Shell measurement

Post by PTCrabs » Thu Oct 20, 2016 5:22 pm

Do you know what it mean when it says 23/32 on the opening size? I need shells that are 1 1/8- 1 1/2 openings. I've ordered on line but when I got them they are huge and heavy. Need to try a different shell and company

I went ahead and split this topic into it's own section. I am going to link our preferred shell guide, it goes into depth on each shell type, and should help you id the shell you where looking for on your other post. Try pearled shells, and silver mouthed shells, as they have a tendency to be lighter. Magpies, and goldmouthed tend to be heavier. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=92552
