[QUOTE="rcs33, post: 2304189, member: 117175"] Im excited about it. My oldest boy won it in our hunting club’s kid’s shooting contest. We took it out last week for the first time and 2 of the loads that came with the gun were squibs—1 primer failed to detonate, but the second made it halfway down the barrel— had to drive it out with a stick of 1/4” allthread), so we called it quits for the day— never, ever trust loads from a third party— funny, i thought i already knew that. Die set arrived yesterday and we’ll get after it tonight. I pulled all the bullets from the shells we hadnt fired and although there werent any totally empty cases, about half of them had spherical powder (maybe H 450?) and the others all had cylindrical (who knows?), i didnt weigh the charges that came out, but whoever loaded them definitely didnt weigh every charge. Anyway— thanks for everyone’s responses— very helpful. [/QUOTE]
