slow poke gear Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I have some 12 ga brass shell my question is after loading and shooting, how do you resize the brass? I will probably be using these in multiple guns. Thanks Slow poke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I shot mine in 3 different guns. Never resized. The case is too thick to deform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Sheridan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Best option is the dies from CH4D. The dies are a couple hundred $, but the most reliable method of keeping them working. Depending on your press you may need to upgrade it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Sheridan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Assuming these are the Magtec brass shells. Dropping a box of them loaded will knock them out of round far enough they may not chamber. Been there done that, also the reason I went to the CH4D dies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Well, I try real hard not to drop mine. I do get annoyed when some Ham Hock steps on one. Other than that, I have not had to "re-size" mine in 8 0r 9 seasons of use. Unless someone steps on one. I've been shooting them in 4 different doubles with no problem at all. If needed, I do have the RCBS Shell Holder and Die set. I use the RCBS die primarily for de-priming and re-priming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Curly SASS#57086 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I have shot Megtech for five years and never had to resize any shells. Lost a few that were stepped on but even saved a couple of them. I have the RCBS Cowboy Brass shell dies but they do not resize the shells. Enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 If you use in multiple guns, and assuming Magtech or similar brass, then resizing will be needed. CH4D is the way to go. The RCBS don't really resize. 12 grains of Red Dot is a good load. 10's a bit too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
