I load Cheddite hulls the same way I load the green Remington hulls. That said, I’ve only ever tested the Remington hulls, so caveat emptor.
If using Bluedot, bump up your payload a bit to 1 3/8 oz. Here is my Bluedot load: http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23363 Lead or bismuth. Makes little to no difference. (I’ve done the testing to prove.) -Victor |

I trimmed a few of them down today to 2 7/8, a wood dowel and a mini tube cutter seems to work pretty good not the quickest method of course but it works. I actually had a wood dowel laying around that is diameter of the inside of the 8 gauge cases so works pretty good on them too.

Looking good Milton, I have been meaning to load up some myself. I have been wanting to load some with Red Dot and a fiber wad to try in one of my 2 5/8" 10ga Lifters.

I took some measurements off my fired RST 2 5/8s shells, they only use .16-.17" of hull to form the roll crimp but the ideal number I see listed alot is 1/4" for a good roll crimp not sure exactly what difference it makes ? |

I do use nitro cards, but I have taken some fiber wad RST 20 gauge shells apart and there are just 2 fiber wads and no nitro card.
On the roll crimp, I think you will know what feels right, a lot of that is trial and error. I like to have some room for the roll crimp so to speak, but not so much that it seems excessive and I moving a lot of material on the hull... |
