Halvey,

Thanks for the link. I have been wanting to reload shotshells for a while now. I think I am getting motivated.

Also, regarding the use of steel in the 1898 Parker and the 1948 Elsie - not an expert - but doesn't the steel hurt the barrels because of the hardness of the shot regardless of the shot-cup?

I am curious for others to chime in on this. I think the combination of speed above 1200fps and pressure greater than 8,000 combined might have damaging effect to stock head, barrels, etc.
