Mine don't seem to open up enough to avoid mangling the wad. I'm trying to avoid manual hull insertion, it's become one of my pet peeves. It's not so bad on my 600, which is where I load my RGLs, bu ...

I have some paper hulls that might also get the hot iron treatment based on your replies, but I’m still working on other loads. I can say so far the RGLs I have treated performed well with one reload ...

DUK,

Correct. That works fastest. I have yet to find a fiber wad on the ground so I think it disintegrates, versus the nitro card for which I get lots of ribbing as they end up at station 8.

I watched the whole thing. Recorded as much as I could on the VHS. I could have smacked Casey Casem for talking incessantly while Led Zeppelin was playing in the background.

I had no thoughts of ...

LOL…6 bids…I hope at least one of them intends to restore it.

However, if I lived in an area that would merit it, and considering I only load 16, it might do as a home defense gun, cracked barrel b ...

I’ll be giving it a try at some point, but I really did like Universal for some loads. For now I’m playing with Perfect Pattern, and I have Longshot for the heavier loads. I still have some Unique f ...

A few years ago (before ShootingBOT) I had set up a notification email with Midway for Universal, all sizes. Just got 3 notification emails that it is discontinued for all sizes, not sure if that mea ...

If you need it right now, Box cutter and a vise or clamp…safer…put shell in vise and cut away the crimp.

If you want to save the hull, use a pair of electronics needle nose pliers (thin jaws) and p ...

Well, I suppose I should be thankful that the warnings are there. It would be a sad day if they stopped supplying lead because Bubba won a lawsuit.

Loaded up 105 rounds of 3/4 oz and shot today. The 5 rounds were for the chrony which was in the other vehicle, doh! But shot 4 rounds of skeet, managed a 24, they seemed to pattern great. There we ...
