Looking forward to this afternoon. My pastor invited me to a 10 acre sunflower field he's been scouting for several afternoons. He says there's no reason we shouldn't get a lot of shooting today. Supposed to get to 91 here this afternoon, so we're not going out there until about 3:00. Hope to make short work of a 15 bird limit with the .410 again, and get out of the heat. Maybe the humidity won't be too bad.
I'm anxious to try the nickel plated loads but will wait until the late season when I can test them on big, old tough mature birds. That really tells the tale on effectiveness much more so than on these early, immature doves. Patterning is very promising.
Tom Roster told me 7-8 years ago that he was going to publish some "super" .410 game load recipes, but I've yet to see anything of them. Does anyone know if he has published a book of loads lately that might contain them? It wouldn't be free, but would have to be purchased, according to our conversation.
