P.S. A guy on ebay has 65lbs of 7 /15 and 8 shot reclaimed for $85.00 free shipping with good reviews. I got one and he has several left

With all the legal problems today I can understand the powder companies not wanting to ok loads that aren't tested. Thanks for the heads up on the shot.

Yes your right about everyone having to be lawyered up these days. I am going to try some of those light loads on the powder manufacturers websites and have them tested first as soon as I get my stuff. Does rolled crimping work well? I dont think Ive ever seen it or how its done. I will check it out on youtube. You maybe right that may be the way to go..Also Cabelas has the sizemaster for $236 . It wont discount it till you put it in the cart....just incase you need one.

Paul I just watched a youtube video of roll crimping with a bpi tool... I looks simple . can you re- reload them after you shoot a roll crimped shell or are they no good after that. wow I think that would be a good way to crimp...thanks for the suggestion.

Morris once told me RST meant Really Smashes Targets but in reality it was the name the company had when he bought it.

It is easy to use

I reload mine but I need to expand the mouth a little to get the wad to load smoothly

my vote was "retro shotgun technology"

If I recall correctly the original owners of RST were from NH, a father and son I believe. I met them once a long time ago shooting skeet. They were both avid sporting clays shooters and did not use vintage shotguns. I have no idea or recall of what RST stood for. Morris can be credited for taking the company in the direction of producing shells for vintage shotguns.

I wonder how 'once fired' shot could produce good results with a significant percentage of the pellets being deformed from that first compression of being fired and the resulting squeeze through trap chokes.... And then the same thing again when it is fired a second time:shock:

I used to go in on a bulk buy with the guys I shoot with on Sat mornings. All modern gun shooters, 7 1/2 shot. When they switched over to reclaimed I backed out. Afraid of steel pellets in the mix. I looked at samples, not very uniform size or shape. Did not find any steel.

You will not see a difference out to thirty yards. There has been plenty of pattern testing on it. It's plenty good enough for skeet and trap singles.
