toilet paper? torn? nice pun.

If I think a hull is bad I don't load it. Get a Open crimp by surprise I seal them and box separately with "toss" in black marker on the box. Alternative is cut them open to salvage components, real pain compared to seal shoot and throw away.

I mainly load 3" .410 shells Had to do some playing around to get them right on the MEC. If I ever need to load 2 1/2", the Spolar makes awesome shells.

If I have to resort to the wax to keep the shot in then I mark the bottom of the hull with a black sharpie and throw it out after using it.

My shells don't sit around long enough for the wax to become problematic and I don't have any semi auto shotguns:nono:

I put salt in mine.



Wait for it!

As the old joke goes, my Parker kills so far that I have to add salt to keep the meat from spoiling before I get there.:)
