Bair was the predecessor to Pacific. The Pacific 366 was a version of the Bair loader - for the most part all the dies are interchangeable. Hornady picked up the 366 from Pacific and has made very few ... |

It's hard to determine from your post what exactly you were shooting. You're right in saying ISSF Trap (bunker or Olympic Trap) is shot from 3 fixed machines in front of each of 5 shooting posts. Ther ... |

Try the Hornady 16 ga wad fingers. I don't know if they will fit an old-style Mec, but they look about the same. In 16 ga, the only thing in Hornady's parts explosion for the 366 is the wad fingers. |

I converted a 12 ga 650 to 16 ga using the dies from a 16 ga 600 jr. The only thing I needed from Mec was the 16 ga rotating shell plate. The plate is still available from Mec - cost about $22.00. It ... |

I had a 366 with both 12 and 20 ga die sets. I would load 2 or 3 flats of 20 ga shells for my wife's 20. Then back to the 12 ga dies. The 20 ga went out the door with my wife in a divorce. I acquired ... |

Navy FM2 Wildcats had a shotgun start feature. They used a 4 gauge paper shell filled with slow burning powder to spin a starter gear. Spun a Wright 1820 cubic inch engine. I'll bet the load was measu ... |

Inch and a half at 16 is 3 inches at 32 and 4 1/2 at 48. If you think you can hold your point of aim that closely on a flying or flushing bird, then go ahead. Personally I think you shoot open chokes ... |
