8ga arived today

[Daryl Middlebrook]

I use two part epoxy glue. It is available at any hardware store. You need to swedge the industrial hulls. Pliers will not work. I built my own swedge tooling using a metal lathe and some scrap tool steel.-------Daryl

Wayne, I have 3 original 8 ga. shells and they all mic 0.922-0.926 at the base. I have the John millar setup to swage the base of the industrial hulls to about 0.917. I'd be willing to sell some of my shells for $1.25 for the remington, or $1 each for win. I agree with Daryl, an overshot wad works fine for light loads

[Bill Murphy]

Charles Brooks, where do I get one of those John Millar swages?

[Eldon Goddard]

John Millar, assuming he is the same John Millar that built a Jones under lever 4-bore, is a great guy. When I was younger I read his article about building the 4 bore so I wrote him a letter asking him about it and he wrote me back answering all of my questions, which with my knowledge at the time were probably pretty obvious questions, along with giving me a lot of good information on bore rifles and building them.

[Bill Murphy]

Eldon, thanks for giving me information about the Millar swage.

[Eldon Goddard]

My apologies, Mr. Murphy I know he made reloading tools for large bores and I believe I still have his business card. If I find it I will pm you the information.
