Craig, I don't know about you, but $44/100 for empty 10ga shells is a lot of money to me to be throwing them away after a couple of reloads. My Remington 10 was 2 3/4" and the Parker 10 was 2 5/8" - had both taken out to 2 7/8" chambers. Now I can load just one size shell, and when they get too shabby they go in a bag to be made into 2 5/8. But that's only after candle wax won't hold the end together anymore. I make em last till the shot starts rolling out the barrels.

Dennis... Have you thought about loading brass shotshells?
I have a L.C. Smith that I load for. Ballistic Products has some Very nice repo Parker brass 10 gauge shells, they also have Over powder cards, wads and overshot cards. I do have a 10 Gauge Lee reloading kit that I use to load them. |

Jim,
Thanks for asking about the brass shells. As a kid I loaded some brass 12 gauge Alcan shells with an old Lee hand loader but I haven't thought of it for this gun. I have a small supply of 10 gauge RST shells and some 3 1/2 inch Federal shells I get from my brother. I will look into the brass shells though when I get around to doing this. Thanks for the information. The brass shells would certainly fit in with my 1884 gun. Dennis |

Of the hulls I have a friend that owns a JW Tolley hammergun gave me about 75 Remington hulls that he said were to far gone for him and I've used them for several loadings of birdshot and buckshot . Only bought 200 new Remington hulls and a bag full of Federal once fired . So you might say I don't throw them away until they come apart LOL's ! I have twentyfive of the old Winchester brass 10 gauge shells . But I've yet to give them a try . Also have 4 or 5 boxes of old factory 2 7/8" shells that have been reloaded by someone else . I might try these in the Ithaca first since it's fluid steel It is my intention to get a Parker 10 at some point . Preferably a hammerless N grade or above .

Jin I looked on balistic products for the brass 10ga hulls to no avail. Did you have to call them or did I just miss something. I would like to buy about a box or two.

I believe "track of the wolf" shells cost around $7.75 per shell. If so, these are made by Rocky Mountain and are turned from solid brass. The Mag Techs are stamped out so they're quite a bit cheaper. But as I've said in the past, I've never found a load for the MT's when using nitro. Maybe someone has and will chime in.
