I use Briley for the most part, as I’m in TX as well. I do have a m12 20 gauge at Simmons, but this will be my first time using them. |

Herters foam decoys. I love the 72’s for divers. Can’t beat the durability and simplicity. I enjoyed being able to repaint my decoys every other season or so. |

It is safe to use. I primarily use hevi bismuth for ducks in my Belgium Brownings. Hard to find this season. I would buy it up. |

I’m still looking! I see these guns all the time, but once I decide to buy one, a decent one can’t be found. I’ll throw in a 500 count of CB100-16 with the purchase. |

boon hogganbeck, you sound like me on every shotgun forum to exist. Kent upland, hevi-bismuth upland (20/16 ga) and boss 20 gauge in 2.75 bismuth, I believe, have been put on the back burner. If I h ... |

I’m interested in replacing an early field style “perch belly” stock on a model 12. I would like to stay as close to original as possible. It’s been difficult finding anything used that isn’t cracked ... |

If you are ever looking to part ways with one of those, I would ... |

I went with the 3/5’s for this season, as they were out of the other loads and I didn’t want to risk being empty handed come November. I’ll report back with performance. |
