Hi, Folks. I have an english style head on my shot snake that measures 1.25 and 1.5 ounces of shot, but I would like to be able to measure 1 1/8 ounces and maybe even 1 ounce loads as well. Does anyone have a head they would part with?
Thanks,
Bryan
 
You will find that the smaller head has a smaller dia. also and will not fit your flask.(been there!) But, go to a hobby store or some good hardware stores and they sell brass tubing in all kind of various dia. Find one that is a perfect inside fit and cut to length so it fits between the "gates" of the shot flask. Now throw a few loads of shot to see what it is throwing. If it is still too much shorten the insert until it throws the amount of shot you want. (been there, done that, works good) :relax:
 
I guess what I should have asked was, does anyone have a shot measure that will measure 1 or 1 1/8 ounces of shot they will part with? I think I like the measures with a bag better than the type you dip into a bag of shot. Let me know what you have and price requirements.
Thanks,
Bryan
