Okay, I think I have a bit better of an understanding. I'm more interested in accurate than building high pressure than needed. So now it is a matter of finding something that shoots well in my gun...

^^^^^ See this is the kind of thing I can nerd out on and read over and over until I start to understand these things that I'm trying to learn. solid material from a reputable source. That is what I...

OK so that is what I've been trying to find out.

I've been doing rifle and pistol ammo for many years but only recently got into shotgun reloading. With rifle and pistol it really doesn't matter...

So one of the things I wondered about was the safety of using a different shell than what the load calls for. Swapping out bird shot for a slug is an old trick and that's what makes me think it would...

Howdy y'all, its been a while, life got busy and only recently got back into casting lead again.

I have some pure lead 7/8 oz Lee Key Drive and Lee .690 Cal Round ball (LRB) that I cast up and...

Very cool stuff guys

Thanks for the input

Maybe we should start letting our voices be heard. Lol.

I've looked at the Lane Tool and that looks like my best option.

Have any of you guys used any of these tools?

The fella I talked to at rcbs also suggested 4D but yeah wow you really pay top...

What is CH?

Does anyone here have experience with RCBS custom die shop? How much did it cost was it worth it for you need? I'm thinking just a sizing die not a full set.

.410 Lee loaders run $60-100 now that they are out of production. I'm really amazed that more people don't reload this caliber more; as expensive the ammo is to buy compared to the cost of reloading...

I looked for .444 brass but came up really short in my area. .303 I've gotten from $2/20, $3/20& $15/20 (the $15/20 was at first before I really started shopping it around) so the .303 won by default...

So I've been gone for a while but I am happy to say I'm back.

One of the things I've been having a lot of fun with is converting .303 into .410 shots shells, but I've run into an issue: after 3-4...

Buck-and-ball was used in smoothbore muskets, generally 69 caliber, for shooting into a closely-packed line of infantry at close (50yds or less) range. Given the accuracy, or rather lack thereof, of...

I haven't heard that it would "behoove of you" since I was a boot. I've looked at them and I might pick up a box next check if I can.

Got any pictures of this set up? I'm really interested in seeing it

The birdshot was mostly to retain as much of the original payload weight as possible. Now that I know a little more (still a lot to learn) we may do away with the birdshot. We tried a load with (2)...

Ok it's going to take me a minute but here we go

34c = 34 caliber
36c = 36 caliber
BS. = Bird Shot (not bull s:-0)

These were the best...

Ok so we played around with the new molds and loaded 2 of every combo we could think of using .34 cal RB, .36 cal RB, .36 cal conical, .358 cal SWC and bird shot keeping everything as close to the...

I picked these up today. The double mold is for a .36 BP pistol so I'll try all three projos and see what works the best.

I went with the slug instead of the buckshot because I don't have to buy anything to make the slugs I already have the molds and casting equipment if I wanted to spend more money Id look into just...

At 10 yards not with the slug only the cut shell.

The second picture is the first shot of Buck and Ball load while I was aiming at the bottom edge.
The 4th pic is showing the primers and that there are no signs of over pressure.
The 5th and the...

So we shot from about 10 paces (USMC 30" steps, left foot, drill foot, left foot, kill foot.... Ok enough moto) first I fired standard shells at a soda...
