| WJ. Nice photos. Great shooting. Looks as if most of your pellets went into the head and neck. I wish I could shoot like that. Thanks for sharing. |

8 gauge, WOW. The only 8 gauge I ever saw or shot was a single shot industrial shotgun and I was de-slaging a coal fired boiler with it.

Hi Rex, might be some of your hulls i now reload like the black remington
unibody and the green remington industrial hulls they both need to be resized to fit the 8 gauge shotgun, Jim. |
