Loaded my own spreaders for the 2 1/2 with a similar load to what Pastor Charlie discussed some time ago. Finally got to try them out. Great for those tight chokes. Cheap versus buying the RST’s. Now if I would just learn to shoot where they are going instead of behind the bird! I like my Elsie 16 just as well, just wasn’t at the front of the safe last weekend! Fall finally arriving in Texas.
