Hello All,

Well so far I have committed to this stock.





I have sourced a forearm blank, not yet purchased.
Barrels are on there way.
Gunsmith sourced and quoted.
Waiting for pictures on 2 16 ga SXS donor guns, one FN and a Simson.
Hope to get things kicked off by end of the week

Cheers
Nitro

Hello All,

So other projects aside.
Here are a few shots of the SPR220 in Paradox form.
To recap, I added sights and 1/4 rib and Colonial extended Rifled choke tubes.
12 ga SXS 2 3/4" RH 0.727" LH 0.726"






This is ofcourse what I am trying to get to shoot the 1 1/4 oz full bore slugs out of.
I really need to get back to this project, but work has really been cutting into my time.

Well will post some targets soon I hope.

Cheers
Nitro

Update 7/19

Good day at the range. Hot as He!! and humid.
But it meant I had the range to myself.
Set up the chrony and a target at 50 yds.

The brass loads with SR4759 were Horrible, felt like a delayed ignition and incomplete powder burn.
So back to 800X and round balls for that one.

The SR4759 and the paper multi-hulls with Federal wad with petals cut off and nitro cards were good.
I got decent regulation and velocity.
The soft lead slugs caused some leading, so I think I need to relube them after sizing.
No tumbling and recovered slugs still exhibited engraving from the chokes.
I will try the hard cast slugs, since I am sizing them to bore size, this should reduce leading.

I will post pictures of the targets and the velocity strings from the chrony.

I also put the conversion tubes in and did some 45-70 loads.
Very happy with those results also.

Same as above more details to come.

Both loads and calibers shoot well enough to the sights, Bonus.

Cheers
Nitro
