Thanks for the help guys... sorry for the late reply and being gone for a while. But hopefully i'll be posting more very soon. My shotty looks a whole lot different now than it does in my user pic. I'll post pics soon..
@nitesite right now I just I have 2&3/4 high brass birdshot. Getting into shotguns is something I'm still trying to adapt to, now I'm trying to learn all the different types of ammunition available.

I have an 870, 1100, and new 870 Tac 14. In the latter I use managed recoil 00 buck. I live in the country, so no concern about it bothering anyone.

1-buck is nice because you get 12 pellets vs. 9 with 00-Buck. Only downside is there's not much supply for it :(

Above is all the issues of the Intl Wound Ballistics Assn. 10 years worth for free. If you had been a member these would have cost you 600.00 in dues and they are all available to everyone free now.

Suggest you download and copy all to a thumb drive.
