I am shocked at what some of you were thinking....
I had to resort to somewhat old technology today as I couldn't find my digital scale so I used my 40+ year-old RCBS 1010. Both scales are tag-teaming me as I couldn't find the RCBS for two years and then stumbled on it where I put it while unsuccessfully looking for my Lyman digital.
I rolled up some woodcock loads today for tomorrow. I think we'll finally have some cool, dry weather after temps in the 80s when it wasn't raining cats and dogs and snakes. Using a Manufrance (MF) roll crimper, MF adjustable shot/powder dipper, MF 16 ga. shell loading block, and Cheddite paper hulls, I loaded few shells for my 1930's MF Ideal 302 16 ga. No, I don' t celebrate Bastille Day.

Very nice looking roll crimps (and photographic work too) Gil S. Makes me want a better looking loading block. Now, where does one find Cheddite paper hulls in 16ga?
Thanks for adding to my wish list...

Ballistic Products had Cheddite papers in 16 and 20 a couple years ago. I stocked up.
The 20s are a nice "signal yellow". The only drawback was that the 16s were blue, not purple. |

Man-O-Man-O-Manufrance! That's a very nice-looking one, Gil S. A nice Ideal is one of the few items on my "must have" list that is still unfulfilled. Thanks for the pics.
Happy New Year,
Tony |

Tony, thanks. I owe the acquisition to two fellas who post here. The shells work. Today's effort.
Floyd, Sadie, Pop and I had a good day today on the nicest weather day we've had this year. Gil

Byrdog, shoot me a PM with price so we don't hijack Gil's post. His pics are nice to interupt. Could use a few hundred new or once fired... |
