The DNR website doesn't give a reopen date. I used to go there a lot back in the day. It really needed a face lift. I'm also in Holt, class of 97. Forgot Chief Okemos sportsmans club in Dimondale, it goes out to 200yds. gun)

Hello. There are a few choices near Holt. Family Shooters corral in Eaton Rapids. My favorite! It goes out to 300 yds and the owner is very knowledgeable but ya gotta pay per hour/half hour. Targets, shooting glasses,ear muffs, range scopes, staplers are supplied. Rose Lake shooting range...

I have to agree, these are some awesome posts! All the information and pictures are greatly appreciated!

Have a look at the Big bore thread going here. Really impressive amount of information. I want to Handload a heavy hitting slug for my Savage 220! 2 3/4" Accu tips shoot great but I want more oomph! best BB

Happy Thanksgiving! Fantastic guns! The latest BPI catalog arrived recently and has me really wanting to load for my 220. The loads/components you've shown have been a big help. Seeing the .58cal. bullets in the Commander wads made the lights come onlightbulb! For a loader I'd like one of...

I had a really nice Marlin 55 Goose gun with the 36 inch barrel in my hands but didn't buy it. I probably will because it was great! I usually stray from .12 ga. but I really dig this model gun. I missed the chance on 2 of them for cheap some years ago and have thought about them since. I...

If I wanted to build a heavy lead pitcher like these. Would the old bolt action shotguns from Marlin, Stevens, Mossberg ect be any good for modifying? They are readily available around here for pretty cheap. This is a hypothetical project as I'm currently on gun buying lock down...:D But...

That model 12 sounds like a lot of fun! I shoot a Marlin 880 with a Bushnell 3-9x40. Not a target rifle either but it's a squirrel's worst nightmare! Lol! Thanks Guys :D BBgun)

A google search produced some results. Heres a link to one for sale. Thats a great looking rifle. I love old .22's! BBgun) SAVAGE 6B 22CAL - Savage Rifles

Tysn, Thanks for posting your experience with this round. A google search came up with mixed reviews. I may have to give them a shot :D. Pun intended BBgun)

Wow, this is a fantastic thread! It's very interesting! Thanksgun) BB

I just got Cabela's shooting catalog the other day and saw this. Anyone had any trigger time with it? gun) BB

Mine also shoots the 2 & 3/4 acutips very well. Too bad they cost so much. I have a Lanes reloader on the way and the slug reloading manual from Ballistic products. Hopefully I can build a good load before November. These guns are VERY accurate!gun) BB

I was tooling around online the other day and found these Barnes® Banded Solid Could this be used to load for a .20 gauge projectile? Thanks BBgun)

These kits are similar to the Lee Classic kits that use a mallet. I'm interested in the .20 gauge and .410, both in 3". The price seems right! Anyone had a chance to paw over these? Thanks BBgun)
