Title: Man did I score some ammo !
Post by: Old Gobbler on May 02, 2023, 09:00:23 PM
I was pleasantly surprised to pick up some federal HW #7 ...7 boxes of it ...and then another 7 boxes of 10 gauge #4buck and 00buck  for deer hunting

Man this should keep me in business for years to come

Never saw any number 4 buck in factory loads. I've loaded 000 nickel plated buckshot and it's deadly. Always wanted to load some number 4 and try it.

Nice! Love it when I run across ammo like that. Sounds like you are well stocked up, a good feeling
to have with the ammo situation being what it's been!

I plan on having one of those Federal Heavyweight 7's in the pipe of my H&R Friday for the Mississippi opener. The recoil is obnoxious though!

Sighted in my NEF Bottomland 10 a few weeks ago. 24 inch barrel, pure gold 690. I will agree, the recoil is pretty good. I am a lefty, this is my left bicep. I love this old cannon, thank God it's a single shot.......

Yea, I have a shoulder protector that slipped out of the way, and I have since put on a real soft recoil pad from Limbsaver. Won't happen again for sure.....
