Doug,
Not to sound like a smartass here, but thinking and planning ahead is easier said than done. A slice of being realistic has to be factored in.
Loading guns into the car for a 15 hour trip with a full family and luggage takes a miracle of planning and squeezing in every last item. Finally in God's country we go out back and shoot a bit of trap and the amount we shoot varies. Sometimes its a little, sometimes a lot. I'd never know how much to bring or how much to leave for next time.
On other occasions I have to fly 1000 miles via Chicago, O'hare or Chicago, Midway. Bringing the gun is a nightmare, but I do it. Bringing a case of ammunition is a huge surcharge and a nightmare.
Then there is the cost basis of paying the hazardous shipping charges to ship in Polywad or RST to Illinois.
Then there is the issue that nobody wants to mail ammunition to me in Illinois because of our damn gun laws.
I appreciate the desire to protect our guns from abuse, but I also know there has to be a quality 2.75" light load shell out there I could find and use safely if I was trained on what to look for. I'm sure there is a list of shells to avoid entirely as well but I haven't heard them mentioned by name.
Has anyone thought of creating a small document that lists many of the common shotgun shells and their documented pressures for the gun community?
