• Local grouse hunting update
• Pointer & flusher combo on grouse
• Getting into ballistics
• Appropriate ammo for vintage shotguns
• Low pressure loads
• Analyzing the ammo for the actual gun you're using
• The components of a shotgun shell
• High brass vs low brass?
• Assessing the types of shot
• Patterning the shot
• Lead vs non-toxic shot
• Shot size and the pellet count reference chart
• Different shot per barrel?
• Picking the correct shell off the shelf
