    Rolled 4 to try yesterday with #5 shot and 100 grains of FG. I cut the hills a little longer this time around. The chamber is 2 7/8” and I cut the hulls to 2 3/4” before roll crimping. Think I’ll be cutting them this long or longer to keep some extra hull length so,if, and when, I need to shorten after shooting I have room to play with.



    Sealed and numbered…

    Tested the above loads the other day….






    Here are my targets from a few days ago. I tested 100 grains of FG in a Winchester hull. I loaded with a 1/4” nitro wad and 1 5/8oz of #5’s. It didn’t group as tight at 25 yards than my #6 load but IT DID have more hits at 40 yards than my test with #6 nickel plated shot. That was kind of confusing to me. It didn’t pattern any better than the RST load at 25 yards but patterned better than any load I’ve tried at 40 yards to date. At fifty yards I only had 3 hits VS with the #6’s.

    I then tested all brass hulls with the same exact load but added a 3/4” fiber cushion was over the 1/4” nitro wad. The groups were poor compared to the plastic hull loads.


    Plastic hulls…

    40 yards….




    50 yards…





    All brass…
