Default autoloaders???

A lot of you guys prefer auto guns for waterfowl,I like shooting them at clays and small game but couldn't justify using them on waterfowl as a rule. Unless I am incorrect some of the power is used to cycle the gun, so what is the good in buying magnum waterfowl loads to not have their full power. I am not trying to be rude and I know the best gun for an individual is the one they shoot best, are most confident with, etc. Just wonderin'.

I don't think energy expelled on the working of the action effects the performance much. Not much to speak of anyway. I have though this same thing before. I shoot a pump for waterfowl personally. First a pump can take more abuse that waterfowl hunting often dishes out, IMO. Second I don't burn through as many shells.[8D]

I have never gone after divers. I have shot at a few on some of the inland lakes, but never keyed on them. It would take a lot more time and money. Neither of which I have

Not really, most of the local lakes around here fill up with them in november. Buffleheads, mergs, goldeneyes, and a few bluebills. we use our same setup as early season and get plenty of action. Get ahold of me in the fall can always fit one more in.

Oh, that dark red building. I didn't even notice that building untill a couple days ago. After over a year, I still don't have this place figured out.

Is that where you are always at when your on. I might have to venture over there when I have more time. I got chem class cominng up, then Study group for an ed class after that.[:'(]
