    Duck hunting shotgun question...

    I have posted that my personal goose gun is an O?U. Most of my friends that used autos were switching from X-make/model to a Benelli of some sort and praised them. The Sauer SL5 made by Breda was not available at that time but since there is a lot of field knowledge in this thread on autos I...

    Duck hunting shotgun question...

    It is hard not to laugh when one of those big honkers burns in on top of the blind next to you. I have never seen any real damage other than a few full body decoys severely wounded in action.

    Best Factory Ammo for 7x57 Mauser?

    That bullet appears to be similar to other lead free copper tipped bullets available from several manufacturers these days. I am curious if it behaves the same as say a Barnes TTSX. What type of deer? Any recovered bullets or all pass throughs?

    I wish you a speedy recovery with that ankle! You are a far more accomplished rifleman than I am and judging from those results I wouldn't change a thing!
