    Hi everyone, I'm looking into purchasing my first auto-loading shotgun and have settled on a Remington 11-87 Sportsman! I'm having trouble; however, determining if I should get one in 12 or 20 gauge. I know the ammo selection for the 12 is FAR more diverse and available but where I live the...
  2. Bird Hunting
    Hey All, It was opening day of Pheasant season here in Nova Scotia, Canada. No wind this morning , and the birds held super tight in/under the thick vegetation so the scent was suppressed. Birds were also in the rough stuff so we had to work. Once we got a little breeze our luck turned. Also...

    3D printed from PETG and Carbon Fiber filament. I designed these splitters to work with either 12, 16, or 20 gauge un-slit wads. This includes non-tox wads such as the new BP line and old standbys such as the PT and CSD series among others. These splitters turn an un-slit wad in to a 4 petal...

  4. Shotgun ID & Value
    Hi guys. I was hoping some of you might be able to help identify the year and model of a semi-auto Franchi 20 gauge my father passed on to me before he died almost 10 years ago. It's 46" in total length including the recoil pad, which I'm sure was added later. I know it's older than I am (43...

    Hey Everyone, I’ve been reading from this site for some time but haven’t contributed anything yet so I thought posting some specs of my gun might aid the conversations. Make: Beretta Model: 686 Silver Pigeon I Sporting (J686SK0) Gauge: 20 Bore diameter: 16.0mm (.630”) Barrel: 30” solid mid...
  6. Big Game Hunting
    Hi all, this will be my first year hunting in Colorado as a residence. Right now, I'm getting consistent 6" grouping sitting at 100 yards (4" on a bench) with a deadringer 2.5x20mm scope on a 20ga mossberg 500 rifled barrel, shooting federal premium 2.3/4 & winchester 2.3/4 (both are copper...

    Hey everyone, I’ve been doing a lot of searching for ammo for a 20 gauge with 2.75” shells and am coming up empty because I’m trying to find shot for Canada goose in the 1-2 size range. It seems to me this doesn’t exist out there, so I wanted to see if anyone knew of something that I can’t...
  9. Shotshell Reloading
    Hi all, I’m new to the forum here but have been reading plenty of great info. As a upland hunter in northern CA I have gone through my share of shells over the past few years and decided I want to take up reloading shot shells to save some money but also as a hobby to understand more about the...
  10. Shotgun Gunsmithing & Restoration
    Hi all, I was sold an awesome Ithaca 37 Featherweight 20g, 2-3/4”, Full Choke for peanuts. It is not my main gain. Question: could I lengthen the forcing cone so I can shoot 3” shells out of it? A 3” loads / ejects just fine. Yes, I know to never shoot the wrong shell in a gun. Would like some...
  11. Shotshell Reloading
    I want to find the perfect reload just for me. I used to be obsessed with skeet when I was young, but haven't shot in decades. Now want to get back into it with sporting clays. My intention for such a load is very low recoil for sporting clays. As low as I can get it. I'm not feeling...

    New Member Introductions
    Hi, new member from Idaho. I've been on other forums for a number of years, duck hunting chat etc. but I've recently decided to trade in one of my 12 ga shotguns and pick up either a Beretta 391 Urika 2 or Benelli M2 in 20ga. I figured this maybe a good place to find one for sale or trade. Cheers
  13. New Member Introductions
    Hey guys. Glad to find a place where I hope to find some guidance. I’m new to the game. Haven’t loaded yet. Just been getting materials, an educating. Load book shows a lot of Rxp20, sp20 (sp20 s)for loads but I know they’re not around now. What do I use to replace 1oz. Wads? Probably use...
  14. General Shotgun Discussions
    I inherited this gun from my great grandfather and I’m looking to do as much as I can with it. Does anyone know if it shoots 3” shells. My dad said he’s only ever seen them shoot 2 3/4” out of it. Also does anyone know what the “choke” is. I know it doesn’t allow you to change them but no...

    I received a notice from Weatherby that they are rolling out a 20 gauge version of the Orion I. I bought the 12 gauge version early this year and really like the feel of that introductory O/U and use it for upland birds. I just purchased a Browning Citori 20 otherwise I'd be interested in the...
