Description:The only difference between this fuse adapter and a common CS copper adapter for rifled shells is the small hole in the bottom. This variation got past Chuck Jones in his book. The small hole better maintained the compression required to burst the case shot shells which had a relatively small powder cavity. I'd guess there is only one of these for every 25 or so of the common types with the larger hole in the bottom.
