Maybe I need to change my forum handle to “Nervous Nelly” but here goes.
I picked up two boxes of CBC brass 12ga hulls and over time acquired the RCBS Cowboy 12ga die, 11ga Nitro wads, 11ga fiber wads, 11ga over shot cards and 10ga over shot cards. AND VanDenburg’s book “Reloading Brass Shotshells”.
Now that I’ve got my stuff together I’ve assembled two shells with
CCI Large Pistol primer
75gr Shutzen FFg powder
Nitro over powder wad
Two 1/2” 11ga fiber wads, one with Bore Butter rubbed all over it
11ga card over the fiber wad
Then I put the shell in my MEC shotgun press and seated the wads with 80# of pressure.
Then dropped 1 1/8 oz of #8 shot, seated a 10ga over shot card and sealed it with nail polish.
Two fiber wads puts the shot neatly at the end of the case and according to VanDenburg’s book is OK to do.
Does this all sound legit for those of you who have loaded brass shells?
