Perfect. Thank you for taking the time to write that.
"And "pressure signs"... there really aren't dependable pressure signs like with brass cartridge reloading. The first you are likely to get...
Thank you, once again. I do believe you have pointed me in that direction before. I have the volumes printed off in my loading binder.
I haven't made the run to grab the other powders yet, but I...
So far 700X is looking really good. 12S0, TGT12, and WAA12SL 1oz load options in Cheddite hulls,with Cheddite primers, 1200fps in the 7500psi range. Nice, safe, and simple.
Same with the American...
If you have any input on the above comment I would appreciate it.
I am not ruling out Unique, but I can use it in other loads. I managed to find some 700x and American select. I am just searching...
Thanks Longbow. That's a lot to work with.
I'm not going to start anywhere near, and likely won't finish up anywhere near the high side, either. I'm looking for a functional load with an easy...
I would really appreciate that. It's at least one more point of reference. Were you using your Fiocchi hulls in this load?
I had read that I won't get any accuracy if I don't have a good fit. One recommendation was to fit the wad and slug in the barrel and force it through on a scale, you want about 10 lbs resistance to...
Thanks for the replies,
It would make things a lot easier if I could find some more common hulls.
Is cream of wheat used to replace wads and cards? Just fill up any empty space as you see fit,...
I jumped into shotshell reloading last year on a whim and quickly realized it isn't as simple as brass rounds. I got some good info here, but started building a house before I got myself tuned in. I...
I didn't get a chance to load up any others today, but I did have a look at the ones pictured. The second black load opened up. The one on the right, number 5 starting with the clear ones. Likely...

This just got fun. Maybe it's just because I walked into this thinking I had 'er all figured out with a little reloading experience under my belt, but putting all these together had a...
Thanks for the clarity Longbow.
Hogtamer, I am not looking to use more data. I already have the load I am going to start with, I am just trying to understand how the data is being used. There is a...
Ok, I figured this was the case with these two hulls, but this was why I waited to get the order so I could use actual data off the hop. Just to limit my confusion, ignorance, and possible mistakes. ...
Perfect. This is pretty well where I was heading. I got some clear hulls so I could see how it is all stacking up as I get going. They were only available primed so I will be using Cheddite primers....
First off, I just want to say this site is great. The community effort to help and share is amazing. A couple members reached out to me and offered to send me manuals based on previous posts. It's...
I completely agree Bob. That's why I'm asking. I'd like to buy a bunch of one type and stick with it. I was recommended Fiocchi or Cheddite for availability, but haven't found a reason to pick one...
Thank you, sir. That one did it for me. I know people are loading the exact components I have, but I just don't know enough to confidently cross over to my hulls.
I have cheddite data for all my...
I appreciate the attempt. I am Canadian. The first link is actually in stock, but express shipping is May 28, and my supplier expects his order immediately. The second link, product isn't available...
Thanks Longbow. I have cut my hulls to inspect and test wad fit. I get confused when I hear use recipes for the same volume hulls. How do I know? I suppose I take some load data and give a load a...
No offense intended, Bob, but if I could find a manual for under $100 I would have it. There is nothing available locally, and I mean local including domestic delivery. As stated I am waiting for a...
I do appreciate the reply, but I have been scouring all this info, plus youtube and other downloadable data. I'm only hesitant because I can't find a shotshell manual for the life of me. I will have...
Hey,
I am new to reloading shotshell. I've just been collecting components so far, which has been slower than expected.
Anyway, I'm not being lazy. I am compiling load data from the net and...
Sorry, I never added a location. I'm in AB. It was Will at Bilozir I was speaking with. I usually order from Henry at Budget Shooter Supply, but he's got so many loyal customers he's getting bought...
Thanks, I am big on the diy side of things so a gasket punch is an interesting prospect.
I contacted the local dealer that had Gun Club listed. He has sold out. He pushed me away form going that...
