If I'm not mistaken the 10 gauge 2 7/8" loaded shells are $40 for a box of 10 !

Since I already load I'd looked about ordering some of the shot and loading my own ! I think they normally sell it in 6 pound bags , but I also saw some of 2.2 pounds for like $60 . Was actually thinking of getting a bag of #2's and using it for both !

Anyway all I'm intrested in doing is taking a Canada and a Mallard or Woodie with the W.C. !
Isn't a matter of I'm a big waterfowler or anything . My 10 gauge W.C. was my maternal grandfathers !
So this past season I used handloaded #8's for dove and took enough for a meal . Then used handloaded 00 Buck and shot a nice meat doe with the old gun !
Now I wish to get a duck , goose , rabbit , squirrel and possiblt a long beard !
