harry i too use a hot glue gun on hunting loads..the 10 ga 1/8 inch card board wads are really tight in those hulls no trouble with shot falling out..i will try them on paper but it will really do good on the cans..this is a great and simple load if any one likes brass shells and by useing red dot powder no mess to clean up.... those hulls inside were a little dark after being loaded 3 times but still really clean....if i were shooting clays with these brass shells i would not have to glue the top wad in the wad really is tight....charlie

I once read that if the shot goes through both sides of a tin can at 30 yards it will kill a rabbit.

the shot is going thru both sides of the can but it is alumin can...this load seems to be on pare with regular light loaded factory shells...first time i ever heard about the can if shot thru both sides it would kill a rabbit...got to get me some tin cans....its raining here now or i would shoot at 40 yards and see how these loads pattern..one thing i know they go with a loud bang and no mess to clean up...charlie

If you are getting a hole in your pattern you might want to try a thin OS wad - .028. I once tried the thick ones and got a nice donut for a pattern. I read somewhere in the past that back in the day a thin OS card was recommended for good patterns. Believe it was a copy of a 1905 Sears catalog. They also said if you blow up a Damascus barrel shotgun it's because it was overloaded or an obstruction in the barrel, not because it's Damascus. Kind of neat reading that.

will be a coupla days before i get to pattern the shells got to catch up on my grass cutting...the main reason i am useing the 1/8 inch thick wads is because i dont have to glue the wad..i would glue the wad if i was useing them for hunting plus i would use the thin wads..the red dot powder will defently work in the brass shells.... and burns clean in the brass hull and in the barrel....a squirl at 30 steps would be a dead squirl i believe the load will do good at 40 steps we will know soon...charlie

this evening i got to pattern the brass shells with the thick 1/8 inch 10 ga wadding over the shot...i used a 9 inch paper plate for target stepped off 40 long steps...shot 3 times useing a full choke stevens double barrell b fox...the first shot there was 26 hits in the plate...2 nd shot there was 27 hits in the plate...3 rd shot there was 27 hits in the plate.....the shot was pretty welleven over the plate if the plates had been a dove or a quail they would have been hit good.... i will have to reload the shells again and try the thin wads over the shot and pattern at the same range and targets.....i was well pleased with the results...charlie

That sounds like real nice patterns. If I remember you had more luck with all brass shells than I did. You're gonna make me get out my old original brass shells and load them up and see what I get.
