Re: Tss shell to shell inconsistency ?

I have found when shells are inconsistent it is a wad issue most times. Either they are not slit uniformly or the little tabs that hold some of the wad petals together on some of the "pre-slit" wads are left intact when loaded instead of separating them. Sometimes those tabs break uniforml...

Re: Velocity ...fps?

Spheres do not act like bullets. The faster a sphere is driven causes the sphere lose that velocity gain just as quickly.

Re: Hammer Extension for 301T?

I know the hammer dimensions vary greatly between the manufacturers and models. I am wondering if anyone is using an extension on their 301T and which one it is if so. The 301T hammer is not as thick or as broad as some of the other hammer guns I have and the extensions on those are not even close t...

Re: Hammer Extension for 301T?

Beware of hammer extensions. if you mount one, test fire multiple low cost rounds to make sure it does slow the hammer speed below consistent percussion of the primer. I've seen problems when I mounted an extension on my TC years ago. Gil Yes, absolutely. I had witnessed it first hand with my Ultra...

I still kind of want to try another choke, but I really don't have to.
IndianCreek should have chokes mid August

At least I’m hoping so. Would love to take my 410 with a IndianCreek this fall to Kentucky
They will be my first choice.

301T Range session

I put the smallest scope that I had laying around on it which happened to be a CHEAP UTG tactical type scope. Anyway...it worked perfectly. I cleaned the shotgun spotless, relubed , put some antiseize on the choke threads and headed to the range. I did not have any turkey head targets but did have s...
