Pattern Shotgun
I'm getting ready to pattern a couple of shotguns and my first problem is determining the number of pellets in the shells. I don't reload shotshells anymore, so I plan to use factory ammo.
I though about poking a few holes in the base of the hull, just above the brass, then soaking the shell in water. The shell should then be safe to take apart so I can count the pellets.
Is there a better/safer means?
