Thanks William. My bigger problem now is improving my score. I could probably benift from a few lessons. I do slightly better with my 12 ga. than my 16ga. But the 16ga. is more fun.

I believe the Model 5100 may be pre 1949. Our member "Researcher" has a canned explanation of older Stevens and Savage double guns that he may post for you.

The Downrange wad , made in Hastings, Nebraska, is wonderful. I also load 7/8 for target shooting. Just order 16ga cartridges by the case from your local gun shop and you won't have to deal with availability problems, and I have worked out good prices from the store I frequent. All the larger manufacturers make 16ga loads. I like new Federals but lately I've been having so many problems with reloading soft brass that I'm going back to Remington hulls. Most of my shooting is 16ga.

Do you use the Downrange wad in Remington hulls with success?

yep. I was getting expanded brass in Feds and having to pull out too many stuck shells after the shot. I prefer the Feds for shooting but am now in the process of throwing away the Feds after shooting, and that was reloading with a MEC Grabber. Frustrating.
These were really light loads too. I'll still buy Fed 1oz 6shot for hunting loads though and then just throw them away. Its after reloading that the brass is sticking. |
