Of course... 16 divided by 2 = 8

Glad to see that they have gone green. This would be just the thing for shooting at ranges being encroached by McMansions. And while they probably wound not work well for pigeons, they'd be perfect for wren and maybe hunningbird shoots ... Opps, there I go again.

| Just a reminder, since hummingbirds are migratory steel shot must be used.

| On the subject of strangs shells, check out the ad for "the cubic shot" on p.116 of the new DGJ. Kind of clever.

I'll be going to Jefferson Ohio to hunt turkeys on my cousin's farm in about a month. I plan to visit the Cubic Shot people and will give a full report upon my return. I'm very intrigued and will procure some of their product for personal testing.

Thanks Dave. It appears they have conveniently omitted the twenty-eight ga. Is the twenty-eight so unpopular in Great Britain that these loads aren't even produced in this Cubic Shot load? Is it simply a matter of 'demand'? Maybe we should try demanding some

Square shot isn't anything new really, I've heard of lots of guys using it for the last two shots in skeet to open up their pattern on that pair of super close shots.

| Those two shots are easy enough. I would be interested in getting some for the grouse and woodcock that get up just off your muzzles and almost immediately escape into the thick stuff. I've held fire on such birds so as not to simply kill a bird and leave it where it fell because it wouldn't be fit table fare.

Cubic shot? And I thought that I had seen it all, but I have never heard of that....
