I just printed up a few of these targets and try my load across a chronograph at the same time.

I went out today and tried 40 yards and 50 yards with my same RST hulls using 692 grains of BPI #6’s and 100 grains of Fg. The only difference was I roll crimped them this time VS just gluing in an over shot card.
I had 12 hits in my turkey head target at 40 yards and only 5 hits at 50 yards. I then tried the same load but in a federal hull. I had 13 hits at 40 yards. I put a pop can behind my 50 yard target. Thd #6 BPI nickel plated pellets passed through the cardboard box my target was stapled to and then completely through the pop can I placed in the box to test for penetration. I don’t plan on taking a 50 a yard shot but if for some reason my bird hands up at 40 yards I won’t hesitate to shoot it. I can tell you if that was a real bird at 50 yards today it would have been dead as a door nail IMO. One pellet to the brain and one in the neck vertebrae. Same with the RST hull 40 yard shot. I guess I just get lucky a lot with a pellet to the brain. My first target i shot with a roll crimp RST hull at 40 yards... ![]() My second shot with the same load at 50 yards... ![]() And here was my last test at 40 yards with the same load but with a federal hull... ![]() I must have had a “hot” pellet or piece of powder melt part of one of my RST cases. Here is picture of the fired hulls after I slid them onto my dowel and heated the crimps with a heat gun to straighten them out... ![]() ![]() When I inspected it the hole did not burn all the way through but I took the shell out of service just to be safe. The other two cases look great yet. I might order some brass case in the near future. So in the future if I didn’t burn a hole completely through a case I would assume I can still load it again? |

Try using paper hulls and a fold crimp. I load 95% of my BP shells in paper and don't use plastic wads.

Never knew 10 gauge paper shells still existed. Where can I buy them? I plan on buying some 10 gauge brass shells in the near future.

Someone was selling a kit you could make your own 10 gauge paper hulls . You remove the plastic part of the hull and replace it with a paper 10 gauge tube . Not sure how well that actually works . I've been thinking of ordering some Rcc 10 gauge brass but you have to order 50 cases at a time ,which is more than I need or want to spend haha.
