Do any of you gentlemen have trouble getting the empty hulls out of the little skeeters? I have a few friends who don't care for them for that reason.

I had a pair of Little Skeeters I used once, I fired two shots at station one in Skeet. That was about 3 or 4 years ago, the empty shells are still in the Little Skeeters,I could never get them out.

Thank you 2-Piper, I'm beginning to get the idea. Adding this to what Rocketman said suggests that my 10,800 PSI 28 ga. loads are not that far beyond the working pressure of my gun.
Thanks again to all.

Pete I believe there is another company who makes these. My buddies don't have as much trouble with them as they do with the Little Skeeters. But I can't remember the name of them. I always thought they would be nice to have, because I like a bigger, heavier gun when I shoot targets. Smaller guns seem too whippy. They do create a problem of kicking a gun over to the second barrel with an over/under. That is one drawback. I have one buddy who has to continually keep bumping the butt of his gun on the ground when we shoot skeet when he uses his. But I never have bought any. Maybe I will try them one day. Good luck with getting those hulls out in yours. Best wishes

I have been shooting my own low-pressure 12 gauge #7625 reloads in a Damascus 10 gauge Baker hammerless using steel Gauge-Mates -which are similar to the skeeters.
I've wondered how much the pressure is reduced by firing 12's in 10 bore? Has anyone ever published any legitimate test data on this?

I sure as hell can! I can see this fool bumping the butt on the ground with a live round in the second barrel. If I'm seeing the picture correctly, that's bloody stupid, dangerous and I would not be on the same field with him.

My set of little skeeters in 28 are half of a problem, One preforms perfect, the other locks the shell into it. It has a noticeable ridge just above the shell rim that locks the hull in. I have polished it until I am blue. The mfgr made it difficult to return.

What did I say wrong? If you don't see anything wrong or dangerous about bumping the butt of a loaded shotgun, safety off, loaded shell in the second barrel, you need some serious safety training.
