Your welcome I wish we had good bird hunting here and didnt have to pay a outfitter or hunting lodge a small fortune but I understand everybody has to be paid and the money goes toward land up keep. Also sir what ammo are you using?

Thanks, Steven

Steve, I shoot standard 2 3/4" shells thru my VH, VHE, PH 20 s. I also reload low pressure 3/4and 7/8 loads for higher volume shooting, like sporting clays

Well if the price was right I guess anythings possible. But anything past a bh or bhe is all but past the realm of possibilities. Unless i was gifted one which is highly unlikely. But one of those California 20ga duck guns mentioned in Ed Muderlak's "Old reliable" would definitely be cool. But through this forum I did talk to the current care taker of the bhe on the cover which was really cool.

Thanks, Steven

I shoot reloads. I use Herco, 20/28 powder and 3/4 oz of shot.
On occasion I will shoot Federal Top Gun factory ammo.
During covid I scored a skeet shooters estate sale, 9k primers, multiple 4 pounders of powders, wads, 2 50gal drums of AA 12 & 20 ga once fired hulls, shot and MEC Grabbers in 410,28,20,12 and charge bars & bushings for 500 bucks!

Still an awesome deal none the less depending on which mec reloaders thats easily $3500 all by its own. Not including the drum of powder or the charge bars that arent cheap them selves.

All the machines are very experienced Grabbers, I had to do some parts changing and some adjustments but yes the whole deal was a bargain!
