Has anybody ever done this besides me

too expensive for me.....if i tested many loads and had extras just laying around i would....done it to many shot shells.....love the ones with the totally cheap EVERYTHING....love the cheesy wads ive pulled out of some....i also do look at wads i find from the diffrent loads.....ive found better wads from cheap cheap dove loads compared to one of my loads i did test this year...not sure what it came out of though.....i had 2 clear wads and flight controls laying out there....not sure if it was rem or fed....but it was generic...splits went clear down the side...had no base...nothing...piece of thin plastic with 4 splits clear down the sides.....flight controls look nasty.....i want to get a film of one going through the air in slow motion....no lie i had them hit targets at 30yds.....and go through at 25yds.....i also love the look of copper plated #4s....plain nasty looking......

I once saw the contents of a Hevi-Shot load that steered me away from 'em. The pellets were not very symetrical and had some jagged points on them that I would think could potentially tear up a barrel.

I've seen a few Remingtons disected years back that looked like the shot was swept up off the floor. They've come along way since then.

wow......collected a neat wad the other day.....it was from an OLD OLD winchest double X turkey mag....2 3/4 in 1 5/8 oz of 4s...old red hulls.......it was a clear plastic wrapped around the shot....with a while/clear plastic cap....the clear plastic was wrapped around the shot charge..and the cap over it i think....fired and and saw it fly apart 5yds out....neat..enver saw one like that!!
