I am thinking, the gun wants to be in good order as I imagine there must be a bit of over pressure possibly, due to increased diameter of projectile. I think you referred to shooting true cylinder as any choking could be problematic. Seems getting the right cut is pretty crucial. Thx for demo.

@jpfo1776 That's a good observation but I don't think it's a significant problem. I have shot hundreds of these through several different guns including a very old, wor-out single-shot 20 gauge and have never experienced any signs of high pressure at all.

Please describe exactly how you are cutting the shell? Partially through all the way round or all the way through part way round?

[Desertscout1]

@SpaceFrawg We cut all the way through, all the way around except for about 1/8" or so to hold it together. If I wanted to take the time, I would cut half way around twice leaving 1/16" or so intact in two places on opposite sides. This makes them feed a little more reliably if I want to put more than one in the gun

@Desertscout1 Thanks for the detailed info. That is a handy little trick to know.

Thanx Cope, went out and tried this this afternoon, worked great.

Would have been nice if you had been able to do some close up shots of the shells while you were cutting them. Very interesting.
