John Boy,

What's the actual grain weight of your filled shot capsules?
  

There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading, the few who learn by observation, and the rest who have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

When a wee lad I shot quite a few Doves roosting in a tree with factory bird shot.

22LR shot shells worked well on low roosting Banty chickens too, and still do when the flock needs thinning.    Wink

BP - in the first post ...
* Plug a Lee 0.3cc dipper to drop 1.23grs of Bullseye
* Number of pieces of shot in one capsule = 169 of #12 
Craig - have no Idea - never bought any retail shells

John Boy,

I saw the 1.23grs of Bullseye for the powder charge.
What I meant to ask is what was the total grain weight of the combined 169 pellets of #12 shot?
