thanks for posting the pics Mark, that was really a fun way to end the day's shooting

as i told Craig- just imagine a market hunter swinging one of those over and over while filling his restaurant orders

Looks like a lot of fun!

As you can tell from the pic, Craig's 8 GA is bigger than I am. To break that "way out there" clay was really a thrill, even if it was a Hail Mary shot. Thank you Craig and Mark.

Anyone going to open up the dove season with an eight gauge? I visited our local government sunflower field today and would like to find a blind site suitable for my disabilities and the 13 pound gun. My favorite line in the dove field is, "NO, I think you hit that one. Good shot."

Bill dont you have a 10 magnum on a #6 frame or was that someone else ?

I had wondered if anyone has used a 8 ga for doves but since its a migratory bird that may be kind of dicey haha . Then again I wonder if game wardens carry a caliper ?

I have a Herters Model 3 on the bench, but don't know what kind of dies I would need to become a serial resizer. I know, reread all the forum threads. I bolted the Model 3 on to the bench today. It is a real horse.

Tom Armbrust told me RST just submitted 8 gauge shells for pressure testing, winchester clear hulls. He said the crimps looked very nice.
