    Ive got a bunch of lead #2’s….

    They do...but not for us. Ironically both Win. and Federal make lead magnums (2's and BB's) for sale in Australia. They use for fox/other predators and for hares...so I've read.

    Hevi-Hammer Upland load

    What this load is trying to do is make their customers forget the product below that actually had 'hevi-shot'. Previously it was a duplex offering of steel and hevishot. This was a cult favorite for a lot of guys I knew for years. They bought it by the case. I've never had a lot of use for...

    Ive got a bunch of lead #2’s….

    They were great hulls...when they were going out I bought up a ton (more than I'll ever need) from BP. Between 12, 16, and 20 ga hulls I probably have about 2000 hulls. At least 1000 in 16 ga. alone. I never wanted to run out. Now in my 50's...might be buried with them. Aspirations of a younger...

    Benelli 828 U

    Shot one once at a game fair a couple years ago. Thought enough about it...not to ever think about it again. I've own 'B' guns, SKB's, and Rizzini O/U's. I have good things to say about all of them. They each have their strengths. On this Benelli O/U attempt, first thing I noticed was the...

    Shot a whopper pheasant

    Funny...this happened to a springer I had just out of college named 'Pete'. He was a great dog. Retrieved ducks and geese just as enthusiastically as pheasants. Not kidding...water retrieved geese. Anyway, he got spurred his second season pretty bad. Cut his mouth up fairly good. After that if a...

    From Brookings County Wildlife Federation on ...

    This isn't the first time we've seen this. The instinct to shut it down is understandable. But it's not a solution. You can't stock pile pheasants. Spring weather and nesting cover quality will do more for next year's pheasant population than any effort we make to limit rooster harvests until...

    Shot a whopper pheasant

    By golly...he is wearing gloves. I had removed mine as the retrieve was being made. Was fixing to "offload" some coffee from earlier and, as stated, the bird looked dead. Only offered the pics as pertinent to subject matter. Certainly I consider you a stout, battle-hardened, rooster battler.

    Replacing a stock on a Browning Citori

    Not to be a wise-guy...but the internals look pretty damned good for the age. (y) to Browning and/or the care you gave this gun. Not to hijack...but: To anybody looking for this kind of stock work...just want to say that I had a VERY HORRIBLE experience with 'Wenig Gunstocks' in Lincoln MO. I...

    Shot a whopper pheasant

    Yep...and spurs don't need to be as big as Bob's bird. Here's what a rooster did to me yesterday with spurs not in the same class. Damned thing looked dead when my springer was bringing him back...but threw a fit when I took it by the neck from the dog. Bird went bat-crap crazy...kicking and...

    Shot a whopper pheasant

    Growing up, we used to have various "long tailfeathers" contests here in SD. Pretty much a thing of the past now. Unlike Bob's bird...a lot of those 30"+ feathers ended up being from game farm breeding cocks that were actually still alive in a pen somewhere. In my experience, from my 1st season...

    Shot a whopper pheasant

    NOT!...a rookie bird. If no one had hunted that patch for years, he obviously picked just the right hideout. His last thoughts probably were: "HEY!...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY DOING HERE!"....bang! Heading out right now here in SD...ironically into the cattails as well. Gawd it's an ugly...

    Sold Reloads?? Should I say something?

    yep...made a lot of purchases from Mack's over the years. This isn't their usual M.O.

    Sold Reloads?? Should I say something?

    If I missed it above, I'm sorry...but could you identify the vendor you purchased these from. Depending on your outcome they'll certainly not make my "do not buy from" list.

    Most Unusual Double

    Not a 'true' double species...but when I was living in Iowa in the late 90's I hunted up to a creek bed for pheasants. When I topped the bank a pair of gadwall flushed. Took the first duck, swung on the second...at my 2nd shot a rooster flushed about 5 yards to my right. I was able to turn and...

    Sold Reloads?? Should I say something?

    Those aren't even good reloads!...in fact the person that put them together doesn't even know how to adjust his reloader for crimp depth or taper. I would absolutely send pics of these to the seller. I would be furious and I've got to figure there is a legal issue at play here. God knows what...

    Benelli M2 - Problem!

    I have two Retay guns myself. I've owned half a dozen Benelli guns over the years. 3 had issues...one BUL in 20 had ejection issues...one 'Monty and one SBE' both suffered from "THE CLICK". Yes...these issues were fixable. But the Retay's have been perfect right out of the box. My 3 1/2" Masai...

    Ruger Gold Label

    I have handled one...once...at a clays course in Iowa years ago. Never shot it. I was slightly intrigued as I do like a SxS. But...the Gold Label had trigger issues, barrel issues (poor barrel regulation), poor choke fitting. They were 'drilled' less than true into the barrels. Patterns...

    Looking into a 16 side by side

    Well, to cheesy, "who the heck really knows?" The 'Italian Firearms Group' and the F.A.I.R. site list both the 12 ga. and 16 ga. Iside at 2.9 kg./6.39 lbs. SO...if these guys list them at the same weight then the frame must be the same. The physics I took in college essentially stated that two...
