My Son Alex (William A. Chapin) loading 12 Gauge AA hulls for Tuesday evening trapshooting at the Onondaga Sportsman Club on St. Patrick's Day - March 17, 2020. The virus lockdown may keep us from going out for green ginger ale tomorrow - but it can't keep us from shooting a few lines of trap with friends!

Sometimes items from my collection of vintage reloading equipment can bail me out when I'm in a bind. In this case, it wasn't an emergency or survival situation - just a simple equipment failure that presented a challenge to my shooting plans for the evening.
