loading port help needed! SX2 for 3 gun

[steviesterno]

Hey all,

I've been having a blast at local 3 gun matches, but I'm really struggling on the reloads. I have since really started practicing weak hand, and I suck at it. Ordered a TWiNs loading system from Mark Otto after trying one, and I can't wait to learn this!

In the mean time, I'd like to open up the loading area on my winchester SX2. It's the 3.5" magnum model, so it's already a pretty big area. But I'd like to know how to open up the receiver right at the tube so I can both weak hand and do the load 2 system.

Does anyone have really detailed pics or instructions? I'm not afraid to go after my shotgun with a dremel or other homebrew tools, and I don't have the time to send it off to a pro. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Steve

really, nobody has a pic to share of their loading port?

No photos, as I shoot a Benelli, but, it's all the same. Bevel the sides, and take a little at a time off the front. You want smooth edges there. It may take several tries to get it how YOU like it.

I searched for posts by 00bullitt(Todd), he is/was a huge fan of the SX3. I hope this helps a little.

Here is a picture of my SX3 loading area. I did this with a dremel and sand paper.

I do weak hand and load 2 with it. Much more comfortable than stock
