    Brass shotgun hulls in stock

    Ballistic Products, Inc, has brass shotgun hulls in stock in all gauges. Cheddite primers also. And, if ya don’t load your own 00 buckshot, if you buy ten boxes, or more, only$8.89 per box of 25! Just a heads up, guys.

    Be safe, have fun.
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    Having only ever reloading regular hulls how does one go about loading these? Overshot card with a drop of hot clue?

    Just read a few articles … cool stuff, seems folks have used wax, super glue, epoxy, etc to hold a few overshot cards on top. I really may have to consider this as an option. After getting rid of the 45-70, I’m missing that large brass feel (44 mag is now max size I’m reloading)

    I load Magtech 410 brass hulls with an overshot card and hot glue. Remember, the i.d. islarger than regular hulls so BP sells the appropriate size.

    Why would you buy brass shotgun hulls and Cheddite primers? Brass shotgun hulls are designed to use large pistol primers, not shotgun primers.

    Please enlighten me, I have only used shotgun primers when reloading shotgun hulls. Looks like there is more I have to learn.

    MagTech 20ga 2-1/2 empty brass shotshells for reloading

    Item Number: 3922065
    Review Average:
    Number of Reviews: 1
    View Reviews | Review this item
    $38.99

    I thought a buck a piece for these were bad, looks like the prices have gone up. Over 1.55 EA.

    Too rich for my blood.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    The brass shells are designed for black powder only....

    What does the first line in this ad say? Allow me to copy it for you..
    "Magtech brass hulls are designed for traditional black powder loads. Please note that the primer pocket accommodates a large pistol primer."
    Everyone familiar with these shells knows they are designed for black powder loads. We also know that folks do load them with smokeless.
    This doesn't make it a safe practice. Especially for a beginning loader. We all also know it's not a good idea to use load data taken from some guy you read about on an internet forum. The best advice for beginning loaders is to stick to factory tested and published load data. I'm quite sure you will find no tested factory data for smokeless powder in Magtech hulls.
    Do what you want Shawlerbrook, but I hope poster Dave W, doesn't follow you for other great reloading advice.

    405, I wasn’t recommending shotgun primers for the brass hulls BPI sells, just stating a fact about availability of shotgun primers. Always follow recommended loading recipes. Especially with brass hulls. Sorry for the confusion about the post.

    Have fun, be safe.

    Sadly, they don't seem to have 10-gauge hulls though...
