A lot of that might depend on how the stage is written with regard to target order and placement. I have been known to load one in the port, fire it, and then stuff 2 in the magazine, racking the slide twice and then dropping the 4th in the open port. Or a variation of the above, especially if there is a popper target.

For shotguns, I had been using 16 grains of Red Dot, the same load my father developed for trap. It was great in my long barrel shotguns, but was a bit stout in the short barrel ones. Then I read about a 10 grain load. Tried it. It's light. TOO light, so I upped to 12. That is still nice and light, but not so light as to be a mouse fart.

Red Dot is a great powder. Seems to be a rare as Trail Boss these days though.

If you can, try one like this... Yes, that is a Black Diamond Trap model. My most recent 97 acquisition and my current #1 main match shotgun. It gets just as many stares for being what it is as it does for having the long barrel. Finish may be ugly, but the action is as tight as I have ever seen on one of these guns.

The only thing to worry about is the chamber length. They used to measure them differently, and even if they are marked 2-3/4", they might be 2-5/8". In that case, either shoot shorter shells, or have the chamber lengthened. If yours are 1950's vintage, they are prolly okay, but I'd still check. Or. well, since I shoot 2-1/2" all brass, it doesn't matter.

"Regular" threads are expressed in so many fractions of an inch. 12 inches equal 1 foot. "Metric" threads are expressed in so many fraction of something called a "meter." It's supposed to be a little longer than a yard. I believe "the metric system" was made up by some French guy.

Isn't that a contradictory term? It's either regular or metric. Not "regular metric."

It's really very straightforward... The only legal pump shotgun is the Winchester 97. It was only ever available in 12 or 16 gauge, never 20, so therefore 20 gauge is not legal for a pump shotgun. Now, it is true that the Winchester 87 was only ever chambered in 12 and 10 gauge, but there is no rule that says that the 87 is the only legal lever action shotgun. Therefore, if anyone were to theoretically make an exposed hammer tubular magazine 20 gauge lever action shotgun, either an 87 or something else, it would be, at least theoretically, legal. Why? Because those are the rules as written. We may not like them or think they should be different, or think they are fine as is, but they are the rules and we "agree" to play by them in this game.

Well, it'll fit .32 H&R Magnum, .32 S&W Long and .32 S&W, but not .32 Long Colt. The dimensions on the Colt are different. It might be "easier" to just get the rifle, forget about the pistol and just enjoy it. Or, get a Colt Police Positive in the caliber. Not SASS legal, but still a nice gun to shoot.

Why? Because I have obtained some ammo in .32 Long Colt, (for free!) and I wish to shoot it! So, I need a gun. And, if I get one of those Marlins, well, I am closer to a complete battery.... Your suggestion to take a .32-20 cylinder and have it sleeved is a good idea. Might be easier than finding one already in the caliber(s). All this makes me wish I'd not converted my Rolling Block to .32 S&W and just left the chamber alone after converting it from RF to CF.

Hi, everyone. I did some checking on the bore size, and that got me to wondering if it might be possible to obtain a cylinder for a 3rd Gen SAA in .32 S&W Long, or even better, .32 Long Colt. I know some fitting would be needed, but this would essentially be a drop in thing that I think would be cool to have. (Ah the ideas that come to you in the middle of the night when the dog wants to go out!) I suppose I could contact Colt, but I have a feeling they will say no.

Okay, I suppose this a somewhat subjective assessment. But I'll be willing to give the proviso, "Worst of the 20th Century." As far as some of the others go.... Grant, I think, get's a raw deal. He wasn't a great president, but he wasn't a horrible one either. A lot of things went wrong in his administration, but I am not sure most of it was his fault. He's a solid "mediocre" in my book, much like most presidents. Polk I really don't know much about, to be honest. He was one in a long line of mediocrity after Jackson and before Lincoln, Buchannan, yeah, he was very innefective. LBJ... Not a good President. One of the worst? It is debatable. Nixon. Nixon again, get's a bad wrap, and any good he did as President is (rightly) overshadowed by the way his tenure ended. That being said, I don't blame him for our present troubles with China. Those, I lay at the feet of Carter for switching recognition from Taiwan to the Communists. Instead of doing this, he should have admitted to reality that there are two Chinas, recognized both of them, and specifically "unrecognized" the claims that they made to each other's territory and encouraged them to do the same.

NO! You can put whatever you want on your HAMBURGERS. Even jalapanos. But you can NOT put cheese on a hamburger. Once you do, it is no longer a hamburger. At that point, it is a CHEESEBURGER. You can put whatever you want on it too. But it is something different.

LOL! But, if pineapple, must also have ham.

Worst President Ever. Fairly decent person. I think both of these are fair assessments.
