Well thanks for the offer, Paul. I have a friend here who tossed me a few pieces when he found out what I was doing, but not sure about brass life as they do get worked a bit with the 44 mag sizer so I may just take you up on that. If anyone has a few pounds of #6's, or even #4's, they might be willing to part with so I could test them I'd be happy to reimburse. I have a few boxes of factory pheasant loads so I may just have to sacrifice a few shells for the cause.
