Griff Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 What do you put on your shotshells to make them easier to shuck out of your SxS'S? NOTHING! Just polish the snot outta the chambers and use smooth sided shotshells. Some use a wax or light coating of a lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texita Draw SASS#77940 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 For me it is mostly honing the chambers really well. I usually give my AA or STS shells a lite mist of Tire Black from WallyWorld. I think it is mostly silicone. Biggest thing is the chambers.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Baikal with just the chamber mouthes smoothed, chambers as provided. Keep the gun barrels as close to hoizontal as possible, maybe slightly muzzle up but not a lot, and with a short, FaST jerking motion, jab the gun back maybe 6" or so and STOP abruptly. That stop is what allows the hulls to keep going and clear the gun. Done properly, the hulls fly over the crook of yer elbow. No long motions, no slow to get moving, slow to stop motions, just a quick jab. Then STS or AA hulls as made, no mouse milk, will fly right out even after 10 or more stages between swiping the chambers to clear any residue. Deuce posted a great vid showing the shucking motion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 What do you put on your shotshells to make them easier to shuck out of your SxS'S? I use nothing on my shells or shotgun.. My chambers are honed (polished) I use AA's fer loads.. smooth sides... brass base.. (important brass base.. others will swell in the chambers) When the replies say to polish/hone the chambers.. I don't really think they mean to a mirror finish inside.. I believe that would make them stick easier... I used a brake cylinder hone and then again with 0000 steel wool.. and just increased the area a little.. When ya look inside.. you'd say.. those aren't polished... cause they still look rough.. but it works.. Rance thinkin' the rest of shucking shells is manual labor on the line Edit... I've shot on posse's that had 2 great National winners on it.. husband & wife team.. I know them personally, they both shoot SxS's.. they'll help you any way they can.. They swab their chambers with a swob and balistol at the end of every stage.. They have national champions belt buckles.. I don't ... might be something to that.

Captain Bill Burt Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I don't use anything, just featherlites and keep the chambers clean. One of my pards sprays a little ballistol on the tips of his before each stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeker, SASS #43022 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 What do you put on your shotshells to make them easier to shuck out of your SxS'S? Well, to make shotgun shells shuck easier - You have to make some observations and then modifications to the SxS. First - You have to get the right shells and maintain cleanliness to assist with positive shell "shucking" Second - Your barrels should be PERFECTLY aligned with each other to avoid shell binding during the shucking motion. SxS barrels are slightly askew to make them impact at the same point, this variance in angle as applied to the receiver means your rearward shucking motion is being unequally applied to both barrels depending on your dominant hand. Third - Your shucking motion should be driven from the force of the forward hand snapping the gun rearward. Too many shooters try to use the rearward hand to deliver that impetus to the shells. Now that we have noted the issues, how do we correct them? Proper shells are the easiest fix. Smooth sided shells, either Winchester AA or Remington STS shells will deliver the smoothest performance. Barrel alignment is very difficult, if not impossible. After years of tinkering and adjustment trying to maintain same point of impact for dual barrels while minimizing barrel angle offset, I finally settled on a central singular tube design that can be perfectly aligned with the receiver which eliminates barrel offset and angle variance. This design lightens the barrel weight by streamlining the design and eliminating redunancy. It does require a slightly more complex receiver design and internal machinery. Shucking impetus was fixed by designing and attaching a thrust tranferring mechanism that uses the forces applied to the forearm to aid the expulsion of the fired case from the shotguns chamber. This force transferrance item actually "grabs" the fired shell and removes it from the chamber, moving it rearward and expelling it clear of the firearm. This added design component, tho sounding complicated, is simply encased within the slightly oversized receiver modification referenced earlier. These ideas, smooth shells, a single centrally located barrel tube and the forward located force transfer mechanism are not cheap nor simple to integrate into most SxS shotguns. But I believe these ideas and modifications represent the evolution of shotgun design. And they add a level of reliablity to the shucking process without requiring chemical product application to exterior of your shells. Good luck, Creeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have 8 or 10 doubles. Never honed any of them. Run a bore snake once or twice a year. That's it. Long as I use AAs or STSs they shuck as good as anyone else's. All those elixirs and jazz is in people's heads. Mumbo jumbo. Voodoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Ifn yer cylinders are not already polished, get yourself a cotton mop and chuck it into your drill. slather it with SemiChrome Polish and run it on low speed in each cylinder til smooth as glass (don't pull it out at fast speed or you will feel like yer mom when whipping frosting.. In my guncart I keep a plastic tube to hold another cotton mop (this one is attached to a wooden dowel for a handle. I squirt a bunch of BreakFree onto the mop and put it into the tube. and the tube keeps it moist and keeps it from messing up the cart. Then during the match, I pull out the mop and push it into the chambers a couple of times. Keeps them smooth as glass. curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I shoot black powder from once fired Remington Gun Club (ribbed) hulls that I get from my buddies who shoot the smokeless stuff. My SXS is a Bounty Hunter II and the chambers are shiney like a mirror, but that might have been work by the previous owner. The last step before boxing up my shells is to put them on an old newspaper, spray them down with balistoil and wipe them down. I don't do any wiping or cleaning of the gun during a match. The shells shuck just fine. YMMV Chancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
