Any idea how much it would cost to ship to 48356? These are all 2 5/8" correct? |

I used the quick UPS tool. Says about $27 to 48356. But I will be using the system at work, and we get way better rates at work. I didn't weigh the box yet either and guessed at 20 lbs. |

Jim,
I won the GB auction. I’ll have a lot of fun with those at an upcoming tower shoot. Let me know where you’d like me to send the check.

Joe,
What gun will you be shooting them in?

I’ll be using them in a 16 ga Poli with nice long 32 in barrels to reach out and touch high pheasants:) |

Great
Please take a cleaning rod and some water/windex to clean the bores when
they get caked with black powder residue.
Have a wonderful hunt

Thanks, Mike. How many shots between cleaning would you recommend? |

You can shoot 25 + shots no problem. These have fiber wads, unlike Goex which had a line of BP that used typical plastic which melts in the bore and left long strips of melted plastic to deal with. I have a case myself and have a lot of fun with them, although some dogs don't like the sharper report at first. |

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably shoot one box just for fun. And, I’ll bring a few boxes to the Southern SxS to shoot in the black powder event. I’ve been reading about 67mm shells in 65mm chambered guns. I don’t plan to shoot these in my 65mm hammer gun, but it does seem 67mm shells are designed to work in 65mm chambered shotguns. I also noticed that my B&P F2 shells are also 67mm. They are too hot for my old hammer gun. I wonder what the general opinion is here. |
