High brass is raccomended for loads over 10,900 psi. With reused low brass, in a hot load, the plastic hull can separate and get stuck in the barrel.

Hello, here in italy we used the lee 7/8 and 1 oz slug successfully on hog hunts with nobel sport GT wads. Great fit and good accuracy. the height of the wad depends from the density of the powder...
It trims, but it does not skive. So with small shot you get a hole in the center of the star and pellets may get out. There is another tool to skive.
The shells shown by blood trail showed imperfections because he crimped too deep. You can see the crimp in the roll. Adjust the machine to a less deep crimp.

Ciao Petander, you might think of using Nobel Sport GT wads. Depending on the powder you use, either the 24 or the 27 (I use the 27, works great on hogs with that slug)
