I just read up on the Boss Shells, and they look great. Only problem is buying them. They do not ship to Alaska. I might have to send to my Arizona brother, go visit, and bring back as airline...

The reason for this gun choice is the stock drops more than an 870, or a new Mossberg I bought a few years ago. When I put the Stevens to my shoulder, I am looking down the barrel dead on with...

This shot gun has no screw in chokes. Looking up this model it was made in 1979. One barrel is .710 and the other is .695 After looking up the cost of bismuth shells, is there any other type of...

I like the looks of the Saeco 081 mold. What alloy do you use to get it up to 200 grains, what size are they when dropped from mold, what are you lubing with, and how fast...
