Determining a shot material and size shot is the first step in the reloading process for this. The barrel is being threaded by them now. I'm thinking about "shooting for" 1 3/4 oz. of a non-tox equal to, or denser than, lead. This BTX looks interesting.

Sounds like a good project to keep you busy until planting season...and then dove season...
