Dusty Sometimes Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Anybody know a source for smooth, non-ribbed, primed Shotgun hulls for black powder reloading? I know about buying once fired AA or STS hulls and I know I can just buy primers and reload once fired hulls, but I'm looking for a source for smooth bodied hulls already primed. I've checked The Curmudgeon's Ballistic Products. Thanks DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Howdy Dusty, BPI was the only one I could think of. Just curious ..........why do you not want to do step 1& 2, (deprime-prime) but are gonna have to do steps 3, 4, 5, 6 (powder-wad-shot-crimp). Good Luck Jefro Relax-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 One crazy idea is to just dismantle factory loaded rounds and rebuild with black powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Sometimes Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Yep I do, when I need BP shells I'll dismantle a box of AAs, put in BP and reassemble with a card on top. Guess I'll order once fired shells and reload with primers. I was just surprised that there's no primed SG hulls with smooth exteriors for sale, they're all ribbed.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I was just surprised that there's no primed SG hulls with smooth exteriors for sale, they're all ribbed. Since * the primer of a shotshell has a major contribution to the pressure in a load (especially with Smokeless loads) (there's much more variation in payload of shotshell primers than in centerfire primers), * and BP shooters make up a very small fraction of the market, * and smooth high quality hulls are mostly designed for target shooters (also almost completely smokeless users), * and folks who have a machine to assemble the powder, shot and wad also have a part of the machine that deprimes and reprimes * and that primed hulls ship under ORM-D restrictions, while unprimed hulls do not I am not surprised at all that there is no source for primed target hulls. You might just be one of a handful of folks in the US who would be a potential customer . Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
