Aaron, I reload the Federal hulls, I also would recommend just buying a adjustable reloading bar for your 10 ga press, you will also need a digital scale 50 60 bucks, to confirm your loads. this combination will allow you to load lead bismuth or nice shot. I started by just reloading trap crow loads , which needs SP 10 wad and star crimp. I would order a roll crimp tool and you can just use a cordless drill in low and hold them with fingers. Hull trimmer you can make, recommend over the one for sale, 10" of 3/4 wood dowel a exacto blade and a wood screw.

At this point, I have only started to load the 10 gauge myself but found that I could do it pretty easily on my trusty Mec 600. I used the 10 gauge sizing ring screwed onto my 12 gauge sleeve and theysized just great. I poured a measured charge using my Belding & Mull measure, put in the SP10 Remington wad and a couple of spacer wads and then the shot (1-1/4 oz.) I bought a roll crimper from Precision that was steel and turns right handed in my little drill press. I held the case by hand and got an amazing roll crimp.

Hi Cal, got to love those short tens, looks like you have got it going with the roll crimps. What do you use your ten for there in sunny Calf.
I posted a picture of a home made shell trimmer behind your last post if you should need one. Bob |

Thanks for the post on the trimmer. A picture is worth 1000 words. I use the 10 gauge mostly to amuse myself here in not-so-sunny-lately California. I'm hoping to move to Idaho in a year or so and do some hunting again. |

Nice picture of the shell cutter. Picture this as a low tech alternative. Clamp a sharp kitchen knife in a vise, blade edge up. Place your shell over the end of a close fitting aluminum or hardwood dowel. Roll the shell over the blade like a rolling pin. Slide the cut off section of shell up the dowel and insert another shell. It is real fast and real easy. The time saving is in cutting directly around the shell rather than a spiral cut which many methods require.

Hi Jent,
Do you use a PW 1000 progressive press? If so would you recommend one of those $970 rigs to a poor shooter like me... Mark |

Jent uses a Model 375 PW. The 375 is the best ten gauge loader anyone can have.
