OP shrapnel Sidelock Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 218 Likes: 509 Bozeman, MT	Originally Posted by PALUNC What shells were you using? Reloads. I have saved all my factory 2 1/2 inch hulls and set my Mec 600 jr with a plate on the crimp side, so it will crimp the 2 1/2 inch shells. I also use reclaimed shot and Red Dot powder with wads from Ballistic Products which are made for the 2 1/2 inch shells. I also put an “over the shot” card on top to keep any imperfect shells from leaking shot. I am going to take it grouse hunting this fall, I plan on using some 1 7/8 inch shells my son found in a pawn shop. I have been shooting grouse with a Burgess wrist slide action shotgun with 2 inch shells that I bought from an estate and another couple of Damascus hammer guns with those short shells… Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is, listening to Texans..John Steinbeck

I would be cautious about the ex-pawn shop 1 7/8 inch cartridges. Short cases does not necessarily equate to low pressure. Last edited by Parabola; 08/26/23 09:49 AM.
