Thanks for some good ideas. Especially, I like the idea of breaking a factory load to check the wad configuration.

Thanks for this info..And to keep powder from migrating up around the gas seal , I put a 1" square of newspaper under the wad , pressing it into the gas seal cup then inserting the oe piece wad..Just an FYI , it works for me.. And I thought your Hull Trimming video was fabulous info!..All the best!

After over 50 years of metallic cartridge reloading I am thinking about getting into shotshell reloading. Although the concepts and basic procedures remain the same, component selection appears to be even more critical insofar as safe selection goes. Being diligent and being safe has been very beneficial in regards to safety and accuracy for all of these years. I don`t want to p*ss into the wind at this point. LOL Thank you sir for taking the time and effort to offer your knowledge and insight into this fabulous hobby. Although this is the first of your videos that I was fortunate enough to find, I`ll definitely look into some of your other videos in hops of having some more of your wisdom and knowledge rub off on me!

You're very welcome! You are 100% right about safety. If you've done well with rifle, I don't think shotgun will be much different for you. Your instinct is right, complacency has no place in a reloading room :) Get a book, measure twice and stay focused :) Don't hesitate if you have questions, I may not have all the answers, but I can help search and do some diggings for you.

Thanks for the video. I like organization and being neat at the reloading table and using glass to store items looks good but not when you drop them or accidently break them. I switch all of my stuff to plastic containers.

Oh lord, reloading is probably the only area in my life where 😂you will see me organized. Indeed I hold these mason jar like holy grail, I'm on a thick carpet(for sound purpose), and fishing for fallen shots is not fun :)

love these videos, glad to hear your taking my turkey load idea and making a video! Very excited to see the results!

hahahah oh brother, you sent me down the rabbit hole, I'll come out a wiser man! :) and I thank you for that! Stay tuned! it's a long process, next week-end I'm going to shoot some for patterns & velocities.

@@WildBushGrit buddy I’m stuck on turkey loads I wish we could get that old federal flitecontrol wadding those old wadding’s with 2oz inside of a 3” shell is lights out. Everyone wanted to shoot them in chokes with rings and ports, but the old conventional slick inside chokes shot them the best and let that wadding do it’s job. We need to get someone on the phone and start cranking those out. Think someone has that patten right now.

5:15 The over powder cup will never touch thebase wad. Once you drop the powder into the hull its over powder cup portion of the wad should lightly compress against the powder charge. A little bit of powder migration is not a problem.

@WildBushGrit 2 ай бұрын

I agree, its confusing the way I said it. I meant the powder should be sealed between the wad and the base, but didn't meant to say that the wad and the base needed to contact for a seal.

Tom Roster states Cheddite primers can be substituted for all primers except 209A.

Merci de partager ton expérience. "Darwin Award" 😂 je l'aime bien celle la. Ce n'est pas "newfie proof" et faut faire attention. Merci!

Super intéressant. Je m'attendait à une blague pour avril :p. Comment tu fait pour tester les différentes Wad sans acheter un sac de 500 a chaque fois ? Very interesting. I was expecting a joke for April :p. How do you test the different Wads without buying a 500 bag each time?

@WildBushGrit Жыл бұрын

lol, yeah no I ran out of juice for the 1st of April, maybe next year :) For the wads... I have close to 6000 wads under my desk, accumulated over the years. lots of trial and errors, not practical. Keeping a good variety of hulls will help you come up with cool loads. Sometime manufacturer also display a lot of info to help you make an inform substitution, like BPI here, www.ballisticproducts.com/Sporting-wads-all-gauges/products/635/

@krod2162 6 ай бұрын

I don't see a problem in doing substitutions. What you want to do is pick the Lowest pressure load than any substitutions are not gonna cause hardly any problem.

@WildBushGrit 6 ай бұрын

If you don't consider hull construction, you will likely get powder migration and poor performance.

@krod2162 6 ай бұрын

Yeah you're absolutely correct when I do substitutions I make sure everything does match up

@@WildBushGritA little powder migration has never been a problem. Claybuster now makes a Winchester style green wad that are made for straight wall hulls.😢

@@jungleno. Of course, a little is not an issue, but if the wad is all loose in the hull, it wont be good. Why the sad face :) ?
