We do not have any sealer yet or waterproofing on our shells.

What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

Shouldn't have to yourself on premium ammo but sealing shells is easy.

I had never heard of Monarch shotshells before but I got a couple hundred #3 shot for under $20 a box and they worked about as good as all the others. Cycled better than Kent fastteel in my stoeger and the bright orange hulls made it easier to pick up empties.

This is actually great to know. One thing I kick myself over is every time I end up shooting 15 shells and recover 13 hulls or whatever, bright orange would make them easier to pick out for sure.

Every shotgun I've owned I've honed with atf and scotch bright with the the patch rod and a drill. Everything patterns better. My personal favorite is Kent 3" #3 @full price. I'm mostly a discount shooter and shooting Winchester expert2 or federal #2. I personally think shooting the same fps shot consistently is most important. For long shots on geese I like heavy metal 3" bb. Hop that helps
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
