Just updating this thread.
The lite loads from RST performed exceptionally well when I did my part.
I will be buying more of the 2.5" purple shell loads from them.

I was the only one shooting a 16, my model 12, and everyone else had a 12 gauge.
I was the first to limit out too! I'm sure my spot at more to do with it than anything. |

We hunted and fished with a guide, T J Laviolette (Troutwest Fly Fishing) who had a German Wirehair Pointer at the time. Google Troutwest Fly Fishing for current information.
Thank you for that in ... |

Trust me, I miss the hydraulic rack and pinion days!

Tony,
Very informative post! It is interesting that there is not a tighter tolerance on the length control of these hulls....
It is hard for me to wrap my head around that much variance between ... |
