Greetings all, Never got into shotguns. I did own one for a while, a pump with two barrels one with rifle sights. Never fired it, not even once. Finally sold it and bought a range finder. GPM.

I'll elaborate, grew up shooting shotguns and air rifles, so have the basics and can make straightforward shots. Air rifles were a good start for rimfire and then centrefire shooting. Unfortunately,...

Yep, I just have more experience being bad with the shotty ;) Have been a pretty casual bird/clay shooter in the past with family. I am no duck slayer but I've always found shotguns pretty...

85gr HPBT Sierra, 80-85gr SP Speer & 87gr SP Hornady all do what you are asking. CFE223 will be your friend for those weights. Sent from my SM-S906E using Tapatalk

I've used a lot of 70gr blitzkings and speer TNT's in my 6mm-204 Ruger at 3100-3200. Anecdotal, but surprisingly the bliztkings have held together enough to punch though pigs at 150-200m. I've not...

I got through 40 firearms in registration on the phone today in exactly 1 hour. So I think they are getting quicker. I still had them stumped with 3 calibers they didn't have in the system. ...
