    My chaps are abt 25 years old and getting worn but still usable. There was no cutout needed, they didn't cover the butt. Don't fit as well as they did either????

    Gunz are icky.
    The dimes in a shotshell is Hollywood boolshite.
    1.) Nobody would waste coin like that.
    2.) Ballistic performance is very poor.
    Breach loaders had ready made shells.
    Muzzleloaders would use nails or stones if shot ran out.

    I had a neighbor when I lived in Dallas that loaded up dimes for his 12 ga. claimed they were devastating at short range, but expensive. I think it was 15 dimes to a load.

    I loaded a few rounds just to see how they worked.
    At short range the dimes act much like a slug.
    Further out the dimes fly erratically and don’t have much penetration.

    Before I left the northwest I had another pair (not insulated), they would probably be about that old or older today. I had limited room to store stuff on my bike when I left, a second pair of chaps didn't make the cut.

    FYI.
    A dime will not fit in the muzzle of a full choke 12ga. It will, however, fit in a modified, improved cylinder, etc.......

    If you are shopping used shotguns, a dime is handy to have.

    Nevermind.
    The YouTube windbag actually mentioned it in the first couple of minutes.
