yes my shoulder still hurts from my testing i did find things just as pete stated, like 1 5/8 ths oz 6's shot 75% , 1 1/2 oz 6's 86 % , 1 3/8 ths 6's 82 % than i tryed a win hull and it opened up even more. rolled crimp better pattern than star crimp(that is why i rolled crimped my loads from Bell's chart on the 1 1/2 oz loads) and yes i load 100% of my shells for above reasons and it is nice to hunt with and old gun and your own shells! scott
