BE is not dangerous, it's tailored to competition shooting, far more than here.Interesting, I'm guessing most people roll their own?
I read similar sentiment on Brian Enos' forum last night; that place is just as dangerous as this, I've already started another short list after skimming last night, haha.

Most shooters buy factory ammo, but, are particular to which ammo. Cheap Winchester has absolutely terrible crimp. Some of it requires a solid shove to chamber in my O/U, for Trap it's okay. The Walmart Remington and Federal is good. Rio, Estate, Fiochhi are all good too. I tore my old Mec 650 apart, and have only the crimp stations in it, and crimp the lousy stuff for practice.
I hope that a few can get something from my ramblings.
Great post! Have you guys seen the info onteh AR15.com 3 gun match. It has a Pro and an Amatuer match all in one.

So what I learned from your "ramblings" is we should buy a Saiga
You no optic having tube stuffer enjoy your slow times
This thread has been silent for a while. [snip] I hope that a few can get something from my ramblings.
We all get satisfaction from different things. How much did you win at Topton in October with your optic and box mag?
Your division is so slow they have to pay people to show up and shoot.
Maybe so, I did notice a lot of shooters with grey hair, for those that had hair. I do think that everyone had a good time, which really is the important thing.
Great post.
I am working on my 930 project now, cut a barrel down to 22", just before the ports, and threaded for chokes. I had an issue with the follower getting hung up on the mag tube once it got past the extension. I took a light file to it, and it works great now, although I am looking at a new follower anyways. I have had my nose in the BE shotgun tech forum reading and reading what people are doing with their 930's, and it seems like a few people are filing the loading port to ease the loading process. It looks like something I can do, but I am nervous about removing metal.
I am putting together an order to spend some Christmas gift certs on things like a new follower, a better set of chokes, a bigger bolt handle, shell caddy's, and some 12g snap caps. I plan to spend these nasty days "stuffing my tube" in my living room until the nicer weather, getting ready Nauset's shotgun match in March.
I'm not bald, I'm genetically aerodynamic
Yeah, the EZ Loader doesn't make it that easy. Port size just need to meet Mr Dremel
Does the lifter stay up on the Benelli and Mossberg?
The only bad thing I can say about the 930, is the notch in the lift gate. When trying to load it quickly, it catches the knuckle of my thumb often and is like a Chinese finger trap. I am sure with some more practice I can get away from that with working on the position of my thumb against the lift gate, maybe at an angle. Again I see someone on BE welded in a filler on theirs and I think that would be way cool, but I do not have the means or the smarts to do something like that.
ETA; so those that may not have handled a 930 can see the problem I am talking about.

Could you at least take a Dremel and "mirror polish" the notch and area around the front edges of the lift gate? That might make it easier for your thumb to slide in and out without getting caught, and it would be a whole lot simpler than welding.

The thumb gets wedged in the notch. Polishing won't make any difference.

with the EZ Loader, do you recommend keeping it full length or trimming it? I haven't had any issues with it catching my thumb, but it seem to make keep the shell in the port harder
Mine is full length. I do see the merits of shortening them. Especially for us slow tactical guys.
