Re: IMR 4227

Thanks for the reply batsonbe! Maybe a lighter payload 13/16 oz might get it up over a 1000fps?

IMR 4227

Have any of y’all tried to use IMR 4227 powder, for a 3” 410 load? Not looking for load data, just curious if anybody has used it before?

Re: Tennessee Public Hunting

That Catman kid really broadcasts TN as a hot spot in the south. I’d definitely try it out there first. Especially with gas blowing through the roof.

GA changed its laws. Public land isn’t open till April this season. It’s not less crowded either…..

Re: Jebs ported .410 choke

Buddy of mine was trying to get his new CVA Scout .410 dialed in with the jebs choke that came with the gun. .390 I believe. He had some Apex Ninja 9.5’s. I also brought some of my 3” handloads. 9.5’s. The setup wasn’t very impressive at 40yds. Very open pattern. It was barely huntable at 40yds. His...

Re: Stoeger m3020

I’ve had my M3020 for 6yrs. I’ve had the same Carlsons extended .575 in it from the beginning. I load multiple recipes from Hal. It loves multiple 1 5/8oz loads. The past two seasons I’ve been using a 1.5oz load of Hal’s and it’s my favorite.

Duplex Load

I’m going to try to load a 2.75” with TSS 8’s & 9’s. The recipe is Hal’s.

Looking for recommendations on how to load.

Going to make it 50/50 8’s and 9’s.

Load the 8’s first, then the 9’s?

Thanks

Re: Gas and miles driven during Georiga season

My 2003 4x4 Sequoia has a gas gauge that isn't a reliable indicator of gas in the tank. It has a 25 gallon tank. To insure that I don't run out of gas, I keep a notebook in the truck and reset the trip meters when I fill up and write down mileage and gas put in. When I get close to 300 miles on the...

Re: Franchi affinity vs sa-08 vs Stoeger 3020 which one?

I own a Stoeger M3020. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra $200 or so for the Franchi. It's a great gun! Patterns well with TSS too. I get 300's to 330's using a Carlson's .575 with the Big 20XL, Big 20XLS, and Stubby Loads. It's a mean gun. Shot ducks with it last year with a box of #4 Hevi-Metals. G...

A buddy of mine killed a gobbler 5 or so years ago that came in "Yalping" with 3 other longbeards at the end of April here in Ga.

They were acting like winter time gobblers.
