[QUOTE="Coyote Dan, post: 2212056, member: 72897"] Hey guys, on the shotgun side, I remember many years ago we were just kids and a buddy of mine started reloading his 20 gauge, we would hunt cotton tails for our Moms for the winter, well at the time we had a great time laughing about his reloads because half of them were bloopers and it looked like you just took a hand full of BBs and threw them at the rabbits because it didnt hurt them one bit, luckily nothing bad ever happened and how many times have stupid little things happened since we were kids that we got away with, I had a factory 7 Ultra Mag. used it for several years no problems, then one night went to the range to check zero for deer hunting , closed the bolt on the bench and it went off, scared the **** out of me, I stood up checked it out , nothing wrong that I could see, sat down , got ready again and shut the bolt and it went off again, lucky its pointing down range, packed up and went home, next day a buddy calls and says have you ever had trouble with a factory Rem. trigger, I said a YUP,,, playing with fireworks , driving, cell phones, when Im driving Semi and look down at each car I pass or dodge around, 98 out of 100 of them are on the phone texting and they want to take our guns away. Anyway back to what I was gitting at, lots of dumb laughs about the bloopers and then years later when I was trap shooting, I had just got to the range in time to see a guy get carried off the range with a just some thumb bone left on his shooting hand,, they were shooting doubles that night and he had a blooper the first shot and the wad didnt clear the barrel and he tried to get the second shot off right after the miss fire cause they were doing doubles yu know and bloop__KABOOOM !!! Take care everyone, and stay safe, think back and count our blessings. [/QUOTE]
