Nick does indeed have it right. It's recoil that impacts wood, and the major factors in recoil are the weight and velocity of the shot charge. Not the pressure.

I have a bunch of the older ones. Remington Peters printed on the head. The only thing printed on the hull is the shot size. Unless I'm missing something, they look to be the same as the current ...

The difference in price for my order would be due to the WI sales tax.

Going to Recob's website, they show the DR-16 as being out of stock. Did they maybe fill those orders they already had, a ...

Thanks! All I have that I could send you in return, if you're interested, are 210 old Federal Game loads. All appear to be once fired and in good condition, but they're old enough to all have brass ...

Here's the recipe I've posted here before. And with DR-16's on the way, I'll be able to it again. Tested by Tom Armbrust several years ago:

Assuming I can find the right wads given no DR16's. Someone suggested Gulandi?
