“ As a ruddy youth, odd job money was tight during school. On a good year, Christmas would include a box of Super X #5 shot under the tree“


That would be my number one birthday gift as as a young pheasant hunter for sure ! Nothing better, with one exception, and that was a new box of those dang “too kool for school” Purple colored, mega high brass Imperial magnums !

But, they were not nearly as deadly on the wild phez as the old Super x #5’s were , just prettier....
