I haven't experienced Shotgun's powder drop tube pickup but Bill's scenario has happened to me.  Have pywood bins attached to both sides of reloading cabinet, one for hulls on left and one for bag of wads, tools, bottlecaps, sieves, and coke bottle funnels on right.  A bit fast on the handle return on a 9000G and the primer (particularly W-209s, less trouble with Remmmys) can be retained and "flung" far and wide by the primer drop tube.  I've also had the spring-loaded gate somehow eject a primer from the tray itself despite the plastic cover.  Primer tray on right hand, hulls on right hand, yes it can happen as I've found my "lost primer" among them several times.  I maintain that loading by multiples of one hundred at a time encourages one to account for the little critters.  Shotgun accounted for his; one smart feller.

OK, if you guys don't think I should perform the test, who should do it?  I, personally, would like to see this test performed.  However, much as other posters question this situation, they don't seem to be interested in seeing the test performed.  I'm still interested in doing the test if someone will send me a few guns. I honestly don't have any test guns to use.  I will return all guns to donors.  |  |  |

In response to Gary D, 3 years ago, at trap, I had a shot that sounded funny but, I broke the bird. I checked the barrel and the wad was still in there. I would never believed that was possible. Just luckey I looked. |  |  |

Yeah, we would like to hear a little more about that situation. |  |  |
