I'd like to sell my 20 ga SKB. It has 26" barrels, 3" chambers, auto ejectors, barrel selector on safety. Comes with factory skeet, improved cylinder and modified chokes, plus a matched pair of Briley skeet chokes. It's in a very nice hard case. Fired only a few boxes of shells, as new in...

I made my annual trip to Academy Sports to buy a years worth of ammo during their August sale. This year they had Winchester @ $4.49/box, $44.90/flat of 10 boxes. I loaded up a grocery cart of #8 Winchesters, then picked up one flat of Federals @$4.99/box because I wanted some 7.5s for late...

I ran across a piece of 1/4" plywood I had used to hold a piece of paper for patterning. It was shot with a 20 ga Remington 7/8 oz #6 shot 1225 fps. 30 yards through an IC choke. 7/8 oz of #6 should be 196 pellets. I count 157 pellet strikes on the plywood, but it's only 24" across the...
