Laughed ‘til my ribs hurt!!

I don’t recommend soaking the fiber wads in anything. Too much lube is as bad as not enough, in the shotgun. I’ve used waxed wads in conjunction with regular fiber wads with the dry wad nearest to the nitro card. I have also fired many hundreds of rounds out of shotguns with no lube at all and not had any issues. Most of the lubed wads I have and have used were acquired in batches that I got from other shooters who’d decided to quit shooting brass shells or black powder. I especially avoid using them in shells that might sit on a shelf for long periods. I always hated gluing the over shot cards in. I found most glues were less than reliable, especially if I didn’t use those rounds fairly soon. I started roll crimping my brass shells several years back and never looked back. Much cleaner and I can fire them as quickly as they come out of the press! I even bought a roll crimp die for my 10ga brass. You’ll likely get a good outcome by wiping the chambers between rounds regardless of what load and what reloading process you settle on. It’s a lot of fun figuring out what load you like, but it can be frustrating too. Here’s a picture of my finished brass shells… This is what that shell looked like after it was fired… A quick rinse and a trip through the tumbler and it’s reloaded and ready to fire again!

Years ago, I ran a small general repair and radiator shop for one of my racing partners. We were located in a rough part of town that was often referred to as “Dodge City” by the locals. It was summer and hot as blazes, the overhead doors were open, and I was at the back of the shop, charging the A/C on a car that I had replaced a compressor on. My help was out in front of the shop replacing a radiator when some local thug walked into the shop and grabbed the cash box! Wil, my helper, shouted at the guy as he came through the door and I headed to the front of the shop with a 12oz freon can in my hand. We were both armed, but there were people in several places along the street, so I threw the can of freon at the culprit and hit him square in the back of the head. He hit the pavement, face down, just shy of the street, out cold. Wil was 6’ 7” tall 260 lbs and ex-Air Force. He walked out and picked up the cash box, stood there for a moment, and then hauled back and and drove his boot into the guy’s ribs! The whole street broke out cheering!! We left the thief laying where he fell and went back to work! He finally got up and stumbled off down the street to the jeers and cursing of folks along the block. Nobody tried to rob us again, EVER!!

That almost twelve place… LEAVENWORTH!!

Outstanding!!

I only ever have to push the last cartridge all the way in. I start the first one in and push it in with the next one. Then I repeat the process until I get to the last cartridge. Since I load the rifle first, I push the last cartridge the rest of the way in with a cartridge that I then load into my first pistol.

Can’t get in! Not a Facebook member. Is there another way?
