12ga Magtech hulls w/ plastic wads?


Tyrel Cody

Recommended Posts

I load my brass 12ga. with the same things as plastic hulls, plus the overpowder nitro card and overshot card.

60gr FFG,

nitro card,

red wad,

1 1/8 oz shot,

overshot card.

 

I get better patterns with the plastic wads versus fibre.

@Warden Callaway where did you get the hand priming tool? Is there a current production one made? 

 

Antique.   You can find then on eBay.

I would have to go along with the 10g plastic wads.  It is the only thing that I use in my BP shells with all brass hulls.  Makes for a nice snug fit. Carry a few of these easy to spot loads when from past experience, there might be some tough KD.  1 5/8 lead shot will flatten any and all from an open bore SG

When I first started loading Magtech, I tried using the same plastic wads I'd been using in me AA hulls.   They didn't work very well.   As others have said, perhaps using the larger wads would work, but I never thought of that.   I just switched to the fiber wads and everything has been fine since then.   And yes, I load them with smokeless.

I use 8 gauge Walters wads for my Rocky Mountain Cartridge ten gauge 3-1/2" brass shells. I "glue" the overshot wads with Duco Cement.  :)

The only 12Ga I shoot anymore are MagTech All Brass 12Ga hulls.  12Ga wads as used in plastic hulls just rattle around in Brass hulls.  Not a grand Idea.  I like the BPI1044 wads although I cut the petals back (kitchen shears) for a 1 Oz payload.  Work a treat!!

The 11 Ga. Nitro overpowder card I use fits very snugly and makes the loose 12ga plastic wads a non-issue.  More than one way to skin that cat, like a lot of BP stuffe.  ;)
