Message: <blockquote data-quote="mtngunr" data-source="post: 4363754" data-attributes="member: 46104">I used bunches and bunches of the crimped shotshells in the smoothbore Remington garden gun...folk shooting encapsulated shot in rifled barrels just have no idea how effective a shotshell can really be from an actual shotgun, them as folk using birdshot in their rifled slug guns and calling shotloads a waste except at near contact distance. I assume the video pointed out the crimped loads for smoothbore only.PS- watched video, and can only say his results are from a Henry where they don't seem to have down boring a rimfire shotgun barrel, and he and anyone else might get decent results in rifled barrels with unencapsulated shotshells, but the capsules are to prevent leading of rifled barrels, and really only purpose, and the spin it imparts to shot opens patterns in general in same rifled barrels. If leading barrel of a rifle is of no concern, then go right ahead...it generally will do better than capsules, while capsules in smoothbore often TOO tight and Glaser effect in close.</blockquote>
