Today was the first time I ever opened a tin of pellets upside down

Not good but try this. While primarily a pistol shooter I also shoot trap on Sundays after church with the same group of guys. It's probably more a social event than it is a shooting event.

I reload for everything I shoot and have, upon occasion, dumped a partial bottle of either #8 shot or some kind of fine-grained shotgun powder all over my bench. I don't want to clean up ANY mess, but these are at the top of my frustration list.

Warming up for that "wet" shooting, eh?

Was the tin upside down, or were you?

Ahh, the dreaded tin of spilt pellets.

My worst experience was arriving at a match to find a tin had opened inside my pistol box...at least they were all in one place.

The last match I shot at Camp Perry another person knocked their entire tin on the floor...pellets everywhere.

It's a thing...

I instruct my students to never shoot from a full can. Always transfer about 100 pellets to an empty can and use that.

Gravity; it’s a law!

Is that after spilling the first 400 pellets?

If you never spilled a tin of pellets, you aren't shooting that long...
