    My issues were a flaw in both brass [U]and[U] the gun. It was so bad that I had to bail, and go into town to buy winchester about lunchtime on opening day. It was about 25 years ago.

    Falcon ammo

    Falcon ammo seems like a good deal. Any comments on performance? I'm restricted to 2 3/4" shells in my old skb semi. The 35gr loads ok in #3 or 4#? Any comments on the lighter loadings?
