Hodgdon High Gun powder

How are you loading 2.5" shells? Are you doing them on a press set up for 2.75" and placing something under the shell on the crimping stages?

Well I went and bought the rest today so now I have 9lbs high gun and 8lbs perfect pattern. Dealer was happy, happy. Says he usually doesn't stock shotgun components as they don't sell well. He was quite happy to get rid of it all in one shot.

I'll try these tomorrow.

Awesome isn't exactly the word I'd use. Fortunately I have easily over 30 bags of shot. I'm good to go.

That's 12,000 one ounce loads, How long will the 30 bags last you? When I was shooting ATA trap I knew people who shot that many or more in one years time between singles, handicap and doubles.

Well, I might shoot once a week for about 8-9 months per year. When I go to the Southern I'll shoot over 1000 targets. At Ernie's I might shoot 500-700. I have over 50 cases of reloads and probably about that many in factory shells. Most of the shells I use are 7/8 oz 12g, 7/8 oz 16g and 7/8 oz 20g.

Well I used the statement "That's just awesome" in a tongue in cheek type of way meaning "WTF is wrong with this world..."

30 bags?? You're slacking fella, I have more than that in 8 shot alone : )
