That would be the way to go if exercising an abundance of caution however not quite absolute.Quote:

Is steel the most effective load for the uplands? Hunter orange and a pocket full of #7/12, #6 lead with a few steel #2/#3 and an upfront discussing of intent if question by a co should be enoughQuote:

Actually, got stopped a couple of years ago, with just that scenario.Quote:

CO asked, I showed him mixed bag ( 2 grouse, 1 wood duck), and then produced the spent shells I shot the woody with.
GTG.
The best gun.....is all of the seven in my rotation....ranging from sixteen to twentyeight gauge.
Does anyone have any experience with Stevens Mod 555 O/U in 20ga? I'm looking for a light,fast shooting gun that's easy on a high mileage shoulder. Cabela's has them on sale.
Turkish made, decent handling. I'd strongly recommend you actually handle one.Quote:

Depending on the price, the 555 might fit the bill though.
That's what I'm thinking,too. I don't want something that I'd be afraid to carry through brier and berry patches.Quote:

I like the look of that Mossberg. I'm feeling like taking another look. I wouldn't likely use it for clays, my shoulder is too soft, that's why I like the semis.
