    Re: A little insight into shotshells

    All good info...and while its always been a topic that seemes to never gave a cut and dry answer, I will throw in 2 things that I believe relevent.
    1. Patterning the shot, it makes more sense to me to know how a certain shotshell shoots from a particular shotgun/choke combo. A couple of shells to learn a lot.
    2. Consistancy, going from a shell that shoots pellets at 1560 fps to one that is only 1425 will have an affect on the lead required, so something to consider.

    Have fun...

    Well I'll be????
    I guess all those slow loads I'm shooting are actually scaring ducks to death?

    Maybe you're not shooting all those ducks.... Maybe it's all the people you invite are shooting your birds.
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
