And I used to load a lot of chilled (soft) shot years ago


I doubt any of us alive and posting on this forum ever had a "soft" shot shell. Going through my old ammo catalogues I find both Western and Remington offering a few "soft" shot loadings up to 1942, but by 1949-50 they are gone. Chilled shot was the first upgrade from original soft shot. They are not the same thing. Loads with "chilled" shot were about $2.50 more per thousand than "soft" shot --

1915-16
