anyone know about the chamber length on a springfield double barrel 12 gauge shotgun?

Bound's hubby here: \n\nExpect that your Springfield double is chambered for 2.75" 12 guage shells. Twelve guage shells were also once offered in 2 9/16" length, but the chances your shotgun is chambered for these shells is really slim ... about equal to you having Osama Bin Laden at your dining room table for Thanksgiving dinner!\n\nEDITED TO ADD! Do NOT drop a 3" shell into a 2 3/4" chamber, this will give you a false indication! Shotgun chambers are cut long, because the folded "crimp" opens up into the chamber extension. If this did not happen, the shot and wad would be constricted as it passes into the barrel, increasing chamber pressure to the point that you are risking a blow-up of your barrel! If you use the "drop test" and see that a 3" shell falls into the chamber, and you use a 3" Magnum (the only 3" shell), you are not only risking destruction of your shotgun, but also risking bodily harm!\n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nIf I understand your question correctly, the answer is a big NO! \n\nThe .257 Roberts Improved cartridges that you have are not the same as factory loaded/SAAMI standard .257 Roberts cartridges. The .257 Roberts Improved is a wildcat cartridge that changes the physical dimensions of the cartridge case and will not fit in a chamber cut for the .257 Roberts cartridge. If you were to close the chamber of a .257 Roberts rifle, you will crush the cartridge case of the .257 Roberts Improved at the shoulder and possibly into the neck. \n\nYour best bet is to go and purchase factory ammo or reload standard .257 Roberts cases for your rifle. \n\nGood luck.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYes, but ONLY 12 guage full choke. If you place a dime on the muzzle of a 12 guage barrel and the dime does not go into the barrel, you have a funtioning full choke. The dime trick only works on a 12 guage with a full choke. It is best to use this trick to insure the choke is not shot out not to determine what choke you have.\n\nGood luck!

Eighteen for all rifles and shotguns. Caliber/gauge makes no difference.  Twenty one for handguns. This is a federal law.

I've used both in my 12 ga. 870 with rifled choke tube and red bead front sight. They both seem to shoot well and I usually pick up whichever is on sale.\n I just sighted in a new fully rifled ported cantilever barrel with a 3x9-32 scope a few weeks ago. While both of the cheaper slugs still shoot well in the new barrel I found that Brenneke heavy field short magnums shoot a little better and pack more punch. It is a 1-1/4 oz. Emerald Slug. I picked them up at Gander Mountain for $4.49 per box of 5, compared to the $2.49-2.99 for the Remington or Winchester 1 oz. slugs.\n \n Remington slugs are 1560 fps muzzle, 1175 @ 50 yds., and 977 @ 100 yds.  They have 1340 foot lbs. of energy @ 50 yds. and 926 @ 100 yds.\n Winchester slugs are 1600 fps muzzle, 1161 @ 50 yds., and 953 @ 100 yds. They have 1310 foot lbs. of energy @ 50 yds. and 882 @ 100 yds.\n  Brenneke slugs are 1476 fps muzzle, 1174 @ 50 yds., and 1002 @ 100 yds. They have 1606 foot lbs. of energy @ 50 yds. and 1170 @ 100 yds.\n The Brenneke's shoot very well through the new barrel, so I went back and picked up a few more boxes just to have on hand.

Well, its smaller than a 12 or 16 gauge, but larger than a .410, so it just depends on what you're comparing it to.  I prefer a 12 for most of my shotgun hunting, but I know plenty of people who love bird hunting with a 20.  I suppose it just depends on what you want to use it for, but a 20 gauge has plenty of power to get the job done in most cases.

It sounds like a K98 Mauser. A qualified gunsmith should be sought to determine its chambering (cartridge size) and condition for use.

Your best bet for trapshooting is usually going to be a 12ga. 2-3/4" shell w/ 1-1/8oz of number 7-1/2 or 8 shot.  This load with a improved choke tube will usually do just fine out to about thirty yards or so, depending upon your level of skill and level of comfort with the particular gun.  If you are going to be shooting longer distances, you may choose to use an modified choke tube, or go to a size 6 shot which should so just fine to forty plus yards.  You will have to play around with ammunition from various different manufactorers to determine, if your gun shoots better with a specific brand, or if you just like a brand in general.  Personally, I would reccommend looking at Winchester AA target loads, or Kent all purpose loads.  I have had the best luck with either of these two, but I will usually shoot anything that is of good quality and realatively cheap.  Once you have figured all of this out, have fun and be safe.

The second set of numbers represents the length of the brass in millimeters. A 7x ("x" reads "by") 57 means that the case, just like an 8x57 is just that, 57mm long. While strange by US standards, try explaining the meaning of 7-08Rem or 7-30Waters to those on the east side of the pond. I also have and love my 7x57. Very mild, but shoots good and flat out a lot further than I can see. My neighbor has a Mauser in 7x64. Wonderful round! Finding ammo is a bit problematic though. He forms his brass from .270Win Seems to work for him.

This is a hugely variable question. It all depends! \nThis will be an interesting link for you.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, do not zero with ammo you are uncertain about! My biggest question, why zero at metric distances? Most shooting in the US is in multiples of 100 yards!\n\nThe only windchart I have handy at the moment for .308 Match is for the 168 grain Sierra MatchKing ... loaded to the equivalent of Military Match M852 (the sierra 168 MatchKing loaded to 2550 fps). Since 100m is only 10 yards greater than 100 yds, you can use this to "get on paper". \n\nUsing 168gr HPBT commercial ammo (Remington, Winchester, or Federal), zero you your rifle to shoot 1.3" high at 100 yards, then you should be very close on at both 200 yards and meters.\n\nI may be jumping at conclusions, but I would suspect you purchased a Springfield Armory M1A, either an "issue" style, or maybe a target grade rifle. You may want to limit your ammo selection, if you are shooting "target" to 168 gr Hollow Point Boat Tails (HPBT) for distances to and including 600 yards, and 175 gr HPBT beyond 600 to 1000 yards!\n\nGood luck!

You can look at the ballistics statistics or go to the manufacturer. it also depends on what distance you are wanting too look at.

depend on the allawable deflection \nfor 10 mm deflection \nif the 12 is vertical 8 m span \nif 6 is vertical 6 m span

I have found for my gun which is a mossberg 500 slugster that rifled federals work the best.  I have had problems with winchesters. they jammed up my gun.  Don't use sabots unless you have a rifled barrel

Well I'm 99.9% certain the Winchester 1200 isn't a Double Barrel gun, I seem to  recall it was a pump action shotgun. But $250 for one in new condition isn't bad

If you'll look at Savage, they have about made about everything you can think of.\n\n12 Gauge with 30/30 combo.\nhttp://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2685050\n\nI've seen 12 Gauge with 30-06' also.\n\nAlso interesting are the Rossi "Matched Set".\nYou get a break-open single shot gun with 3 barrels for $300.\n\nConsists of a muzzle-loader, a rifle, and shotgun (12 GA/.243 WIN/.50 CAL). Or a muzzle-loader, and 2 rifle calibers (17HMR/ 270 Win/50 CAL)\nOther variations (youth stock standard) have 20 gauge, .22 LR, &.50 CAL or  .410 gauge, 22 LR & .45 CAL.\n\nKinda different...  You can order the 20 gauge from Walmart.\nhttp://www.rossiusa.com/products/product-details.cfm?model=S1224350M&category=MATCHEDSET\n\nHere a google search that will show you lots more.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?&q=+rifle+shotgun+combo

once you pick the correct arbor for the caliber and insert it into the muzzle attach the culminator to the arbor\nmake sure it is leveled AND AWAY YOU GO\ni am not aware of any height adjustment
