Alcan shells
David Lien, a fellow Parker member, sent me 50 steel Alcan 12ga shells. Nice Christmas gift - thanks. Anyways, he thought they took Rem 57 primers, but the regular 209s work just fine. Because the walls are so thin, the 10ga paper wads work ok if they're started by hand on my 12ga Mec jr, or they can be loaded on my 10ga Mec jr without having to start them by hand. I'll try 4 shells tomorrow at the club. In two there's just below 7/8oz of shot with 16.7grs of Promo in one, and 22grs in the other. The other two have 1 1/16oz of shot and 19grs of Promo. Didn't have any OS cards so I cut a OP card in half to use for one . Didn't glue them in because they fit so tight. We'll see how they shoot. Has anyone ever seen any of these before ?
