Lead shot hanging up in the tube

Rolling the end of the tube means the inside is also rolled in, (picture a choke) and the shot will bridge at that point. Reaming the inside of the tube eliminates the 'choke' and after that, it makes no difference how high up the tube is when you drop the shot.

Link below to the thread that Edgar refers to in which Frank solved the issue.
