If I ever ran a tower shoot I wouldn't allow over 1 1/4 ounce. Shot fall is a real concern when you're shooting across the "circle" from someone possibly throwing 2 ounces of #4s up in the air. I'm not trying to start an argument, or chastise anyone, but shot fall is something that needs to be considered at these type shoots. I sure wouldn't want to be across from someone shooting loads like that.

I agree a lot isn’t needed but if I carry that 8 gauge I sure as hell am not shooting 1 1/8 ounces . The 1 3/4 ounce load seems to work very well at forty yards on my pattern board .

That’s 150 of them . I have four hundred more that match . Thought I’d swage 250 of them just to be prepared !

I have about 75 Winchester hulls andgot 500 of those once fired Remington hulls...they are hard to load till I bought a heat gun to spin them on...but the Winchester is still easiest to load....charlie

I finished up swagging 250 of the new Winchester’s at the shop today and have 300 untouched ones at the house . Have several hundred fired Remington’s and 200 unfired Remington’s so I’m set for life I believe .

I might go to the shoo Saturday and load about fifty with 6’s and maybe 50 with 4’s .

I got a call from Allgood this AM and their tower shoot is on for this Saturday . He said the last of the season . So I’ll make the trip provided the creek don’t rise Also gonna take Brutus and see if I can kerplunk a Pheasent or two with him . They’re only throwing pheasents this time no partridge or pigeons .
