LOAD OF THE WEEK- 12

COLD DUCK

High speed 12-gauge Tungsten/Iron #4 (TS04)  

A new waterfowl season is approaching.  Being READY is everything.   Here is a new wad and a new opportunity.   The short TPS35MM (#3227735)  

CURMUDGEON greatly appreciates the advantage of being able to place a gas seal under the shotcup in the 2.75” hull.   The double gas seal advantage (gas seal PLUS the wad seal) evens out high speed shot-to-shot velocity.   (A blessing for you better shooters).
