All you that reload should be watching this channel. More stuff to help with reloading than you can learn in a few years. Thanks again to BRO for all the videos you make. God bless the family and crew of the BRO. Stay safe
I just watched this after being sent here from facebook. Answered every one of my questions! I've been hesitating using my Fiocchi hulls with 800X because I couldn't find any info. Guys would tell me don't try cross referencing data cause I'd blow my gun up... Thanks for the help!
About the static elec on your hulls. Wipe it with a used dryer sheet and the powder drops to the bottom. Keep the great videos coming. I have learned most of my shot shell loading procedures from you.
Love the hat and i am also a fisher of men and love the Lord with all my heart. I enjoy the information on your reloading experience because i have just started reloading
Thanks a lot Tim. The deer are fixing to be in a world of trouble. I feel a lot better and fixing to get me a Golf cart to get to those long walk stands. I pray for ya'll and ya'll pray for me. That's the way it works.
Hello my Brother in our Lord . Dallas Texas in the House . Always enjoy watching a Great Reloading Video with such a Great Teacher with some very important information and data for reloading such a great 12 gauge double ought buck load... God bless you may the Lord keep you protected and blessing you through this year everyone I keep in my prayers that our Lord bless you and protect you and yours ... Amen
That orange WAA12R wad is supposed to be for tapered hulls and might not seal up properly in that straight hull. Also, cut the petals off the wad and it will stack 3 X 3 perfectly like 00 Buck is supposed to. I picked up a couple of jugs of ClayDot for a low price and wonder if he ever tried that powder. I think it must be new because I have not seen any loads in the books using that powder.
Love the channel. You have helped us so much. Thanks to you we now have the best shooting gun/buckshot combos we have ever had and we been going this over 50 years.
OK after watching you for a month, I finally got my Lee lead pot, my Marty #00 Buck mould, had the powder and primers already. I loaded that 32 gr. #00 buck load I watched you making years ago. I'll be trying them out this weekend. With the wads I had they only fit 8 pellets, but I'm fine with that. I'll give you the results next week.
Great stuff BRO, we down here in New Zealand don't know too much about Buckshot loading and I have been a reloading for over 65 years. Just started loading Buckshot and you are my Mentor. Most of my loads are used on Red Dear and Canada Geese. Both game are an official Pest in New Zealand and so the season is 365 days a year and NO licenses and shoot as many as you can. Yes a virtual heavenly paradise. .So as you can guess Buck shot is my choice of a great round especially on the Canada Honkers my special load is 12 #00 Buck using 26 grains HS 800X. Problem in New Zealand is so limited components. Hope to talk to Ballistic Products about being an importer. So BRO keep on keeping on. Promise to become a Patriot when I get to know that's done. GOD Bless you - Amen.
Thanks again Wade for the PMs to help me put together buckshot loads! I really wanted to assemble 9 pellet #00 in 2 3/4 hulls mainly as self defense loads. Do you still recommend the CB1138-12 for that? I have ordered CB2118-12 from BP, but are on back order right now.
Surprised you did not make your own ? Well I finally put a longer handle on the Marty’s mold . After burning the hell out of my hand. Marty molds should definitely have a longer handle for sure . It could have been worse if I did not have my welding gloves on .
"Plz don't consider this load data" followed by very detailed load data or what would be instructions. I got no complaints and because of you I know I need to drop %05. off my top if i am using a magnum primer. Also remember how you said it's cuz the difference in cost for the slow clean vs the hot nasty . I am just getting started on the hand loading and am curious what press and other equipment do you recommend if I want to run: #4buck,00,7/8 or 1oz foster. I am capable and willing to cast my own. I just need a good idea of what I would need bare minimum without compromising quality. Thank you for your videos and schooling the craft.
There are a few presses that will work great loading buckshot; The old MEC 600 jr, 650, Mark-V, or the Size-master all work very well for multi-purpose loading! Wade
Wade, thanks for another great video. You can't beat a BRO reloading video on a Sunday morning. Any idea what the lead payload weight was? I'm getting in some #0 nickel plated and already have the claybuster wad on hand.
Just curious if you were starting from scratch with all new components, would you roll crimp or star crimp? Once again thanks Wade for the detailed videos. Great information
Joseph mccormick... When using all new components, I agree with Wade & Ro boat. If you reload once fired hulls that have been star/fold crimped, it is possible and easy to re-crimp them without a press.
Hey I want to test this theory out but I don’t have the material to do so. I was wondering if you can give it a shot. I, like a lot of hunters or people out there who wants to extend the range of their buckshots. The flight control wads are great but you can’t buy them. So my theory is that if you shoot an “unslit” wad through a rifled barrel would it keep the patter a lot tighter?? The spin will keep the wad stable and the will make the pellets push again the inner wall of the shot cup. Which the shot cup will stay with the pellets for longer period of time resulting in a tighter pattern in longer distance.
Cool vid, with this load you don't use the gas seal and the cork wad, why did you go with this type of wad here? Could you use a seal and cork wad here too?
Is it possible to use 700x with this load thank you in advance also I only have access to 2 3/4 shells same brands fiochhi and I have fed 209a primers as well as fiocchi 616 primers and Winchester super x compression hulls again thank you in advance
Wade I don’t know if you tried this I developed a 000 load. 3” once fired Remington hull cci mag primer 30gr longshot aa red wad tossed in mica wad slick 10 000 loose as they fall in covered in buff the 870 with factory full loves this
Hey wade, I was able to find 3 inch Fiocchi shells. But was only able to find cc1138-12 wads. Could I load 15 pellets in the fiocchi shells with long shot? If so how many grains?
it depends on your #00 shot size. if your pellets are closer to .32 cal then you can stack by 3's and get 15 pellets in your round. and I use 28.5 grains.
Hello sir, i have a question for you as a professional re-loader: If cut open factory load 12 gauge shell and replace the lead pellets ( 00 buckshot) with steel, and of course seal it back- your thoughts, I'm just thinking to go easy way..., Or should I replace powder too??
It would work! But, your payload weight is going to drop a bit so the round may not cycle in an auto-loader. You wouldn't notice so much in a pump or break-open shotgun.
@@BubbaRountreeOutdoors that's what I think.., everyone says it's dangerous because of a pressure difference, but steel is lighter than lead, it shouldn't go wrong, thank you!
hi i have a problem with my 12 gauge loads 2.3 grams imr blue fiber for charging and the problem is that I get a lot of gunpowder left in the barrel what am i doing wrong? mvh pontus sweden
Wade a really great video but we need are more 2 and 3/4 inch videos I have thousands of those I have very very few 3 in some extremely hard to come by in my area
Wade I got a question for you, how much do you think it would cost to for someone to start doing reloads for 12ga. from ground zero equipment and supplies ?
Hey Thaddeus... the biggest problem now is getting supplied; It's easier to get your hands on a decent loading machine than it is to get your hands on some popular hulls and wads now-a-days! But, an investment of 200 to 300 dollars would have you loading some awesome rounds! Wade
Hey wade im new to reloading shotgun . Can you tell me a good load for 12g 3 inch using BP replacement AA red wads I’m using unique powder and lee formed 00 buck lead I can’t find any load data using unique powder and that’s all I have rite now. Thank you sir. .
Hey buddy!! Unique powder is really too fast for 3" mag loads. The best powders for the mag loads are: Blue dot, Longshot, Steel, Pro-Reach, and Herco. You can get by with the faster powders when loading the light 2 3/4" loads.
Thanks for your reply sir . I just loaded some 23/4 tonight with 19g of unique covered with a wAA12R wad cheddite 209 primer once fired royal buck hulls and 9 lee mold 00 buck . Then sealed it up with clear polish . Haven’t tried them yet I’m a 3inch 00buck fan but can’t find load data for unique . And can’t find powder anywhere ! 🤷🏻♂️ I’m knew at all this so I’m scared to chance anything. .
Hey bud. I have a 16ga for last 30 years. In my gun it’s an old Remington I have had good results at 70 yards and less.this was with 00 don’t know what to tell you on your gun but maybe this will help. Good luck and God bless you

Make a video where you try things like cornmeal or other natural materials that we could use as s buffe! Also, 3/4" Bingo chips as over shot cards are much more affordable and you can color code your loads.
Enjoy your videos very much. But now because of our nation's political situation, if you aren't already stocked up on reloading components then you're crap out of luck. Reloading supplies are all bought up except for the price gougers on certain sites. Even the sling shot pellet mold in one of your videos is unavailable or priced out of site. Better do a video on alternate components, sources and supplies. Things aren't looking good anytime soon either. I think we're F'd. Good luck to you.

Hi Wade! You have some great videos! Just wondering what the FPS is on the Cheddite Load using 27 grns of Longshot. Is it around 1155?
Surprised you did not make your own ? Well I finally put a longer handle on the Marty’s mold . After burning the hell out of my hand. Marty molds should definitely have a longer handle for sure . It could have been worse if I did not have my welding gloves on .

Wade do you know where I can get 00 in bulk. I don't have a mold. Just that lee mold that I told you about
