[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4071559, member: 5412"] To back up Paul Box and his great information, shotshell reloading is a whole different animal. AA hulls from back in the day will require a different load than the current hulls. Hull designs have changed over the years. As Paul mentioned, follow the recipes closely because the hull has to have the proper crimp. If the wad is wrong, the crimp will be sagging and conversely if the wrong wad/load is used, the crimp could be protruding and not hold. I've been reloading shotshells since the 80's with an RCBS Grand progressive in the 90's, although not lately as it's just as cheap to buy as reload common shotshells for upland and dove. Lead prices are going insane and shot prices follow. Since the OP is willing to cast, you have to have copper jacketed pellets or high antimony in the lead or else the 00 pellets will flatten against each other and become tiny plates flying through the air vs a ball. Slugs are different. You want them soft to conform to the choke. Do your research and find the correct loads. [/QUOTE]
