10 gauge #4 buckshot
 
I'm getting ready to load up some #4 buckshot tomorrow for the 6 frame 10 ga, I also decided to buy an original antique roll crimper as well to try out.

Does anyone have a 1.5oz load using Bluedot ?
Currently I'm using 1 3/8oz. I ordered a new hull trimmer as well to try out I didn't care for one of the Bpi ones I bought before. So I'm justing waiting on the original roll crimper to come in hopefully tomorrow.

The antique roll crimper works pretty well its so compact im just going to keep it on my coffee table haha. I also bought a new hull trimmer, there's probably a million different 3d printed hull trimmers now but I have to say this one works extremely well.

I bought the same trimmer and it works well.

It definitely beats my old method of measuring each shell and using a wood dowel and pipe cutter haha.
Digging through my box of hulls tonight I found a whole bag of new Remington 10 ga hulls I completely forgot I bought probably a year ago.

What is your source of the pictured hull trimmer?

I like how it has a set screw so you can't accidentally over trim your hulls, which I've done with other hull trimmers lol when cutting 3.5" hulls down to 2 7/8s. This seems to be the fastest and easiest way so far.

Likewise I found a bag of 98 Remington hulls I’d ordered and uncut . Sold them to a friend last week along with a 600 JR . So I’m down to a MEC Sizemaster only for 10 gauge . I assume you wanna load #4 buck for coyote ? I went 00000 all the way down to #3 buck for deer and I gotta say I wasn’t overly happy with #3 after killing a couple so I never tried #4 other than on paper .

I used the bandsaw at the shop and an oak jig I’d made for several years , then someone made me a device that uses a box cutter blade that works great on the Cheddarcheese hulls but takes a bit more effort for the Remington hulls . The bandsaw would leave the ends a skoosh frayed where as this box cutter blade device comes out quite smooth .

Yeah pretty much anything around coyote sized, my PH 10 ga is choked xf/xf so I figured I'd stay on the smaller size for buckshot. I could carry the 8 gauge but I've had the 6 frame for a couple years and I need to start hunting with it more. I'll mostly be loading more birdshot, I have some Bismuth T shot as well.
