I may just do that, but really why waste one when I could shoot a duck with it. I'm not about to go cutting a perfectly good shell up just to see if the pellets are all round. I get my results in the field. So what if they arent perfectly round. I've seen the pellets from hevi-shot and remington hd shells. And that stuff is damn near perfect.

But I still keep killing them with xperts so why sweat it. I do see where you're coming from though.
