These are 2"- 16 gauge, paper hull, fiber wad, 3/4 oz lead shot, roll crimped loads. Oh, and low pressure to go along with it.

Nice looking load. Obviously a great deal of care has been taken in their production. The question is how do they pattern and are they effective on birds?

Jeff,
Personally I've never patterned the load.
However, the gentleman that I'm loading 2000 of these shells for really likes them.

I've been told the tool from Precision is better than the one from Ballistic. I have the one from BP's - never tried the other. From the picture in Precisions catalog it looks like there's two pins used for the roll - mine has one. BP offers one with two at a higher price and I think it's in 12ga only.

Paul,
The old Lyman tools have 6 raised ares, as seen in the left picture.
Sorry, new camera and haven't figured out the Macro yet.

Those look alot like the ones I got from Brian Erickson of New Era. They are basically a 28ga load in a 16ga. I have a few left that I'm hoarding but now that I know Dave's loading them up again:whistle: They work well on the Grouse and Woodcock that I've used them on. All I have are #8 shot so no Pheasants:banghead:, but loaded with 6's or 7 1/2's they would work fine.

Dave are you in the ammo business now? I bet these are for a gentalman with a English gun chambered for 2 inch shells.
