Stuff

[MarketHunter]

Steve,

I've got what I call a "collection" and that's out on display. Then I've got what I call "the horde" and that's stashed in the closet and under the bed. Anything in "the horde" is up for grabs as far as shooting. There's everything in there from 2 7/8 paper 10 gauge to .410 buckshot loads for The Judge. I shoot paper shells at squirrels, preserve pheasants, and stuff like that. I ain't afraid to put a paper shell to the use it was intended. I did sell some recently though, a full factory 20 box case of Redhead skeet loads in 12 gauge. I bought them for $2 a box at an estate sale and just didn't have the heart to break them up.


Regards,
Destry

When plastic shells came out I thought that we'd gone to hell in a handbasket. They told us that the new plastic wads shot better, but I couldn't figure out why. Plastic shells didn't smell right. I missed watching those wads fly out there. I'm trying to get into loading 2.5 inch brass 12 gauge shotshells. I haven't loaded a shot shell in decades. I want to shoot them in my GH, sounds like fun to me. Anyway I'm stuck with plastic, just like the rest of us.

if you are not loading now, RST make paper hull shells , fiber wads and even a roll crimp version.

Currently I'm loading for rifle/pistol rounds and with my new Rock Chucker it is going very well and I am having fun. I reloaded with an RCBS Jr. press for half a century! I neck resized which meant that often times I could only shoot a round in the gun I had first shot it in, since they resized to the chamber of that rifle. Especially vexing when shooting in autos. With the Rock Chucker it's a piece of cake to full case length resize. Why didn't I spring for one when I was in my 20's?

Shotshell reloading comes later.

Thanx

B&P will deliver low pressure 12ga shells for about $83.00 a case. The delivery charge for RST isn't that great. I have seen them in some stores and a local gunsmith carries them. If you go to any of the bigger SXS shoots they are usually there.

I have successfully increased my "stuff" with a 75th anniversary DU bronze and a Parker print.

The bronze in on an antique Library table in the corner of the basement stuck between a pedastal mount of two Elk and the TV, and behind an antique ice box but it's in a safe place for now. She asked "what are you going to do with that?" referring to the Parker print and I jokenly replied that it would look good in the living room which I knew wouldn't fly. I said it was going to the cabin when she replied it was to nice for that and it would just get ruined there "It would look good in the gun room if it wern't so cluttered" was her reply. No matter where it ends up it's been added to my "stuff" and I like it.
