Ammo question

Phil, I have shot thousands of those 12g shells out of all my 12g guns whether Damascus or fluid steel. The 1 oz 1180 FPS do a very good job on clays. I also reload some Fiocchi hulls and they load nicely.

Mike someone told me to reload them only one time. Your thoughts? I have never kept them but probably should have.

I will reload hulls until they start to develop splits/cracks at the crimp.

Spoken like a true reloader.

I've shot a boatload of the Fiocchi 7/8oz trainer loads 20 years or so ago. They were called that and I think they dropped that name but they got me on to shooting lighter loads in the 12ga. They were 7/8oz at 1200fps and quite pleasant to shoot. They were also $34 per flat. Ahh, the good old days.

I thought I heard something about the basewad separating, but I could be, and am usually..... wrong.

I've seen them separate in Winchester and RST hulls, but never Fiocchi.
