Saturday I hunted at my uncles place the shooting was slow I only killed 3 doves that morning...but Monday was a different storey...it was a nice 80 degrees with a good breeze blowing..i used my old Remington 1894 b grade 12 ga used federal no 7 1/2 s...had my limit by 9.00 then we cut out to aspring were we fixed the doves for dinner the boys wrapped them in bacon and a strip of cheese very good eating...we also had barbeque chicken baked beans and good oldcountry gravey polish hot sasage....to much to eat....had a great time seeing old friends and new friends.... used my old stevens 32 inch 12 ga that evening kicked so hard I could not hit very good so much for that dove gun it want see no action on doves again...I was shooting the same load as the Remington gun and I bet the stevens out weighed the remy by 2 lbs...these were 3 drams 1 1/8 ounce...now the stevens has been rechambered to 3 1/2 inch would this have caused the kicking problem...I think maybe it was the way its stocked I don't no....any way had a good time glad hunting season and cooler days ahead....keep your powder dry...charlie
