Thirty years ago I wrote Tom Roster a letter asking him how I could develop a load that would in effect open up the pattern in a tightly choked Parker 20ga. He suggested cutting the petals off a plastic wad and loading as usual. The theory being the shot would scrub the barrel, slightly deform, and open up the pattern. It worked and I've been doing it ever since.

I am a bit amused by those who do this "spreader" thing for casual skeet. Is there a difference in the annual income from skeet shooting with and without spreader loads? I am interested because it is time to turn my paper over to my tax man for 2014.

Looks like UMC might have gotten some bad vibes on bleeding off powder gases to cause spreading of the shot charge, thereby reducing velocity. This advert appeared on the front page of the next few issues. Humm, let me think about that ..... the new short range shells wiill strike with adequate killing force (at 25 yards) but with almost the same penetration as regular shells would do @ 40 yards.
