Shenk is at the Vintagers and I spoke with Jake Shenk at length about his business. His ammo is pricey; I bought a box of 1 oz 2.5” 1,180 fps 12 gauge shells to try on the course. $24 a box. Mr Shenk said pressure is 7,500 psi on what I purchased. His reloading equipment is from Italy and he just received his 16 gauge press. He indicated it will take until next year before he is ready to bring his short 16s to market. He has had some challenges getting powder but he apparently is getting what he needs. He just can’t make it fast enough. He is very young, maybe 25 and is very driven to produce a quality product. I don’t recognize the hull. It is not Cheddite but it seems to used a Cheddite primer. I did not get to ask him about that. I wish him success. RST is not here which I find strange since the event is practically in RSTs back yard.
