Shooting current shells in old guns poll

[Bill Murphy]

The 2 1/2 DE 1 ounce 16 gauge Game Loads are less intrustive than the 3 1/4 DE 12 gauge Game Loads or the super fast 20 gauge Game Loads. Learn to read the labels to protect your gun. The 2 1/2 DE 16 gauge loads are the bargain of the century and probably safe for any older fluid steel gun.

The only shotshell I load is the 2-7/8" 10 gauge. I load one ounce of 7-1/2 shot with a charge of Hodgdon's Clays for about 5200 PSI. In my short chambered 12s, I use 2-1/2" Polywad Vintagers or light loads from RST. I hunt ruffed grouse and really don't need anything outrageous to effectively take them. Cheers!
