reloading 16 ga

[Rick Roemer]

Hi. Brett and thx for sharing your load data. Just clarifying you use a .045 card on top of the powder and another on top of the shot?
Thx

[Brett Trimble]

Rick,

Yes, that’s what I did. I used the card over the powder to keep it in place. It probably isn’t needed, but that was my thinking.

[Rick Roemer]

thank you. I will try these next.

Always like new to me recipes.

What is the entry for "overshot device" and where does that go? On top of the shot?

“Pinto Bean”
Goes on top...Gives a better crimp for 7/8 oz shot.

I shoot standard field loads thru my 20 ga Trojan without any issues.

I love it. I use small pinto beans. That way if I miss I might be planting something.

I had the following issue with the Focci 12 gauge hulls. They are somewhat flimsy compared to AA.
I had a bunch of them that I cut down to 2-1/2 inches and reloaded them.
While I was shooting them the gun (Parker ) would not close completely.
I witched to another gun ( not a Parker) and they worked fine.
Once I got home I check the other shells I had reloaded and found about 1/2 of the had the same issue .
I then tried them in other 12 gauge guns.
What I found out was the metal base seems to have a variance in the manufacture.
So they all worked fine in old hammer guns and they worked in a Blaser and Kreighoff.
I would try them once you have deprimed and resized the case and see if the fit in your gun.
I have discarded the ones I have and will find another hull that works.
