A few years ago I hunted for brown bear in Kamchatka, Russian Far East. One of the guides had a 16 gauge single barrel with handloaded brass shells. We talked about it through the interpreter and I learned that handloading was fairly popular there. After the hunt we stopped at a gun shop in Petropavlosk and I bought a nice lithograph showing the shotshell loading process. It's in Cyrillic and prompts a lot of talk when people see it on the wall of my room. Silvers
