It sure what you’re talking about ArtS- I’m not reloading for an 8ga. I got my hands on a ton of WW 8ga industrial loads and am salvaging the components out of them. I have no use for the hulls and wads/cards but I know guys do so I want to find out what not to do to render them unusable to the 8ga guys. I don’t want/need them but others might so I don’t want to wreck them

save those hulls....a box of 25 industrial shells are not that costly I see them on auction sites from time to time....there worth is being able to use the hulls in a 8 ga shotgun for hunting and such...charlie

When I pull apart industrial loads I just use a flat head screwdriver to unroll the crimp and salvage the hulls since it doesnt damage them. If you cut the crimp off you're probably going to end up with a 2 3/4" 8 gauge hull. |

Milton,
Started out trying to un-roll the crimp but took way too much time- I have thousands to get through. That’s why I started zipping the crimp off but my concern was the length and whether I was rendering them useless to guys that might use them- hence the jumping onto this forum, seems like lots of guys that know about loading for these guns |

I was under the impression, perhaps wrongly so, that the industrial loads were 3 1/4". Wouldn't cutting just the rolled end only shorten them by 3/16" or thereabouts?
A kiln gun is a massive piece of machinery, making me think they might be pretty high pressure. |

FWIW I’m partial to full length 3 1/4” hulls .
