My question is can you load while on the crapper ?…… For trap singles ( 16 ) yds try 1oz of #8 or #81/2 at 1250 fps , been making money with that load for quite a few years . I also use 1oz with a 7/8 oz wad sometimes at 1320 fps ! Give them a try ………..
My used press i bought a few months ago is very similar, the only difference mine came with a universal charge bar and did not include the original which is fine with me. I also borrowed a 20 gauge press and inserted the universal bar in there. I believe i like it better than changing the collets. With powder in short supply, following just one recipe is not realistic. I probably have 5 different powders, just whatever I've been able to pickup on store shelves. Same with wads!! I did score on wads and shot in Shelby Ohio, but after also buying a new shotgun i stopped at 175 pounds of shot, and 4,000 wads i should of bought more primers!!
I am brand new to reloading. I was wondering, when using once fired 2 3/4 hulls that were shot loads, can I reload those shot loads as slug? Also, I am wondering what you put the reloaded shells in if you no longer have the original cardboard boxes? Thank you
I have only ever loaded shot so I’m not sure if you could load slugs into the same hull. If I remember correctly most slug loads have a different crimp so it would be hard I would think. I shoot a lot so I always have boxes to put my reloads in.
Comments for reloading algorithm. 👍 Finding powder & primers locally are my issue to get into it. That and life. Haha The auto primer drop linkage can be disconnected, correct?
Yes finding supplies is still hard but we have a local supplier about an hour from me that has always had most of the stuff we have needed to reload. Yes, you can disconnect the primer tray so that it has to be manually operated!
The MEC jr. that I have takes bushings. If you know the load data you would like to use there are bushing charts to tell you what bushing to use with that powder for the correct grains. I have used a scale and weighed my powder as well before but with this system it’s not necessary.
@@LivingLooney Great video and you have a nice set-up but....I have to respectfully disagree with your comment above on bushings/charts and powder scales. Scales are indeed a very necessary part of a reloader's kit. For safety, it is always best to verify the charge weight that a particular bushing throws. Remember, bushings measure by volume, not by weight. Powder density can vary, even the same powder, from lot to lot. Bushings can be marked incorrectly or drilled wrong. You can easily read the bushing chart wrong. The same holds true for shot charges. A bar that throws an ounce of #9 will throw a somewhat lighter charge of #71/2. Electronic scales are easy to use, accurate and reasonably priced so no reloader should be without one, in my opinion. Remeber, ammunition develops thousands of pounds of pressure every time you pull the trigger only inches from your nose. Not trying to scare anyone, but you must respect this aspect of reloading.
The old box tv cabinet is an cool work station.
Thanks, it works out good!
I'm definitely going to purchase one.
Reloading in the bathroom is convenient, only thing I would add is a mini fridge and I'd be set for days...
Hi, Sir💕💕💕💕
Put a light inside for yourself and

Midway supplies has Winchester primers
dont you need to have a scale to weigh your powder or did i miss something? sorry total newb here that wants to get into reloading
