I loaded some black powder 12ga loads using Magtech brass for the first time last week.
It was by no means a hot load. 85gr FFg with felt wad, lube sandwich, lyman slug sitting in a modified (cut base off) plastic wad. I dont have a slug mold yet of proper diameter but wanted to play with what I got. Load was nice and accurate enough in my smooth bore double barrel.
One of the 25 cases split about one inch down from from the top (along length of case). I suspect it was one of the cases I may have overcrimped (wish I had kept track).
Before I reload again, I was thinking annealing will make these last longer. Thoughts?
