pestcontrol1 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi all went out to test some 3-1/2" steel loads that i have just loaded up the data i have is a rto finish. I put pattern plate up and put first shell at it pattern not to bad. BUT then when i saw some geese coming at me i loaded my baikal mp153 semi up and found tha i could only get 1 shell in the mag but i could get a 3" in with the 3-1/2" which was ok at the time geese still coming downed one with the first shot and swung on another but no shell in the chamber . looked at the gun and it looked like the cartridge was yust to long to come out of the mag for the slide to lift it up to the chamber. So my questions are 1) How much rto do you put on a cartridge with a card or frag rto ? 2) Can you rto and still get 2 shells in the mag or do you have to crimp ? 3) and lastly boild or fryed rice with goose curry cheers ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 normal 12gauge fold crimp should be 1/2". cut off 1/4" and roll turn in future. it should be deep enough roll turn remaining 1/4". however, alittle more (few mm) isnt going to be a problem. cook.

pestcontrol1 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks Cook i will give it ago in the morning. I think i will have to alter the load as the data i have been trying comes to about 5 or 6mm from the case top which i am not getting a verry good rto finish. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
