Rancho Roy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Got busy with the lathe on this raining Friday. Made a couple tools to reload my 10 gauge shells. Works pretty good. Waiting for the conversion parts to arrive for my MEC 600 MKV.....Until then, I'll do it this way.....

Warden Callaway Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 When I collected a few 10 gauge shotguns, I tried to find once fired hulls. Every lead ended up a dead end. Finally bought 100 new Fiocchi from Grafs. Bought a Mec 600 with short 2-7/8 adaptor. Star crimp looked awful. Shortened hulls needed shived to star crimp right. Shot a few and black powder would burn through the plastic just above the brass base. Then I scored a nest of brass hulls. Much, much better.

Tequila Shooter Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 That reminds me I’ve got to load a 100 or so this week. I buy the hulls primed and then use the old traditional way of fiber wads etc. Then I roll crimp, they work good in my 1903. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
