Mark,
Just a heads up to wiegh the powder charge before you fill the other hopper with shot. I have not found a bushing yet that throws the charge writen in the manuals. It's a lot easier to chanbe bushings without having to deal with the shot. Harry |

Harry, my outfit is not very sophisticated! I found a near-mint Lee hand tool for the 2-7/8" shell and will be using my new Hornady Lock and Load powder dispenser. The Hornady measure is a Godsend for all of my rifle loading. I have dippers for shot, also. Finally, I have a repaired 'roller' that does a swell job on paper and plastic hulls, should I decide to use a rolled crimp. It delivers a nice rounded roll-over. I have discovered with the pre-determined charge rotors for my RCBS Little Dandy that they fall short of their assigned charges of Unique by almost 1/2 grain. I did a lot of averaging and made notes about each rotor. I suppose volume charging is fine with less-than-maximum charges.

Federal shells have a fiber base wad - these are the ones that can come loose and lodge in your barrel. Rem and Win don't have the fiber base wad [ to the best of my knowledge ] . There is no problem with them.
PSB - Precision Reloading's buffer material BP - Ballistic Products buffer material FBS - felt Blue Streak wad NC - nitro card wad MR - Mylat wrapper x10x - over powder wad from Ballistic Products notes on loads #18,68,and 69 - wad combo has a 10ga 1/4" wad and a 12ga 1/4" wad #37 - 16 or 20ga card may be used ILO 24ga wad hope this helps - Paul |

This is only what I do - any of these loads with plastic wads can be used with paper wads and I believe the pressures would be lower and safe. I go up 10% with the powder charge when substituting fiber wads for plastic. Use your own judgment. Paul

DID SHERMAN BELL DO THE SAME FOR 12 GA HEAVY SHOT CHARGE / LOW PRESSURE? |

DID SHERMAN BELL DO THE SAME FOR 12 GA HEAVY SHOT CHARGE / LOW PRESSURE?
I want to load some 1 3/8 oz loads for a 12 gauge that I will also use in a 10 gauge with gaugemates (so I only have to load up one gauge that can be used in both).
But I want a heavier load with low pressure, much as the 1 3/8 oz and 1 1/2 oz loads Bell has for 10 gauge that are in the 8000 psi or less range. Thanks. |

Harry, don't forget the 700X in 7/8oz loads. Don't like 4756 in the winter - punk loads for me. paul
