Beagle boy Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Evening chaps I've had a pedretti 12g hush power for a while now and although it's like swinging a drain pipe into the sky I adore it. I been using eley no6 32g hush power subs in it but I can't find anywhere that stocks these locally in Leicestershire where I live. I got about 150 left but been on the squirrels and pigeons in a near by wood close to a paddock with horses in so can't really get away with using the normal 12g or a 410 is still about loud.

Guest cookoff013 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Make them. You will save a small fortune. Especially subsonics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle boy Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 How much is the gear to do it all? Id imagine Geting consistency is hard it's never something I've looked into to be honest Cheers rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I've posted a lot on how to start. I've helped few guys feed there hushpower. I have done 32gram 28gram, 21gram subsonics. I cost calculate again and again. £180 or thereabouts per k (32gram). Cheap plastic machines are available. If you don't want to reload. Buy from just cartridges.

Beagle boy Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's not as I don't I just never thought about it, could be fun that, I'll google done equipment now. Cheers bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Find a recipe to reload first. I can help with that. After you have recipe. Buy those exact components. Don't buy any old rubbish. I would try to find a guy locally who is willing to help. My advice would be get help. Buy enough for 500 shells. Get help, read,resources etc. Make shells. Try them out. Worst case scenario after the 500 you can sell the loader. You will loose not much. Hushpower are 300/k. £180 + £50 lee loadall is £230. That's a saving of 60quid. I see no reason you can't reload close to this. In reality you will be saving about 30per k. That's with the little things too. Nb. Up to 5s or 4s. Same cost. Better performance. The second 1000 you will save £80 or thereabouts. Hopefully someone here will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HushpowerTrim Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 I Second loading your own, I shoot exclusively with a hushpower, cookoff helped me get on track. Loading is another enjoyable hobby and if you make your own lead shot you will save plenty!!! I get lead for nothing so it cost me £120 for a thousand cartriges using new hulls, (very little saving using once fired) Just recently had some big days on pigeons and not once did I wish I was using a normal shotgun with factory rounds! 32g Size 3/4 lead in a good patten won't let much past!! Don't let the lead roundness and hardness obsessed people scare you to much..... Load it and shoot, pigeons just don't care!!! P.m if you want any help with shot making, i promise it's not difficult!
