That's my mule-earred Rossi Overland coach gun — 12 gauge, 20-inch barrels, external hammers. The pic was taken during our territorial championship, so that particular shell wasn't brass. Just a Remington Nitro round. With the pace of competition, you can't be sure you'll recover your brass and when you do, it's often stomped pretty good.What type of shotgun is that Brett? And is the ejected cartridge brass? I'm guessing a Greener if you are going for authenticity.
I do have three boxes of Magtech all-brass shotshells that I handload, though. And I mean "handload"...can't run 'em through the press. I like to use 'em when I'm shootin' for style.
And just to quibble...cuz I'm feelin' a little quibblous ...that shell wasn't exactly "ejected" since our sport doesn't allow automatic ejectors on SxS scatter guns. My chambers are honed to allow easy shuckin'.
