Are we good?

If you're good, I'm good.
Again, I apologize.

My experience with this is like many others. The coin sleeve turns into a slug. What I am using now with great success is condiment cups like for ketchup at fast food places, but the larger size.i cut off the rolled edge and stuff it in the barrel with a rounded dowel then pour down the shot. The waxed paper holds its form out of the barrel but falls away leaving a good pattern- so far….

The coin sleeves sound like an idea worth trying, even if they have been tried before. There is “reinventing the wheel,” and then there is first- hand experience.

I would like to see a good write-up of this loading system after trying it out on a pattern board at different ranges. This might be the best way to show exactly where your shots are hitting, too. Modern SxS doubles can be way off in their regulation.

In many cases, they remain a slug that tumbles.

You are supposed to take the dimes out of the paper before loading!

 

[The Crisco Kid]

In the movie, Billy The Kid told the sheriff to "keep the change" after he shot him with a load of dimes.

I don’t use the coin rollers for shot cups but I do use them for pre measured loads of shot. Fold and glue one end, add the measured shot and fold and glue the other end. Throw them in the bag and when loading bite the end off and pour the shot down the barrel. Toss the empty wrapper on the ground. It’ll breakdown. I tried to use the empty wrapper as an over shot card wad but it does severely effect patterns.

I remember the movie Lord Jim (Joseph Conrad book, starring Peter O'Toole, Jack Hawkins et al) and the scene where he loaded up an old ML Cannon with Coins, and "let her rip" when the villian (Hawkins) and his evil crew walked into a Temple expecting pillage and plunder.
I enjoy such subliminal memory moments triggered by someone elses comment......thank you.

Think of it as "Aloysious in Thunderland".......

Shame on you sir, thats how the Indian mutiny triggered off !

In the movie Resident Evil the lead actress used coins in her shotgun to kill the mutant bad guy.

Sorry pure Hollywood but my point stands.
