I have two IAC 87, The first one is an early 06 prefix gun I got while waiting for my Coyote Cap Special, the second is said special. The 87's have been my main match shotgun for over a year and a half and have served me well. But there is a steep learning curve you have to deal with before you get ...

Longhair, I forgot to address your question. The long ejector, that long pease in the middle of the carrier is what holds the shells in the mag tube. Check and make sure that it moves (pivots up and down) when you work the action. p.s. Just read your lattest post. That is one of the problems that Co...

I've fireformed over 100 winchester 348 cases so far and have'nt split one yet. That Starline must be real hard and brittle. Maybe if you used a lighter load and a lead bullet you could avoid that. Hell it takes me at least two or three firerings to completly swell up those 348 cases anyway. I just ...

Oct. 1, 2007 All of the following loads used reformed 348 Win Brass. I’ve noticed that the case capacity of my brass continues to grow. After 4 or 5 uses the capacity of my 348 cases has increased from 71.5 grains of water to 76.6... And the cases are approaching the dimensions shown in the drawin...
