn't think you'd ever let this one go!
I try not to get too attached to them, no matter how nice they are. I've had this one much longer than most. Change happens. |
