Thank you. Best regards Barry👍😀

Good evening Tim. Eventually we will do the 20 gauge. We started with the 410 due to it being a ladies and beginners shotgun, plus the popularity of the 410/45 revolvers for self defense. Had to start somewhere. LOL. But we will eventually get the 20 gauge out there, hopefully sometime in 2019. Also. We will be doing updated videos. we have now updated the 410 ga. kits to be like the 12 ga. kits. The Hornady Crimp Starter will be a standard component to help our shooters make the best crimps possible. And, the price will not be going up on the new updated kits. Those that already have our 410 ga. kits, and might want to upgrade it with the Hornady Crimp Starter, can get one on our website. Hopefully the new videos will be online in a month or so. We are in the process of relocating from the state of Washington to the state of Arizona. Feel free to give input anytime, it is appreciated and we do listen. Barry

@@barrydeclined2547 Good morning, I love shooting my old H&R break action single barrel shotguns and I just purchased a Lee Load All II for 12 ga (and the conversion kit for 20 ga) and I'm excited to start learning how to reload my own shotshells for rabbit, squirrel and other small game. Single shot break action 12 ga is probably the most versatile shotgun ever made, and simple in their construction. There are plenty of people, me included, looking for vintage Lee Hand Loaders but with the current prices of $75-150 it's just way to high. I am so happy that I found thexringusa. I would love to see sets of 12, 20 and 410 shells. I am also very excited about the products at (Short Lane) Gun Adapters.com which I have a few :) Your company and gun adapters.com should join forces to make some awesome packages. Good luck with the 20 ga kit project.

I am thinking on my doing one on my way to make pretty accurate 410 slug shells. Gotta give it more thought before I commit. I will be sure to let you know when I post. I have a couple of dual posts with different titles on. This is to generate more people learning the techniques.

Glad to help....here is the information.... Best regards Barry.............................. Hole punch size for “Over-shot” wads The punches are actually Leather Craft hole punches. You can find them as singles or in sets. Below is the information on the sizes and where they can be bought. I suggest just buying them as singles, unless you want to have a compete set, The metric are not expensive since they are imported. I found my single punches on ETSY. They were about $4 to $5 each. I tried many different sizes before finding just the right fit. In my opinion, the sizes listed seem to work best. The best are made by C.S. Osborne. Made in the USA Metric::: Imported and can be found on ETSY. But also they are available on Ebay, Amazon, or large selection from Tandy Leather. Normally they are available, either as a single punch or in sets. 410 ga. = 13/32 US size is best or a second best 10.5 mm 20 ga. = 11/16 US size is best or a second best 17.5 mm 12 ga. = 3/4 US size is best or a second 19 mm

Hello Antar; I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, you can make your own wads as seen in the video instead of the "cup style" wads. BUT There are some things to consider. There are "Over the Powder" wads and "Over the shot-load" wads. The "Over the Powder" wads need to be non-flammable for obvious reasons. Back in the old days before Cup wads, they used flame retardant materials such Cork or Felt. Plus they were fairly thick. This was to make sure there was a tight gas seal. and to take up room inside the case so that the shot-load didn't rattle around. The "Over the shot-load" wads add to the padding against the shot load and also take up any extra space. If you are not using a Cup style wad and are using Lead-shot, you may have to clean your barrel more frequently. The lead shot will touch the barrel as it travels down the bore. BUT, if you are using Steel Shot. I strongly suggest you use the Cup style wads to avoid damage to the barrel. I hope this information helps. I appreciate you commenting. Others reads these posts and may also have information that can help. Best regards. Barry-sales

@@barrydeclined2547 I appreciate the detailed explanation .. I think I'll make some wads from felt or cork since .410 ga plastic cups are rare where I live .. Thanks again

You are welcome. Feel free to add comments anytime. We respect feedback. Best regards. Barry

Good morning John: Yes to the 20 ga. the 20 ga. is in the works. we are doing prototypes. as for time frame? we project it will be available near the end of this year. as of now, we are trying to keep up with the demand for the 410 and 12 ga. kits. when a new product (20ga.) becomes available, our subscribers will get notified first and receive the first discount pricing. best regards Barry

Hello Nicolas. The punches can be found on ebay or at craft stores such as Tandy Learher. I bought a set on ebay for a fairly low price. A set is nice as they are very useful for many other projects. They are not expensive. To get a nice snug fit that is not overly tight, I use the following sizes: 410 ga. = 13/32 12 ga. = 3/4 Hope this helps. Feel free to write anytime. Best regards. Barry

That’s the beauty of the Survival Loader. You get to pick what you want to load/wads. There are a lot of environmental safe materials that can be substituted. Thanks for the comment. It is appreciated. Best regards Barry

Hello Chris... sorry for taking so long to reply.. I did some research online and found there are several companies who already sell biodegradable shotgun wads.....As for making your own.... I can only think of the old fashion but reliable Cork, or thick cardboard or Felt materials.... If you use Cardboard, be sure to soak in a flame retardant solution to keep the risk of a fire to a minimum. These materials will naturally degrade over time..... These were used in times past, for shotguns before the advent of new technology.... Sorry I can't be of more help.... Best regards.....Barry

its a 3/4" gasket punch for 12, 5/8" for 20, no other standard punches will work for any other gauge as far as I can tell, no company offers shotgun wad punches for sale in any gauge except the antique ones

If you send us an email. We will put you on the notification list and give you the heads up when we get them. Our regular CNC machine facility closed due to the Virus lockdown. But we have another company out of state machining parts right now. So. It won’t be long.

@@barrydeclined2547 ok I will send an email to thexring, thank u

@@skyb8687 you are most welcome. I will look for it. barry

Hello Tim and thank you for asking that question. First. LEE used to make manual reloaders for shot shells. But they haven’t for many years now. Look on Ebay. Often a 410 LEE manual kit is north of $150. Ours are also different. They actually resize and make a very decent re-crimp. These are designed for the Survival-Prepper situations. They are also smaller than the old LEE kits. And they are top quality that will last. LEE still makes pistol and rifle manual reloaders at a decent price point. But. For a bug-out manual shot shell reloader,,,,we are head and shoulders above any others. I hope this helps explain to some degree your question. Please let me know if I can be of more help. You might take a look at our Google reviews and those on Ebay. Our website also has a lot of information that may be of some help. thexringusa.com Best regards Barry

@@barrydeclined2547 I see Lee is currently out of stock of the #12 loaders, but I can buy them all day long for less than $50. I happen to have one of the really old ones in the all-cardboard box. FYI, it (optionally) resizes, too. I just bought one in .303 British for a family member. Lee still makes and sells quite a variety of different calibers. You might want to reconsider your loader prices.

@@barrydeclined2547 .410 is far simpler to reload than #12 is; it takes nearly nothing to do that job. It's little wonder that Lee isn't trying to sell those any more. Anyone with the slightest bit of hand skills can easily reload them.

The LEE load all is available. It is typically for mounting on a work bench. They are a good deal. I see they are around $69 or so fro Palmeto. However. Form what I can see, the manual-pocket sized are are not available. Please send me the link and I will be more than willing to check them out. If a person doesn’t need a compact, drop in the pocket shotshell reloader. Then the LEE Load-all is the way to go. The comparison is like a large apples to apricots. We are the smaller apricot. Please send the link. Would love to follow up on any new developments. Best regards Barry

@@barrydeclined2547 Na. I'm talking about the "Lee Classic Loader", which used to be called the "Lee Pocket Loader" because you could easily drop the whole thing in the pocket of your field jacket along with the requisite mallet and a little can of powder and another little can of shot and you'd be hunting pheasant all day. You can very nearly tuck the whole loader into a shirt pocket.

The punches are actually Leather Craft hole punches. You can find them as singles or in sets. Below is the information on sizes and where they can be bought. I bought mine on ETSY, but they are also available on Ebay, Amazon and from Tandy Leather. USA made are from C.S. Osborne. Or, the imported ones also do well. But since they are usually metric, they will not be exactly the US decimal size. I have both US decimal and Metric. I cant really tell much different in getting a snug fit. 410 = 13/32 or metric 10.5mm 20ga. = 11/16 or metric 17.5mm 12ga. = 3/4 or metric 19mm Hope this helps. Best regards Barry

@@barrydeclined2547 thanks for the info . Ording one tomorrow

Hello Sky. Our website is thexringusa.com. We are out of the 410. We should have more in stock in about 2to 3 weeks. Best regards Barry

@@barrydeclined2547 thanks,I went to your site yesterday, i need this reloader bad,a 5 pack of 410. Is 10 dollars. If you can find them.one question is how much is it,thank u for your time barry.i am definitely buying one when your CNC is back up and running. God bless yall

@@skyb8687 Hello Sky. The 410 Survival Loader Kit is $64.95 with USA free shipping. The Powder-Shot Vials (16 per order) at $9.95 with USA free shipping. When the 410 Survival Loader Kits are in our hands, we will let everyone who is on our notification list know so they can order. That said, we should be pretty well stocked in this next delivery. Barry

They are basically hole punches used for leather craft. You can get them on Amazon or on Ebay. They are not expensive. The 410 size is 13/32" The 12 ga size is 3/4" Hope this helps. Best regards. Barry

I tend to think you're right!

Plus. The corporate pricing reset. Price will stay high. They used COVID excuse to cut their work force. Save on payroll and benefits. Raised the price. Make less product, but at 4 & 5 times the amounts. In the end. They actually make a lot more money. Just plain greed.

Hello Mike: The hole punches that I found make the best friction fit are as follows: 410 = 13/32" 20 ga = 17mm is best. Or 11/16" 12ga = 3/4" I bought a set on Ebay a few years back. I use them frequently to make my "over-shot" wads. I like to use different color over-shot wads along with the Hybrid crimp method. That way I can instantly see what the shell is loaded with. I use red for Buck. white for 7 shot and I use other colors for the various other loads. Some reloaders do not like using over-shot wads, but I personally like them. It gives the crimp something to compress into. I get really decent crimps that way, Anyway, please feel free to write if I can be of help. I will help out the best that I can. Please feel free to comment. Our fellow shooters like to read tips and helpful hints from others, best regards barry

@@barrydeclined2547 everything stops with "as follows" ????

for some reason the channel wouldn't let me finish. So, I re-wrote and it took. You should have a complete by now. Barry

@@barrydeclined2547 thanks so much I appreciate your quick response, very helpful for sure 🙏 No info on the 28 ?

@@barrydeclined2547 awesome then i will order the 410 asap

Hello and hopefully this will answer your inquiry. 20 ga. = 11/16 is best or a second best 17.5 mm I use a leather punch made in the USA by C.S. Osborne. Bought it on ETSY for about $6. Hope this helps. Best regards. Barry

Thanks a good idea. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. The Wad making process is the same for any material you choose. Thank you again for commenting. 🖖

I use the primer boxes, wad boxes, cigarette packs, boxes from zip lock bags and so on. That type of card stock works great. Being broke most the time I've even started reclaiming plastic wad cups that are in good shape. Been reloading metallic cartridges for years and fairly new to shotshell loading, but I've been a brass gremlin and broke for a long time! 😂😂

It should still be the same. Next month we are updating videos. But nothing has changed. Can you please tell me what are the issues/problems so we can fix or address them. Your input would be very helpful. Best regards….Barry

My phone shows the latest videos were 2 or 3 years ago. Maybe it's just my phone, I don't know.

Yes. They are a couple of years old. That is going to be corrected at the end of April. New videos and new product information videos with demos. Thank you for the feedback…..Barry

The punches are actually Leather Craft hole punches. You can find them as singles or in sets. Below is the information on the sizes and where they can be bought. I suggest just buying them as singles, unless you want to have a compete set, The metric are not expensive since they are imported. Single punches are best found on ETSY. They are about $2 to $4 each. I tried many different sizes before finding just the right fit for each gage. Hope this information helps. Best regards. Barry

Good morning Jonathan and thank you for posting a comment. The video is just information to help other shooters. We do not sell Wad kits or supplies. Shooters and re-loaders try to look out for one another. With all the anti-gun stuff; we try to take care of each other since one else will. I hope you found the video information. It’s a nice way to make Wads and save money. Thank you again. Best regards Barry

Who cares as long as it works

They are available on the website. thexringusa.com Best regards
