    Hello All!

    Hi Eric! Thank you for the kind words on the article. I'm flattered that you still hunt them. I haven't made any flatties in a couple of years, mainly because nobody has asked for any.

    Hevi X shotshells from Hevi Shot?

    Aero aide? would that be like the belt on Black Cloud pellets? or a fin? Either way I bet it would be a pain to get it to release from the mold. John
