Reloading Winchester AA HS short ones 28 ga

James L. Martin · 08-17-2021, 11:03 AM

I have been cutting wad petals on different loads in 12,16,20 & 28 for years with no problem. Mostly on 2 1/2 " shells.

Pat, what was your problem with these shells? Was it that the shot overflowed if you used your normal recipe? That is the problem I am having. Is it all HS that have a lesser capacity? Are the hulls with the "line under the AA" HS shells or pre HS shells? Thanks for helping.

The Winchester 28 ga HS
Shells without the line are
The older ones, i had a friend that reloaded them for me and yes he had adjustment trouble all the time to get them to close properly with normal loads. He quit doing that for me and I started, it was not worth the time fooling with the short ones
Now i reload only HS with the line under HS. IF SOME SHORT ONES GET MIXED IN I CUT THE PEDALS.
