Good information . I’ve. Been trying to reload Federals with clay buster wads and getting horrible Crimps!

One thing to look for is that Federal has various shell lengths. Federal is one of my favorites'.

Hi, just found your video and it's informative. What number wad are you using on the Fed top gun to get a good crimp? Thank's for your time.

Rim of the brass to base of crimp is irrelevant as different feds have different base wads and thus different internal volumes. There are a couple different domestic plastic base wads along with fiber base wads and about half the feds i pick up are actually rio. Just look at the base wad and separate them that way. I use a lot of the cheddite primer but it's not as hot as a fed and one should note you will have to use different load data with it.

Thank you for saving me the trouble of posting this. He struggles. I was cracking up when he measured to the crimp.

Federal wads are straight walled. Remington hulls are tapered. Basic.

Basic it is not!! There is nothing basic, each shell has it's own peculiarities. I have found differences in same brand and production runs. Thanks for the input.

@@chase3760 I’ve heard bad things about cheddite primers but never tried them. That’s about the only primer I can find now so I’ve been considering them, this gives me hope that they are ok
