I suggest you come to the next shotgun shootout, and judge for yourself. There is definitely a difference. Its like saying a Ford focus and a corvette are both cars, and will both take you from point A to point B. This would be a true statement, except the ride is going to feel way different. The O/U is really built with a specific purpose in mind, an 870 or 500 pump is built for every purpose but none in specific. Both have their place. Also for about $3500 - $5k you can buy a really beautiful looking and shooting O/U, that will last your lifetime. I wouldn't spend more than that personally. But there are people that drop $100K on custom built O/U shotguns. That's just being eccentric IMO.

If you are hunting on your private property, and your more than 450' from any frequently visited building (including sheds) then even if there is a "no discharge ordnance" then you can still hunt your property with a firearm. Or if you have WRITTEN permission from the owner's of those frequently visited buildings. Towns "no discharge ordnance" doesn't apply to hunting. The game code stipulates that towns cannot pass laws to prevent you from hunting your own property if you meet the minimum safety distances, or have permission to hunt from a property owner. Now the town can stop hunting on township owned property. But not on State property, or private property within any town. Not only that but if someone gives you a hard time about it as a hunter you can press charges for Hunter harassment.

Yeah I'm sure you can guess where the lead I remove is reused. I eventually dispose of it at the range as well lol...

Did you try different brand shells to see if one brand works better than others? I have a gun that didn't like Winchester shells for some reason but everything else worked great. Just a thought.

Was their a Unicorn in this dream like the one Newtonian had?

I had fun, glad to have met everyone and put names to faces. Good turnout as well. Great weather day for clay busting. Cant wait till next month.

I'm a plumber. I pull pounds of lead out of houses all the time with a sawzall. No DEP license required. There is however a led certification to cut out a piece of sheetrock larger than one square foot, in homes built before 78. Because there may possibly be lead paint lol. Hell we can still use lead for cast joints, lead bends for toilets, sheet lead for shower pans, or sweat copper waste with lead solder. Not that I do but, Its approved in the code if we want to. A few bullets is that big of a deal?

I'm bringing my O/U, we'll see if I shaved enough metal off the internal hammer to push the firing pin out far enough on the bottom barrel. Looked good on a snap cap. I should have primed an empty shell and tried shooting it but I didn't have time. If not I'm bringing my Browning semi also, so I'll have something that works. I have plenty of pumps also a few other semi's. but I'm driving my wrangler and don't feel like packing half my safe. If my 20g wasn't in a pile of pieces I would bring it too. Maybe next month.

That's not true, at our last monthly Sussex county federation meeting the main topic of discussion was this issue, with a lot of emotion coming from everyone. We also had representatives testify at the hearings. Could we have more Hunter support? Yes we can, but those in the know are just as outraged as every non hunting gun owner.

I'm probably good for 100 rounds with a t-shirt on. Ive got 6 boxes should be plenty.

Hey how much ammo do you guys usually bring? I found a box and another half box of clays in the garage today score, also a .50cal ammo can with a few boxes of target shells and my shell bag I was looking everywhere for.

Most ranges that rent have the same policy. They don't know what your putting into their guns. Probably an insurance liability stipulation.

Let me know when you list it I may be a buyer. I've been having a hard time lately hiding stuff that I buy. She's on to me lol, luckily she pretty much stays out of the garage.

Lol, I do that during September goose season, one finger free for the trigger the rest are holding shells to drop in when the mag is empty.

I would have "said keep the round, & let me see the barrel stamping neighbor!" lol... Nice of you to help the guy out though. Its so rare these days for people to be friendly with the guy next door anymore.

Pictures would have helped, just saying for next time maybe...

Oakridge firearms, up Rt. 23 from you is the closest place I can think of. He is on the forum.

I must have missed this post,

And I'll add to that if you have a radar detector take out of the window and put it out of plain sight. Illegal to use one in VA.

Your neighbor owns a gun & he doesn't know what caliper it's chambered in?

^^^^^ that's the post that made me think someone was drilling all the way.

I must have miss read what you originally posted.

I'm a fan of Midas touch, and of course the 60, 90, and 120min IPA's
