Barrels ring bulge or burst from all sorts of reasons not connected with shot material . I found the Roster article interesting and thought provoking. If people don't want to be thought provoked, don't even look at it.
My own personal experience with shooting steel shot from vintage guns is limited, but it is intriging. I've shot some small shot steel, 7 shot , and about a box of No. 6 from an IC bored 12ga Parker with thick barrels and many boxes of all sizes from my old Mod 1912 12ga with Mod choke and nickle steel barrel. I never noticed any problem, no erosion, no streaking, nothing different. When I heard what Roster was saying about he developed the sturdy shot cups for Remington that fully protected the barrel bore, it became more interesting. That's my experience, others may have different experiences and people will make their own decisions. If a person is tired of the discussion and their headbone is hurting, well, you know, maybe they don't need to read it? Just saying that there are alternatives. |

Well John, You edited someone else's post calling it a personal attack, and then left Bruce's insulting Pigs & Skunks post to everyone reading the (Parker by Peter Johnson) thread to stand without edit... I guess you had your reasons.... Best To You, CSL ________________________ . |

Roster also just said in an article that you couldn't shoot crows with lead shot anymore. Yeah, that's wrong too.....

Very true Bruce but if you had read my post, you may have read that it was #6 steel shot out of a light mod. choke, guess I can't spell it out any better then that.... Was it cheap shells probably with poor shot cup probably, but you come on here and state it is ok to shoot steel through any gun if the chokes are less then full choke and the gun is sound. Bad advice...!

Make no mistake, Chris... You said I "removed" posts? If I "remove posts" - I tell people why... If I "edit" posts - I do so in public - and state "why" for all to see... Careful of your stating how this forum is "Administered", fair enough? Best to you, John |

I've always enjoyed Destry's hunting posts. I think he has a real touch for waterfowling and its history and I appreciate his love for traditional waterfowling and fowling guns.
And Chris, I have always admired your historic photo collection and believe that you two provide positive contributions to the PGCA. Let me know if there is any way I can help either of you. I don't do much waterfowling, but I get some interesting fowling opportunities. Chris, I'm not a collector of old photos, but if I run across something significant, I'll connect you. |
