As I, and others, mentioned today's plated shot is not nearly as thick a coating as the old days. I am not saying true plated shot is unavailable, just that most of it that is called plated is not a bit harder than unplated, because the copper wash is so thin.
That said, does anybody know how good the quality is, of the coppered shot, in RST's 3 1/2 - 1 1/4 pigeon loads? They are put up in blue paper cases, and are fast becoming the choice of many top live pigeon shooters. There was a preponderance of those empties lying around at the last flyer shoot I attended, about a month ago. Rick Mein was shooting them, as were several other top competitors.
