So what are the dynamics of a balanced field load? âThe less energy transfer, i.e., less powder, combined with a light load, i.e., short shot column, the less pellet deformation occurs,â Hollinger explains. âThe surface area of the shot column that comes into contact with the bore is reduced.
Step 1. Save the seeds of peas and beans by allowing the pods to dry out on the plant. Pick the pods about a month after harvest time is past, and spread them out to dry for another two weeks before shelling them. Alternately, you can store peas and beans within the pod.
Keep seeds in a closed container such as a sealed mason jar. Place a cheesecloth bag of dry powdered milk at the bottom of the jar and put the jar in the refrigerator or freezer for long term seed storage. Label the contents clearly and date it as well.
