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.
Use a small jar (and old vitamin bottle works well). Put the seeds in and fill with cold water. Store in the fridge, and change the water for fresh daily. This is important--you're trying to imitate snowmelt here, and how snowmelt apparently works is to wash away germination inhibitors in the seed.
