Interesting topic to me since I had the opposite problem with a 16 ga 97. The 97 did not want to eject some shells. The Winchester shells were the worse. The heavier the shell was the better it ejecte ...

Too bad Remington bean counters continue to be in control. They stopped making the SP-10 thinking everyone will buy a VersaMax. They had the only American made 10 ga auto. Maybe the design of it they ...

The cheap Winchester shells with the silver colored rims have given everybody fits. I have an Rem CTI 105, 11-87 and Win model 12 that will not work with them. A really old Rem model 11 12 ga will sho ...

My experience with 800x has been mixed. I tried it for 20 ga and had measuring problems until I increased the charge a bushing or two. After I reached a point the 800x started metering fine. I think ...

This is cool. I thought I was the only one who had a Valmet Lion in 16 ga.

Very Informative thread. My cowboy 97 16 ga with athroated chamber had problems ejecting the super x. hulls. They would often not clear the action properly. I talked to gunsmith who had worked on the ...

I have loaded #1 buckshot using a rem wad and rem 16 ga case only using nine pellets instead of 12.. This was to give my wife a training round to simulate the much more powerful and harder kicking 9 ...
