Why no bird shot?

They are very specific, thought I don't know if they'd come around and pull discarded targets and start measuring... Maybe I'll try that for next time... I did find 00 buck online pretty cheap though... $0.48/rd...

Dunno, never asked. Though I bought some mil-spec Winchester, which is supposed to be junk (but cheap)... was great for shredding paper for fun... BUT... One of the 60 rounds I bought, was actually birdshot... really weird.

I know a lot of ranges won't allow lead shot, for environmental reasons, but I've never heard of one restricting the size of the shot.

Odd.

Any of you guys have experience with add-on recoil pads?

50 rounds yesterday and I'm a little tender today... not a big deal at all, but for $30 or so, I figure why not. Especially when I'm already shopping for a sling and new bead sight.

Seems that the custom fit ones are all pretty comparable, but the slip-on ones are cheaper. Can't really find much on fitment with the slip-on ones... and other than aesthetics, don't seem to be much difference between custom fit and slip-on.

I am not sure what you are shooting , but I have found adjust the length of "Pull" Helps as much or more than a a pad. I added 1 inch to My 50 Beowulf and totally change the way it felt to shoot it.

I was told that the spread of smaller shot causes damage to the target hangers, but that could be BS... not unlike the whole thing with FMJ ammo.

My Tromix saiga has an extra limbsaver on it. I don't think it makes a difference.

Hmm... I've read nothing, but the complete opposite... and Limbsavers are supposed to be one of the best...

I slipped a Limbsaver on my 91/30 and it helps quite a bit (compared to the metal buttplate digging into my shoulder)

I got 4 M1A 20 rd springfield mags for $35 each today at a local dealer. The springfield version runs for $45 MSRP and the CMI ones run for $27 MSRP, seen them as low as $22. So I didn't make out too bad.

FINALLY GOT 308 ammo, I can actually shoot the damn gun finally.
