I used to load 2400 in 3" Federal papers with 3/4 oz shot and really liked it. Poor crimp, and had to candle drip a few per box, but they were the ticket back in the day. The load has taken everything from geese(double) on down to Wilson's snipe. Now, too hand feeble to reload 410's and back isn't happy cleaning up the all too frequent messes, so I am living off of the remains of a 'case' of 3" 7 1/2 Federal papers. A friend has offered to load me some #8's for quail and grouse, so I should be good to go, as I just rolled into my 83rd year of life Saturday, and wonder when I will finally have to quit???, doesn't appear to be on the horizon yet, the Big Guy willing.
