I waterfowl hunt, and can tell you, I pick every hull I see...keeps the environment clean and provides me with hulls to reload...love the Fed / Rio 3" ones.

Throw those hulls into a tumbler with SS pins! That’s what I do, wade! Magic!

Brother you are the king of the shotshell reloaders. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Mannyca, unless already mentioned, has a whole series on testing hull life. Well worth the watch.

All you can find at BPI most of the time are 3.5”s... I bought their spin and trim and can now make any length I want. Not a bad deal, just an extra step in my process.

As a relatively new shotgun shell reloader, this video helped me a lot. Thank you Wade and Happy New Year brother.

Thanks Brother Wade. I just asked you that question yesterday in an email. You the man!!

My G Papa Always told me before I'd leave downhome ( the Midland's)to come back up here to N.Carolina, CRYING as Usual. "Don't cry Boy, I be seein ya real soon now, Ya hear ? .. Oh Hey Boy ! Save me them hulls from those shell's I give ya, Okay? .. an anoder ting Kill me some'o dose big'ol buck deer's an squirrel's y'all got up yonder in dem hill's an bring me a mess back now ,Ya Hear ?" . an Now I'm crying again. .

Thank you Wade ! I went to the bench this morning after watching your video yesterday and brought back to life a bunch of grungy rusty range brass that I picked up this year ...20 ga Rio buckshot hulls... they now look incredible with a wire wheel and a slow rpm drill - wish I could post pictures ...(from Upstate Communist NY) best, Rob

I've been doing the steel wool trick to a whole bunch of 1980s Remington peters 2 3/4" hulls that I got a whole printer paper box full for the cheap from an older guy that was moving 👍🏼 works great

I sometimes use Never-Dull, that works pretty good as well.

Everyone may not be old enough to remember, back when I was starting one of the reloading companies offered "case spinners " that were more or less tapered mandrels that fit in your hand drill, and you'd push the case mouth over the taper and spin the case and hold a wad of steel wool against the dirty case and it would polish out really quick. The fit with the taper would hold the case firmly and would easily come back off after you were through. I never bought any although I wish I had. I haven't seen them offered anywhere for a long time. Somebody with access to a lathe would be able to turn some out for any sized case. I can't remember if they ever offered any for shotshells , but I don't see why one wouldn't work

I am so thankful for the things you cover on your channel!! I just picked up a few hundred hulls from a friend who's been collecting them from where he shoots. The timing of this video is awesome. Happy New Year and thank you

Thanks to Wade, I am saving all this loading videos you make. Great info and how Too’s, thanks for showing us all the short cuts and great hand loads you have come out with tru your years of hunting and reloading. God bless BRTO crew and families. Happy new year to you all and stay safe. 👍🇺🇸

Excellent video...! In my experience... those burned end roll crimps are the result of over aggressive power roll crimping. When I use a hand crank roll crimper, it doesn't happen. Thanks for the video...

Thank you Wade!! Happy New Year!!

Awesome video!! Very informative!! I don't reload shotgun shells but you had my attention the whole time.

Make a mandrel that will fit snuggly in the hull that will go in the Chuck of your drill motor or press, to buff the brass.

Great Video ... HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 ! ... God Bless You & Yours .

Awesome thanks wade

Thanks Wade! Great information. Have you ever tried soaking the brass in ketchup to loosen up the rust and remove the tarnish?

Happy new year Bubba. Great information again 🙏 In Australia I've been trying to get 3" and any length in clear for over 2 years now. Got thousands of wads, 6 molds, so many powders, buffer, wraps etc but just can't get 3"+ or clear. Love your work brother

Really appreciate you sharing the knowledge!

To trim 12 ga hulls down I use 3/4 pvc pipe cut to the proper length and use a razor blade cutting it flush with the top. The pvc will have to be bored out just a little to compensate for the brass. Happy New Year!!!

Awesome information

I have refurbished Cheditte shells like the one shown at the beginning the video. Get a 1/2” dowel and sand the end to about 1/3”. Insert the dowel and giggle it around until it opens the damaged crimp up as much as possible in order to be able to insert a1/2” socket wrench attached to a socket extension in past the crimp. I then use my heat gun (set at 500º) and rotate the casing around the socket. I find that putting the heat gun handle into my bench vise and turning the hull, softens the crimp and makes it round again within about 15 seconds. My “heatgunless” friend accomplishes the same result by holding the case of his lead melting pot. Not recommended. Wade, go to the hardware store and get a longer bolt for your spin n trim. Set it and no more "eyeballing" the proper length. Bolt is 6mm dia.x1mm pitch.

Very informative video. Thanks Wade for all you do. Happy New Year!

I pray that you and your families new year is a great one. You and I think alike. I do this even when I have no problems getting hulls. I would try and refurbish 209 primers if I could.

Kool shot!! good info. Happy new year and always GOD bless !!!!! 🦃

Excellent tips again, thanks!

could you not tumble those hulls in corn cob or walnut like you would brass shells?

Love your channel!!!

Waste not want not right? Really appreciate all the loading tips. Got inspired and dug into my stash and loaded some once fired 3" roll crimped turkey loads. Used antique roll crimper and they looked great.

For me the final cut on 12ga is 1¾" and for 410 is two inches, three 000 buck is 0.485 ounce by weight

I wonder if a dremel tool will work on polishing those old hulls.

Good video , happy new year 🎆 ,2021

Wade, a bit of furniture wax on the shined up brass will stop it rusting. Ex duck blind hulls need to be 100% dry. Interesting that the brass is coated tin, not real brass. As the roll crimper warms up the edge before rolling, it is likely that the will go again without cutting them down.

Hey bro I love your videos.....do you have one on makeing a 3.5 # 1 buck mag shell.....if not can you make one ?

Happy new years

Great video wade

I know some are making used primers once more can you do it with shot gun primers too!!!

What's happening with reloading supplies in the US guys?

Grate video aging

What all does it take to reload? I meant everything we would need from the shot to the case to the loaded to the powder? What would be the cost to start from scratch? Thanks

Wade, do yoy have a rule of thumb to adding buffer to a non buffer load? Reduce powder? Don't worry about it?

Can you do some more still hunts before the season ends?

Do you have any reload advice for Rio?

Haven't seen a damn primer since october

Question...what reloading data is comparable to Remington Express Hi-Brass?

I think Dremel may have a bit for steel wool.

Mr.Wade, not having any gas seals could one just cut out the leg section? or would that just waste the wad? thanks and God Bless!!

Another great video to learn from. What is the diameter of the Bingo cards you use?

Could you tumble crusty shells like you would metallic?

2 questions. Why the Gaep 2 vs the 3? Could you reload a star crimped 3" hull and roll crimp it for the reload?

I suppose the logical conclusion of this process is you manufacturing your own brand of hulls...

Did you have to reduce the charge weight on the small one do to less volume and pressure concerns?

Hey brother wade, on a 2 3/4 00 buck magnum load are they actually o buck to have room for all twelve pellets? Please reply and god bless.✝️🇺🇸

could you heat the roll crimp on the white hull to make it malleable enough to reload

I decided to start getting all the stuff to reload shotshells about 3 weeks ago. Basically I paid out the nose for most everything I got. I got a lee load all, 5lbs hodgens hs6, federal 209a primers, chwdite 209 too, 0.33 lead buckshot, #4 zink steelshot a lyman 5th edition that is Basically Japanese to me. Claybuster cb8118, cb2118,cb2100,cb3118 remington r12h. I have a good variety of once shot 2.75 and 3" shells. I need Basically anything 1300 fps for my vr80 and vrbp100. What can I make with what I got? Like ya all know all of it is hard to get so I gotta work with what I got? Thanks for any help I can get on here

Where to find powder at online now days?

I haveA lot of empty 12 gauge casings 3 inch and 3 1/2 inch with no one around here to reload them all shot this season if you’d like them I love your videos so I’d like to send them to you please reach out to me

Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
