Great video. I have had zero issues with the Cheddite primers. They are sealed well also. I noticed you spin your shells on the final crimp. I do the same thing on my MEC's. Thanks!
I loaded 10 to try, used a depetaled CB-1138-12 wad and federal top gun hulls from BP ($20/500ct), cheddite 209, 27gn longshot (1grain over listed but as Johnnys Reoading Bench says hope I don’t blow my dang face off), no buffer but did use mylar sheets, no bulging but some crimps came undone and had to be recrimped. Will see how these go!
@@theshotgunscientists well I only did 10 of them and I will shoot it 1 at a time in an old 870 that has a barrel easily replaced should shite slide sideways rapidly…..on that note I had been using a conversion table I had gotten from another Tuber regarding the Load All 2 bushings as to how they weighed out predictable charges with Longshot. That said, perhaps before firing I will examine 3” lore deeper to see what 27gns looks like in a 3” hull (pressure wise too) with 1-7/8oz load of buck. I am not beyond disassembly of these mere 10 and starting over either lol.
Nice. I just picked up some of those hulls from the range the other day. I believe I will try that👍 Although lately Ive been feeling some of those stout loads a bit more than I used to.
Well folks, just loaded up my very first buckshot loads. After compiling date from several places i loaded winchester AA compression hulls, claybuster 1138-12 wad, 9 pellets of OO buck, overshot card and a light load of 32 grains of blue dot. Loaded half with buffer and half without to see ghe pattern differance. I loaded they 3x3, unfortunatly i got a small amount of dimpleing on outside of hull but they ma ually cycle in my 1100. Wish me luck.
You need to remove the petals from any wad if you’re using 00 buck in 12 gauge or yeah it’ll dimple the hull out. It’ll work stacked by 2’s but not by 3’s. Sounds like a good load though.
@@theshotgunscientists Thanks much for the response. . Next time i reload these i will cut them off to avoid the dimples if the hulls survive to load again. Havs a good day.
I wonder what would the grain equivalent of HS-6 be for 15 pellts? So fair I tried 12 pellets of 00 buck with ~30 gr HS6 using a FS12 wad, 2x .070 nitro cards and roll crimp. My to-go for 9 pellet 00 is 33 gr, 1 FS-12 wad and either a 0.5 fiber wad or a few nitro cards depending on the shell.
I wish LEE would sponsor you guys and give you all the toys. It would be interesting to see the things you guys come up with. Believe me you are selling lots of lee loadalls for them. As always good video.
Morning Tyler can I use a ssw with the petals ripped off. 27grains of longshot and 15 x 00 buck in a 3 inch shell. I've made a couple up and the stack height is perfect. Or should I drop down to 26 grains?
I think the powder you are referring to is w572. I was going to suggest you try it. I load 1 1/8 and up in 12 guage. It works great in 20 and 28 guage. Like H-S6 & unique also.
@@theshotgunscientists I actually have not seen or heard of anybody having 571 in a long time! Bought 572 in 2020 during the height of supplies being hard to find. 8lbs. Only thing for shotgun, didn't have a clue but bought it anyways. Think powder valley has it in stock right now. Waiting on my first Christmas present to delivered from them today!
@@theshotgunscientistsI could never understand why people get rid of opossums. Sure they eat eggs but don’t seem especially good at getting to them. They’re otherwise beneficial.
