| Boss is selling 16 ga purple Cheddite 2.75” hulls, their new copper shot, and a new 1-1/8 oz capacity wad. Not really a bargain but something new to experiment with. |

| At that price, I can squint my eyes real tight and make believe my blue Cheddites are purple. |

| pricey indeed. $26 for 200 wads. $15 pound for the copper shot. Dont see anything about what data they have for loading or anything on weight vs other types of shot. |

@ Riflemaster  I’ll suggest that to the wife when she wants a slightly different color paint!
I ordered some of each before they sold out. Still waiting on delivery. They make a lot of claims about the shot. We’ll see. I still have some Tin plated bismuth, some regular bismuth and the new BPI copper Saturn shot, albeit all different sizes. The patterning board will be the judge. Something to experiment with before duck season. |

| Like I've said in the past. The manufactures and dealers are pricing the shooting sport out of the business. Just powder and primers puts the sting in the wallet to most of the generation below 60 years of age. Oh I've heard of some areas having a spike in attendance buct it hasn't held. |
