Cut shells - 70 cal "glaser" round or an accident waiting to happen?
I did a search on the forum to find any existing threads on this and I didn't find any.
Here is one of the videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3M46XVfVOU "Gonna show ya a trick ma dad taught me a long long time ago..." So I've read where people have really bad reactions at the mere mention of cut shells. I can see how subsequent shots would be dangerous if any of the cut shell was left in the barrel. I have some questions myself - like, I know Federal doesn't make FLITECONTROL® wads in every shot size, but doesn't it do basically the same thing - keep the shot relatively tight for a long distance? |

The flite control wad is sized to the bore. The cut shell is sized to the chamber (larger than the bore). Thus the crux of the problem..............

I can't thing of one good reason to fire anything from a shotgun that was not intended to be fired from a shotgun. If you want to shoot slugs, buy a box of slugs.

A whole case of slugs is cheaper and easier than a new shotgun and facial reconstructive surgery.

I've been tagging the other posts with "cut shell".
When I first searched I didn't turn up anything, I just did a general search under "search forum". |
