Good idea, but ...not going to cause pressure problems with the steel twist barrels?
No,the largest pressure spike will be when the burning powder begins to over come the weight of the shot,if you are worried about the integrity of the barrels,dont use them.




Eh? The hulls will not be used in another gun so basically at the first fire, I will be fire sizing them. So why do you say I will need to , ".... resize your Brass Hulls after firing..."?

Because like brass cartridges they will expand to the chamber and not return to their original size after firing.My experiance of Brass Hulls is that they need to be resized.I have always used the CBC brand,but gave up and just used plastic hulls from the trap range,cut off the star crimp and put a roll crimp on them.


Many Thanks.
