Can't remember the name, Rich would probably know, but they were set up at Mike's shoot in July.

AGC Ammo was the distributor. They are a Turkish shell BP? I don't recall exactly. The distributor is no longer importing them.

No longer importing those great shells? Have you sent any to be tested? Daryl has a 30" Parker 28 that should handle any shells you have left.

I had a similar issue getting a 28 repro to open when shooting those.

The shells were Rick Simmonds and I gave them back to him. They were returned to the vendor who said he sent them for testing. At the end of the day the shell manufacturer blamed the gun. It was NOT the gun.

Ha Ha Bill. Nothing goes through that baby other than my hand crafted reloads. Actually, that's all I shoot through all my guns no matter who made them.

It was not particularly good or bad. Gun wise, I added just a few, but some good ones. I'm to the point I would rather spend money on hunting and fishing with my sons and wife than buy more guns.

I'm with you. My New Year Resolution the past three years has been: "spend more money on experiences and less on things."

This year it lasted fifteen days. A new Perazzi DC20 should be arriving tomorrow.

A lot of my spare change got sucked up by my oldest son's and my tractor projects, as some of you know. Last year we also went to Alaska and did more hunting for quail and ducks which cost some. Yesterday, I booked a pheasant hunt for mid February when I go up to see Harry
