Billy D,

I liked your post. Back in 1988, after I bought the farm, I went fishing on a local creek. I had a 3-inch M65 S&W .357 stoked with factory shotshells. My neighbors advised me there were rattlers along the creek in May. Well, they were correct, there were lots of them.

I do not recall if they were CCI or Speer shotshells, but they did not reliably spray a shot pattern when needed; about half broke up like they should and the remainder were like "solids" when a rattler was in my path. My minature brass shotshells open up 100% of the time. Be well.

THANKS ADAM, JUST THE TRUTH.

DIDN'T WE GET INTO THIS SUBJECT BEFORE OR WAS IT ANOTHER FORUM?

I HAD TOLD OTHER POSTERS ABOUT THE ARTICLE MIKE VENTURINO HAD WRITEN IN HANDLOADER MAGAZINE ABOUT 45 SHOTSHELLS. VERY IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE. HE TESTED SEVERAL SHOT SIZES. IT WAS VERY UNBIASED.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ISSUE IT WAS IN AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND IT, SO THAT MEANS IT MUST BE RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE SOMEWHERE. I'LL DO SOME MORE DIGGING.

BEST WISHES
