Sad truth is that to many people in this country that cut shell person is the average gun toting normal and we are just a minor bunch of history chasing double gun crackpots.

I wish someone would pressure test the cut shell and the molten-candlewax-into-the-shot-slug etc to show the average person just what kind of forces are being released in front of their face and between their hands...

Trouble is, I can't see any tester being willing to risk an expensive pressure test barrel, just to satisfy this curiosity.....

There was a report in the American Rifleman on this practise many years ago. Pressure teting was done at the time & amazingly the pressure was atually lower than an uncut shell. This paractise was however still strongly advised "AGAINST" as there was no guarantee of consistency & of course the possibility of bulging in the choke area. This test was done with shells having card & filler wads. The hull was cut completely through over the filler wad so it was held together strictly by the wads. I seriously doubt a shell with plastic wads would stand up to this paractise & be able to be carried for use.

Years ago were prohibited by federal law for waterfowl hunting. Sometimes stuck in the barrel for some reason and next round fixed it royally.

I had an old friend who duck hunted the Mississippi for over 35 years. A pretty agreeable guy most of the time and an ethical hunter all the time, it just used to frost him when hunters in other nearby blinds would sky-bust at ducks... shoot at them out of range, assuring none of the other blinds got an ethical shot at them.
Well, you just have to be downrange of an incoming cut-shell and hear the sound they make as they pass-by overhead, and well you'll never forget that sound. You might not sky-bust anymore either; for sure, not when the 'ol man in out.
