Wayne, years ago I had about 200 brass shells for Cowboy Action Shooting and never had any luck loading nitro powders. Always got bloopers, so I sold all of them. I loaded them pretty much the same as you described other than using Circle fly wads that weren't lubed. I used 10ga wads in the 12ga brass for a good tight fit. I've read on other forums of guys having success loading nitro in brass shells and can't figure out why I didn't have any success. I have a couple of original brass shells in 10 and 12ga. Guess I'm going to have to try again. Those Track of the Wolf brass shells marked Parker are quite expensive. I believe they are machined. You can buy Magtech brass shells for about a buck each. Too bad they don't make them for the 10ga. Looks like you had a nice hunt and I'm glad to hear someone else is having success loading nitro in brass shells.
