Can't say I have ever been accused of having a "great mind".
"That boy about half nuts" - heard that a few times...still do.
Probably not a good idea to do anything like me...most folks stay a few steps away too..
I reloaded the Fiochhi shells using the exact recipe for AA hulls...err...the OLD real deal AA hulls. Data from Winchesters Reloading booklet -9th, 10th, 11th editions.
I used all Winchester components to reload, primers,shot, wads, powders...I even had Win Grex. Now I forget where I got the copperplated shot, had it in hard #5 shot all the way up to 000buck...
Oh...as per Brister, Isleng ...flour , grits, Malto-Meal [tm] and Farina makes a great buffer...
Probably a good thing they did not have see thru shells in my days of T&E...would have spoiled matters...given me away.
Who says you can't fell a duck with a 2.5" .410 shell marked #9 shot...
Remember what something is marked - ain't always what it is.
