I got to tell you when I first saw you I thought now who is this guy. You hit the loading scene right on the nail of the head , without super expensive equipment etc. you make some beautiful loads that pattern well. Thankyou for your great videos.

Made some of of these rounds up with 23 grains of Longshot for turkey hunting. At 30yards over 40 pellets in head and neck

I really appreciate the 12 gauge 2-3/4" Turkey load data. It's nearly impossible to find factory ammo for Turkey in 2-3/4". There are a ton of 12 gauge shotguns chambered for 2-3/4" that I hate to see made obsolete based on a lack of available ammo. Thanks so much!

That’s the only shotshell I knew of growing up. A sheltered life and if wanted shells for chasing bunnies and birds, I had to head back to Grandpa’s mec and make ‘em. Sure wish I had all those buckets of hulls back! ps: Still using that mec.🤔 1972…Sheit I got old! Thank God the Red dot smells the same! ❤😂

I got the 12ga Lee Crimp Finisher, but I don't own a Lee press in 12ga, only 20ga. It won't fit on my MEC 12ga either. I used my drill press with a 12ga roll crimp tool mounted in it to press the tool onto my crimps, and it worked great. A side benefit you may have noticed is that the tool will close up holes in fold crimps considerably.

Great video man.. thanks for all the info. And I know what happens with unslit wads. They make great home defense loads lol.. hey if anyone gets any turkey's with ya'lls loads post em up.

Thank you for the great information.

I've been loading just under 1.5oz of lead with waa12r and those hulls. I use 25gr of longshot though. I tried 28gr and it kicked like a son of a gun, probably going over 1300 fps.

This is all that shows up on Ebay for that taper crimp: (Lee Load All Cone finish die 12 guage, 20 gauge made in Ukraine) 1-2 months for delivery!

Have you ever thought about trying out a 1 1/8 oz lead load with longshot powder?

I use my 10g for Turkey although out here you could use almost anything , they get close and are kinda dumb, sure are tasty though

do you think i could use a ranger elite or mg-42 wad for the same loading data,keep up the great video coming there amazing

Great video as usual. Im planning to turkey hunt this spring. Still not sure what ammo I'm taking. Have some 2 3/4" Federal Premium 1 5/8 ounce buffered #6 copper plated that I bought over 20 years ago that's high on the list of possibles. Federal doesn't even catalog that load anymore. In fact I think 2 3/4" 1 5/8 ounce has about disappeared from the market.

Do you suppose a guy could use the Remington 1 piece hulls instead? I've heard say they load the same as the AA. Have you ever compared identical loads between the two?

Have you loaded the new-style HS hulls from Winchester? According to Winchester HS and CF data should interchange. I know the wad will probably change. Thank you in advance.

For the AA 1.5 oz load. Will these wads work from Ballistics Products? TPS 12ga 3 (Unwhite Lightning) wad UNslit (100/bag) Item: 3227702US I know they will need quite a bit taken off if they will work. Can't find the TPS 2 3/4" unslit only the slit ones. Or is there a way to make the slit ones work? thanks

The load with the SSW wad, with the green and white hulls, is that a 1 7/8oz load or a 1 1/2oz load? Just want to make sure. I think the load you loaded in the video was loaded to 1 1/2oz. but the info on the SSW load said 1 7/8oz. Thanks

Just what I am looking for, thanks. I will be using a Primos Titewad .66 restriction. Would you suggest the 1.7/8oz load? Also do you have the same load for today's hulls? I have a ton of Federal heavy field loads. thanks again

you have any recommendationson where to start for a TSS 1 1/2oz, 1 5/8oz, or 2oz in a 2 3/4 12ga

Where do you get your load data from?

what scale do you use??

Can you make me up some 20 gauge 3 inch turkey loads lol love the videos
