do any of you shoot blackpowder shells?

Hello Joe ; I shoot a 20 Ga. PH grade with Twist Steel barrels and also a couple of Hammer 10 Ga. Parkers with Damascus steel barrels ,and I use the Vintager Shells made by, RST, excellent low pressure shells with plenty of hitting power ! Remember though your barrels should always be checked first by a competent smith .I do have some BP shells but the cleaning is a very dirty job ! Good Shooting ! Russ

Russ ... You're in error ... "Vintager" Shells are a Poly-Wad product not RST ... But that's not taking anything away from the great low pressure shells made by RST.

James; You of course are correct, I stand corrected ! And apologize ,I even looked at my boxes before making the post My Vintager ammo I have is for my 16 Ga. and I do in fact have the RST ,in the 10 Ga. and the 20 Ga. loads ! Thank you for straightening this up ! Both work quite well .I have to say ,I really don't care for the cleaning of the BP ,but it really is fun to shoot ,you have to rely on your buddy to see if you hit any thing ! When I purchased the 16 Ga. it is a DH grade ,O Frame gun w/ Damascus barrels the gentleman I bought the gun from ,sent me five boxes of " Classic Black Powder Cartridges " loaded by Game Bore Cartridge Co. Great Union St.,Hull England ,That was a nice suprise and the gun was even nicer than it looked in the Pics. Sometimes things just work out really well ! Russ
