You can steal them for next to nothing…You don't need to pay $30 or $40 for a box of shells. You don't even need to pay $15 for a box of shells.
HahaYou can steal them for next to nothing…
I have ammo that's 20 or 30 years old. I still use it.I’m now committed to using up what I have…12, 16, 20, 28…goal is to have no ammo, then go box by box…serious. I still have my dad’s stash going back 50+ years…I use it if it makes sense. I keep steel wool in my van’s, I find ammo in vests, in my garage, etc, that rusts on the base, I buff it with steel wool and use it up…
I put together a similar load, but with a bit more Longshot. I have not shot across the chrony, but I think they were supposed to be if 1400s fps. Most pellets pass thru.I'll do a second on Joe Hunter's post. I reload that same load-1.25 oz, 1220ish fps, #5 magnum shot. My "fair weather" pheasant gun is a 7lb Winchester 101 and I don't need the heavier recoil of heavier, faster shells that the ammo marketeers are pushing now. I also shoot those reloads in my "foul weather" pheasant gun, a first generation Browning Maxus 12G.
