I've read of ratios of 4:1 up to 10:1 in favour of Isopropyl alcohol. Which one is correct?

Before you start, make sure you read the literature. Lyman's, "ABC of Shotshell Reloading" is a good one. Make sure you keep to their recipe and stay clear of the maximum powder charge until you are confident. If you are determined to get to your chosen speed then you will need a crono. Be careful though.

Yea, put me down for 2 double XL, one red and one blue.

Nip down the chemist and pick up a box of Citric Acid (AKA Lemon juice) You won't need much, about half a teaspoon full for 200 cases. Don't leave them in too long as it will leach the tin out and the cases will look more copper coloured. Dave

I have dealt with John from FE for some time. He is a perfect gentleman and will go out of his way to help. If you ordered Hazmat products then it is probably down to the courier. Dave

I use "Jungle Formula, Maximum". It seems to do the trick OK, even if it does smell a tad rank. Get it from the chemist. Dave

I've got a feeling that this is an accident waiting to happen. Don't play about with this, it will only put you in hospital.

Hiya Claycracker As has been said, Clay and Game has some information. Otherwise, have a look on John's site at Folkestone Engineering Supplies. He has some loads published on there. Good bloke to deal with and a mine of information. You won't go far wrong there. I use him but then again he is relatively close. I've never used brass cases. I get all my old hulls from the clay ground. You have to be choosy though. Don't get any that are rusty or wet and stick to one make, it saves a lot of hassle. Dave

Hiya and welcome to the nut house.

Welcome to the nut hutch from another member of the Essex fraternity. There's quite a few of us on here. Dave

+1 for The Fennes. Another good shoot is just over the bridge at Dartford but you would have to be accompanied by an instructor. Easy to get to. Literally first exit as you come off the bridge. They have everything there, 14 Sporting stands, 5 Skeet ranges, 2 DTL, 2 ABT, 2 Compac ranges. Very friendly and well worth a visit. Regular competitions. Dave.

Welcome to the nut hutch.

Hiya and welcome to the nut house. I sometimes shoot clays at Dartford but have been out of action for a few months with an injured finger. You'll learn plenty from the guys and girls on here.
