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.
Place the seeds in a plastic food storage bag and seal. Place the bag into the refrigerator but not in the rear as this could cause freezing. Keep the seeds in the refrigerator for four weeks at the start of winter. Remove the seeds from the refrigerator and peat moss six to eight weeks before the last frost of winter.
