If you had a Steel Shot Special, you could have bought steel shot instead of those Kent loads, and saved a ton, Larry. If you tell me you have a Boss pigeon gun from between the wars, that needs the Kent loads, I'll know we pay retired Lt Cols too much!
I hope you have lots of years popping off expensive rounds, in any event, Larry.
Best,
Ted
Ted, I wouldn't have saved anything on shells. One outdoor writer "secret"--which I have "blown" on occasion in the past--is that we can get reasonable amounts of ammunition, for field test and review, for free. So the price was definitely "right" on those few boxes of Kent TM's!
No Boss pigeon gun here. But I do have a pair of Army & Navy BLE's from between the wars, originally ordered by a British brigadier.
And by God, they can take away my stars on doublegunshop, but Uncle Sam didn't demote me from COL to LTC upon my retirement.
