.270 WIN
Hello
Basically the title says it all. I took my 1979 New Haven 600A to a free shooting range operated by the Michigan DNR (Thank You!!!) called "Lost Nations". It is about an hour from where I live.
Burned up a box of 7 1/2 birdshot by a brand called "Estate", it was cheap, did not recoil that bad. It stopped the charging Sprite can that I dug out of the rubbish bin and threw out for a target LOL.
The problem I had was that quite a few of the shells "hung up" in the chamber. I worked the action on a few and they finally extracted and ejected, but a few I had to "dig out" with my pocket knife.
Not sure what that was about?
Then I fired ten rounds of 00 Buckshot, made by a company called Suprema"?...it was cheap LOL. These fared better in the extracting and ejecting operation, but not perfect as a couple did hang up.
So, I cleaned the gun, next time I'll try a "brand name" of ammo and see what happens. If I have to swap out extractors and or springs...it is not the end of the world.
The photos are bad...yes I know, it was cold and I was there to make noise before the sun went down LOL.
Also debuted my Remington Model 11 16 Gauge Autoloading Shotgun. This gun from 1936 performed flawlessly...
The unfortunate victim...
And the part we all love, cleanup.
