    Your suggestion to look in Lyman got me to studying a bit harder about using Unique in a rifle, even though Alliant doesn't list it. I'm new to reloading, so forgive the ignorance of my questions,...

  10. Are Littleton Shotmaker drippers labeled with the shot size?

    How can I tell what the shotsize is for the drippers on a Littleton Shotmaker? I found one for sale, but the owner doesn't know what size shot the drippers will produce.

    Are the drippers labeled?
