Getting a Good Pattern from a Shotgun Reload
The secret of loading to get good shooting from a shot-cartridge, is a system of uniform measurement of the charges of powder and shot; the even distribution of these charges level in the shell, so that the wads may lie horizontally on both powder and shot, and in placing them with uniform pressure each time, so that all shells will be loaded precisely alike. These results are only obtainable by the use of proper charging and loading tools, being graduated by actual weight of whatever powder the sportsman desires to use. The system of measuring with brass plates as used in the combination chargers is positive, each one being stamped for the charge for which it is to be used. There is not the slightest danger of mistake as these plates are specially flattened and rolled to a uniform thickness, not varying one-thousandth of an inch, so that all the plates and holes are exactly alike. With these outfits 25, 50 or 100 shells can be loaded at one time, and will not show any variation one from another.
