usually get a 3 pack every Christmas as a stocking stuffer. Once a

the 4th. They all seem to shoot although occasionally one may not
really look as good as the rest. Being a little shorter than a shotgun
shell, I can get 6 in my 97 winchester plus one in the pipe so I can
usually get 7 in the air at once.


Never thought of using the shotgun. Wonder if my Model 12 with a Cutts
Compensator would work?

I suppose if they make it through the choke it would work. My 97 is
cylinder bore. I think I am getting more height out of them with the
longer barrel too.
