When it comes to Browning Citori high grade wood (or any other gun w/ high grade wood), my best advice is to carefully look first at how the grain of the wood is laid out in the butt before buying--es ... |

During the muzzle loading era, charges of shot wrapped in paper and reinforced with fine wire were used to extend the range of loads fired from non-choked barrels. Different gauges of wire were used t ... |

As others have posted, don't do it. Use only 57, 157, or other same size primers (look for 57 somewhere in the size code).
Be advised. All of these obsolete hulls are now at least 30 years old and ... |

Even magnum shot pills up w/ feathers. I don't see it as an issue either. Might even be an asset since the pilled up pellets have a greater frontal area and could actually impart more shock.
