Anyone here reloading shotgun?
not right now
Neither am I as my press isnt here :D
What hulls were you using?
Tried Fiocchi oneS?
Nah, I picked up a box of primed and shrived winchesters (500) cheap a few years ago,see me out
I just brought a press as the Mrs wants to shoot skeet also and have a good source of cheap sea freigth from the US for lead etc - the numbers now make sense to reload 12g.
I understand that the selction of wads to hull etc is a big thing, along with primers
I'll be using Fiocchi hulls as can get unlimited amount of free ones from the club, but other that that, I'm in the reseach phase
Spanners if you want some hulls and other bits I've got some lying around that I'll never use, for the cost of postage you can have them.
That would be good, what flavour are they?
Been a while since I have done it but I remember Brownies hulls being fickle, they sometimes crushed a bit but worked well enough. You can reload cheaper than you can buy a box of Club 9's?.
There must be somone using Win AA ammo at the club? I used to scrounge all them up.
ADI Guide has some info.Quote:

With the freight connections I have ex US, lead and wads just became a SHITLOAD cheaper.Quote:

AA hulls.. all the old boys keep their prized hulls to themselves. :)
I can get a bunch of once fired AA ones ex US for under $100nz/1000 so may just do that
That'd be the goQuote:

I had an old mech press that got chucked in the offal hole after it had to many bits fall off it.
All good info - thanks
Looks like those Win AA hulls should do the job
How many loadings would you expect out of them - so I can gauge how many to get...
i got my AA of trade me
i use them for slugs
and shooting over paddics
Depends on your press and cases really, but 5-6 untill they split maybe more.Quote:
