Would someone explain how to load a Popper Load for dog training? |

I just take some of my old hulls with split necks and cut them off to about 1 1/2" so they're easily recognizable and seat a primer. Works well for my dogs. |

No crimp? no filler of any kind? |

I have been shooting just a primer for years for training. Saves my ears and especially the dog's ears.

If you want to use more than a primer I have an old Hodgdon 12 gauge popper load that works well.
PM me if you want the information |

Thanks for the replies. The primer in an empty shell works great. |
