Default Reloading and Velocity

Here is one for all the reloaders here. A "gentleman" at my club last week told me that he read an article from and "expert" that stated that each time you reload a hull you lose 20% of the velocity of that load. So I then asked him, so if I load the same hull 5 times then when I pull the trigger then the gun doesn't go bang? He said it has nothing to do with the firing of the shell. So I asked now then when I fire this shell that I reloaded 5 times then the shot load just falls out the end of the barrel? He said no but it will probably only go about ten yards. I then said to him, well then it seems that the shells that I have been shooting today with you shouldn't have been broken any of the clays that I shot at and broke? Apparently he did not have an answer for that one.

Here's a note I posted a few months ago

Tom Armbrust ran test on the effect on velocity from hulls which were new, once fired, up to about 10 reloading. Lowest velocity was the new hull. He theorized that the fired hulls were scuffed up from the firing, and created higher pressures/velocity from the reloads

Now that makes sense John.

I loaded up some of the 8 ga Remington hulls to at least 10 or more and all of them went bang with authority....charlie

Ask your friend to produce the article. I don't believe anyone would write such drivel.

Dan - I think Paul was talking about the original post. IMHO, Armbrust doesn't write drivel

I run into these "experts" all the time. I don't even bother telling them they are wrong anymore because they wouldn't believe it. I do have one firend that I shoot clays with maybe once a month who actually believes that straight walled hulls like the Federals or Cheddites handle 7 1/2's better than a CF hull which do better with 8's. I just shake my head.
