Hopefully my GHE and G both with 36” barrels only made a small dent.
3 or 4 more and I am out of Big Bore shotguns. Then start working on Rehoming my Big Bore Rifles.
For dome reason I have become a little recoil Sensitive. Not sure why but possibly the same reason a 5 gallon bucket weighs 2 to 3 times heavier than they used to weigh 15 years ago.

Shotguns haven’t bothered me to much lately . But the rifle thing at the bench I gotta say again the 222 , PPC and 260’s with heavy barrels are a great deal more fun to shoot now . I still like working up loads for the hunting rifles . But for just shooting groups to be shooting groups I’ve got six HB rifles that are very light recoil if at all . Which kinda has me halfway looking for a Remington 40X or a Shilen DGA in 222 and or 6x47 REM . I’ve got several boxes of new Federal 6x47 match brass in case I find a 6x47 . Far nicer then having to make it from 222 Rem Mag .

Some friendly advice Phil - stay with the small bores for quial, woodcock and grouse.
