I'm really looking forward to reloading low pressure loads for it, possibly even black powder. If anyone has any spare Federal Monarch purple 16ga paper hulls (or loaded shells) they don't need, or want to sell, let me know.


Mark,

Please forgive, as I should have responded directly to your post some time ago.

Back in Dec 2006 we started talking about the none existence of 16ga paper hulls. We decided to do a group purchase and actually had about 60,000 hulls spoken for.

Eventually, I spoke directly to Mike Graf. He agreed to offer them commercially on his site:

Well, he is still selling them, so they must be a mover for him.

If you need 16ga low pressure load info, check with these good people: http://wwww.16ga.com

You will enjoy the Lefever. Your next one will be G grade with chain damascus.

Pete
