Re: Drill and Tap 870
The receiver thins out in its forward section where the barrel flange inserts into the receiver. If you were to mount a full-length picatinny or Weaver rail, the 2 forward screws would likely fall in that thin part of the receiver and arguably not have sufficient “meat” to withstand the recoil of ho...

Re: What's your favorite load?
That’s kinda gun-specific, but overall I’d pick a 2-3/4” load of 1-5/8 oz T-9s out in 12 ga. Most consistent performer, mild recoil and deadly...

Re: Ben Rodgers Lee (Ricky jo Bishops post)
Brings back some great memories. I’d remember more if it wasn’t for all the time I spent with his lead frame calls in my mouth. I bought dozens for 50 cents too. Early on, you had a choice of thick or thin latex. All single reed. Later double. No worries about air channels or trim/cut types. Simple ...

Re: 20 gauge choke
If an 870 with a 26” barrel and pushing >1.5 oz of TSS thru it, I’d take a Remington Super Full (0.572) to the woods. If I was card shooting, maybe an IC .555

I haven't done the trigger replacement so I can't help there. But here's another option if your interested. I've replaced four of mine and it was a big improvement.

Re: 12 ga 2 3/4” tss loads
The first load I came up with back in '06 with the 9s was a 2-3/4" 1-5/8 oz 12 ga load for my brother's old Wingmaster. It was a gun he won in the 80s in a biggest deer contest. Anyway, he killed two with it the next spring in TX that were much farther than polite company will talk about when ...

Re: 20 ga. 1-5/8 TSS vs. Same in 12 ga.
Since originating this post several months ago, I’ve loaded and shot a few 1-5/8 oz loads through my 12’s. Let’s just say I’m back in love with the big bore. Simpler loads, more balanced and consistent patterns than those I was getting by trying to squeeze the same amount of shot through a sub gauge...

Re: Carlson .555 for rem 870 21 inch barrel?
Been down that road. Go with the .575 nonported. .565 and .555 nonported choke patterns in a 21 inch barreled 870 20 gauge were blown pretty bad in my experience. .575 shot lights out. More than tight enough. That’s consistent with my observations of a .555 constriction as well, unless you’re shoot...

Any downside to shooting a short shell in a long chamber? In a shotgun, mind you :oops: How about a 2-3/4” TSS load out of a 3-1/2” chambered 12 ga? With some of the relatively slow-burning powders used in hand loads, might it have implications for wad seal and performance? Other considerations???
