Re: Fired both barrels

Mike,
Your disassembly instructions made that job very easy. I cleaned about 100yrs of junk out
of there and got her back together. After cleaning I coated the works with Fluid Film and then
blew it out and wiped it dry. Plan to get out this weekend and try it again.
Thanks for the help, John

Re: Fired both barrels

Thanks for the reply Mike,
It's interesting in that my reloads are with Red Dot! I've never had this gun apart
but there is a first time for everything, I'll check it out.
Thanks again, John

Fired both barrels

Had my Sterly out yesterday and it doubled on me! I have to admit I was shooting Kent'sTungston Matrix shells that are heavier than my Nice Shot reloads. My friend shoots them all the time in his SW with no problems. I went back to my reloads and had no problem. I shoot left handed, Do you think I f...

Re: Non toxic shot options

I went through this last year and ended up reloading Nice Shot. It is what RST is using and I have been very happy with it. The stuff is not cheap. The RST price was $75 a box of 25 and you can't reload it much cheaper than that. I had all the components on hand and like to reload but still spent al...

Re: pressure

This is always a good discussion, Does anyone know what the pressure of the AA Low Noise Low recoil loads are?? A friend gave me some when they wouldn't cycle his autoloader in dove season. That kind of info is not easy to aquire from the factory. I load most of my stuff but they would be a quick wa...

Re: Staple repair of stock

Silvers, Thanks for the input. I have not yet joined and have never taken the stock off of a Fox so didn't know what I was getting into. Years ago I did a staple job on a Parker that I no longer shoot. That job went well and I was hoping I could do a little preventive work to avoid future problems. ...

Staple repair of stock

Hi Everyone, I've been lurking here for a long time and I Finally have a question I feel is worthy of asking. I bought a 1913 sterlingworth last year for the sole purpose of hunting ducks. I am shooting Nice shot in low psi handloads and shooting it quite well. It is a joy to shoot. The stock is in ...

Re: Made for slugs???

I've had some English Call Ducks. They are smaller than wild mallards and are VERY vocal.
They are easy to keep and just the ticket for some good shooting!!

Re: Please define LOW PRESSURE LOADS

Thanks again for the input, I have used red dot powder in AA hulls since I started loading and had great success for all my uses. I hunt ducks almost exclusivly but do not shoot long. When lead was legal My favorite load for layout hunting was 1 1/8oz of #7 1/2 shot the same as the trap loads I shot...

Re: Please define LOW PRESSURE LOADS

Twice, I appriciate the input. If I am loading 1oz 12ga shells so won't lower pressure
equate to less recoil? How do you measure felt recoil? Do you think glass bedding
would be a good preventative measure?
Thanks again, John
