I’ve been eyeing the southern shine stainless chips but wasn’t really thrilled over the price of them. So I went and searched out folks that actually make them. I successfully did so and had to buy 20# to get a “Deal” on them. I’m hoping these are more aggressive than the stainless pins I’ve had. While the pins were great for cleaning......I’m looking for something faster,that’s the idea behind the desire for the chips.
I’m starting this post as kind of a record of what I find with them and how well they work or do not.
For those that don’t know WTH I’m talking about........here’s some pictures.

1 1/8 oz of them in a 12 gauge and you would have something.

LOL, just saying. They look like they are cut off barb wire barbs.

You definitely have the wheels turning now. I have plans for different kind of shells in the future so it would not be out of the question to pack a hull with some.

If they do an exceptional job, are you going to share your source, or will you become our source for the chips.

I’ll more than likely share it. Some of the other offerings have some regular steel within the pins and you have to wash the pins a few times to get it out.
These are said not to have that issue. Time will tell.

When you load them be sure to have plastic between them and the barrel...don't think they would do your favorite shotgun barrel any favors.

Yep. It’s not my original intent for them I assure you. I also know how to load shells for the most part

I have a feeling that with such odd projectile......range will be in feet measured in teens.

Ha, they might surprise you loaded in a shot cup. But even then I wouldn't expect over around 20 yards tops if that.

Definitely following this. Have 5# of the pins, like the whole concept of the chips but they do seem high for what I think is left over from a machining operation. Would not mind getting at least 10 lbs at half as much per pound as the regular pins and chips. Would make it easier to think about a larger capacity tumbler.

I thought this was going to be potato chips that won't stain my hands while eating them

The odd shape will have that stuff go all over the place once it hits air. It’ll take a stiff cup with no slits to make any range.

Maybe a glacier style round. Pins in wax or jello type substance to hold it together till it hits?
