Hi Guys,
It's been awhile since I've been on. I had a rough winter, but I'm back at it. I'm looking for a CZ, Mallard, 12ga. I have a nice Smith 66-I, that I would be willing to trade for it. Thanks

My wife carries a Taurus 85 ultra light 38spcl with crimson trace grips. I load Hornady 140gr XTP's for it. They shoot very well, with little recoil. I'm not worried about losing any penetration with the lighter loads. 99% of bad guys aren't going to stay and fight it out after getting hit with...
If your going to have someone mill the lettering off, have them do it in a CNC so they can engrave it at the same time. I too was a little bummed about the lettering on my last build. Barrel was stamped 257 ACK. Maybe I'm OCD!
Nice. I got an HRA special grade a few years ago. I use a 150gr bullet, over 48gr of W748, with a CCI 250 primer. Its safe on the gun and I have shot some impressive groups with it.
There is an old 12ga shotgun at my local club that was scattered pretty good. Seems if you put a 12ga shell in, on top of a 20ga shell, the results are not pleasant. More of a loading, than reloading, accident.
Yeah, I find it a waste of components and barrel life. I'll report my findings. For $150, if it works as advertised, I could see myself building more wildcats.

Just faxed my reamer print out to Carrrie. Great CS so far. Can't wait to have it in my hands! I hate fireforming. I'll report back with my results.
