Reloading
Do you remember the first centerfire rifle you fired and do you reload for that caliber today?

[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2512670, member: 109862"] and I don’t have any of the old school shotshells of his yet but they were different! “Imperial” brand (made in Canada by CIL I believe). You recall the whole reason they went to 3 and 3.5 inch shells was to try and duplicate the performance of old school high brass 2.75 inch lead shot loads. Whether they succeeded or not is debatable. 1.5 oz payload I believe, brass halfway up the dang shell! They don’t make them like that anymore, the Winchester super x steel goose loads in 2.75” don’t hold a candle to those vintage shells both for kicking the snot out of the shooter and right properly blasting whatever is in the way off the face of the earth! 🤣. Perhaps a product of “the good old days” before pressure testing haha. Dang those shells STOMPED! [/QUOTE]
