Thanks everyone. Probably going to buy it, just verifying with the seller that the serial numbers match and all is on the up and up.

Question for you Sweet 16 aficionados. I know there are certain years that people like more than others. Found a 1948 model , choked cylinder, that looks to be in really good condition for a good p ...

Anyone have a unique contraption they use to re condition fired shells? Mine are roll crimped...if that makes a difference.

Received most of my components last night and loaded some spreaders with x treme spreader insert. At 20 yards, the pattern is all over the map. Extremely inconsistent and far TOO open.

Anyone have any knowledge of how dogs will react to bears and whether grizzlies think 73 pound GSP's are a nice snack?

I loaded spreader loads with SG16 wads with petals removed and an extreme spreader from BPI with 1oz of 8's and they opened up great in my LC Smith with M/F barrels.
I did end up scrubbing some lead ...

I certainly should hav ...

Since I'm about to load some of my own spreaders, I've been searching and reading all I can about them. Obviously, many of the suggested recipes call for either fiber wads or petals removed from spec ...
