    Loading shotshells with Hollywood Automatic?

    Has anyone loaded shotshells with a Hollywood Automatic? I have a couple but haven't tried it.

    I did, but it was in the late 1970's, when I was rangemaster for our department. Out machine had been modified to feed wads from a feed tube.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Fred! Were those plastic wads or older fiber wads?

    Still have that Dircks (TriStandard) reloader?

    Hi beeser,

    It was modified to load plastic wads. They were laid on their side in a rectangular aluminum tube that matched the width and length of the wads. They were turned the right way as they positioned to be inserted into the cases. It was a pretty slick conversion and worked pretty good.

    Yep, still have the TriStandard. You still looking for one?? Let me know if you are....
