do any of you fellas reloading 8 ga remington one fired hulls have trouble trying to put the plastic wad in the hull have problems pushing it in the hull...this evening i was loading up some remington hulls once fired well they were just about impossible to get that plastin wadding in the hull well i decided it would take to long to load up a box of these hulls....i then came upon a idea that made loading them much easyer..i took my knife and cut a slit in the mouth of the hull right in the center of the hull mouth about 1/4 of and inch long..makes loading the wad a lot better...the hull still roll crimps just fine..if these were hunting loads i would seal the end of the shell with hot wax or a hot glue gun this would make them water proof then....but just for target shoot will be fine as they are..charlie

It's been a while since I broke out the eight gauge loading equipment, but I think I made a wad seater out of a piece of copper pipe, ran it through a grinder to taper the end to fit in the mouth. Start with a piece of pipe that is big enough inside to accept the wad.

Going from memory so it may not be correct.
I think Dixie Gun works years ago suggested water In the case, supported over a block that's relieved under the primer. Tight fitting dowel in its mouth then whack it with a hammer. Think I would try it with a common 12 G first . Hydraulic pressure is powerful may work. William |

It will take days to dry out the base wad once it gets wet.
