380 shot shells.

First step is to turn the .223 case back and I built a little fixture to trim them to .980"

Once locked into the fixture I rough cut them long then hit it on a disk sander that gets it to .980"

I used Winchester SPP to ignite the N310 under a cardboard wad with 60 grains of #12 shot (about 250 pellets), then a plastic overshot card crimped in place using an old RCBS 45 ACP round nose seat die.

Not the best pattern in the world but not too bad with the small payload.

We don't have a test area and youngeyes was wanting an example of posting issues.

The links aren't clickable, but if you made it work that is too cool!

[jmorris]

Yeah, that's the issue.  Is the link in the 2nd post also dead?

[Sarge]

It worked for me.

[Youngeyes]

I just did a ctrl C and ctrl V....
