To get the real deal you need to load Federal Paper hulls. Paper hulls and doubles just go together like fisherman and lies.
Contraire my friend. To get the real deal you need to load RMC brass hulls. Brass hulls and doubles go together like women and wine.
Just funn'n ya KY Jon.
I have loaded all brass hulls in gauges 28 and 16 for close to 3 years using smokeless powders. The loaded brass hulls are shot from a Parker Repro and a #2 AYA. I use both card/fiber and one piece plastic wads. I also use np and cp shot. My favorite upland bird loads for the AYA 16 gauge chronograph around 1220 fps and throw beautiful patterns. These loads are assembled the old way and are comprised of OPC's felt cushion/filler wads and OSC's. The Parker 28 gauge likes one piece plastic wads and has similar velocities and patterns to the AYA. To compound this folly, I actually enjoy the loading process which is accomplished using simple hand tools. After each hunt I reload those shells that I shot that day.
