Yes I have. Unfortunately his guns were waaaay beyond my monthly budget. I've seen the cartridges he calls "schriffle". Also too expensive for large volume shooting. Good Craftsmanship tho.

For anyone interested in trying, you CAN compress black powder in a shotshell. I'm up to .250" & no problems.
Not a matter of need. I just wanted it to try long shots like 45-70 etc are capable of.....AND it's different! Ever seen a 20ga at bpcr?
Would you feel confident shooting a Target at 600 yds with a rem870 & Hastings bbl?
Size die ordered for Minnie's to straighten out skirts that are dented in shipping. Unfortunately buckshot no longer makes custom dies, so I had to look elsewhere. Lee will do them custom, but in past experience their turnaround time can be either short or long.

Also putting the finishing touches on separate 50yd and 100yd test ranges at the new house
Got some very, very heavy bullets on order. Made from Lyman 57730 minie with a solid flat base
Was told bullets on way....about 735 gr
I may have cracked the problem of sabots inside sabots and how it's hard to stop the rotation of the separate parts and glues don't seem to work...... maybe more later.........

I now have a smokeless 720 gr load (actual weight of bullets, not 735) that hits 1000 fps+. Accuracy has not improved as of yet. Not out of ideas yet tho.....
