Toe-nail Trimmings for Sale

 

OK, not quite toe-nails. But the color is about right

2-1/2" 12 gauge reloads. I need to get them to my buddy "Shotgun" to ensure that they cycle through his 1920s vintage shotgun.

Fiocchi hulls trimmed to 2.5", 7/8 oz #7 shot and an overshot card,  21 grains Hodgdon Universal powder. Roll-crimped to 2.25" total length.

  1. Ah yes, sevens. No half's. The Lord's most versatile shot size.

  2. My wife has a 16 gauge that takes short shells. Am I remembering correctly that it’s something like 2 and 9/16 length?

  3. Those are very nice. How about a primer on making up roll crimp shells? (watch out, I have a pun) I have some old Champion type break opens. I'm pretty sure they are nitro proofed, but also sure they are 2 1/2 chamber. I'd even use BP in them if needed. Por favor or Please and Thank you? Or did you sorta do that already? hmmmmmmm :/
