Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 605 Posted November 23, 2019 Does anybody load these? A good friend has asked me to load some with Speer shotshell capsules but I’m not sure how to go about it. Help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crisco 44 Posted November 23, 2019 I will just add that the smaller the shot, the better they will perform out of a pistol. If you can find a few ounces of #12 you will be impressed by how they work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
