Federal Paper 12 gauge low PSI loads

[Paul Harm]

I use most of my Federal papers for BP. When useing nitro I use fiber wads because one , I have them and don't have to buy different plastic wads. Also use a roll crimp on all my paper hulls - they look better and the end card can be stamped with the shot size in black [ for BP ] or red [ for nitro ]. Although I do keep a few extra with a star crimp in my pocket for those fellows on the shooting line who run out of ammo - those are BP. Don't get alot of request for a shell anymore. With the nitro I use 16.5grs of 700X and 1oz of shot. Paul

This past spring, a friend was cleaning out his garage and decided to give me his Federal paper hulls, they would have filled a 35gal container. Did I mention that they were free

Long story short, my basement flooded this September but I felt they would be OK since they were in plastic garbage bags. I just recently looked at them and they were covered with mold/mildew. Stunk to high heaven. Had to put them all out for the trash man

Hi Paul, I also like the Federal paper hulls for BP. A once fired paper hull case mouths are nice and round and much easier to load the nitro cards and fiber wads than plastic.

This is reason I decided to use Federal paper for spreader loads using a 16 ga Polywad disk. I loaded up the recipe in my first post and shot skeet with them this morning. The gun I used had .040 and .020 thousands restriction. Worked very well.
