Not from that list of broken links it can't

Vectan AS is for 12g , you want to use Vectan A1 for 20g.

 

Wrong, AS is fine for all those quoted. I have hard copies from the Bordin site, but the Gualandi recipes are the same.

Of course you are right, I was using the claygame CD as a reference and that doesn't have any AS recipes for 20g.

 

Unlike the vague foreign recipes it is clear and thus safer to use IMO, unless you can speak fluent French/Italian.

EASY:

 

Innesco = Primer. (Type and make e.g CX2000, 616)

 

Polveri in Grammi per tipo di chiusira = powder in grams and type of closure.

 

Stellare = star crimp.

 

Bordo tondo = Rolled Turnover.

 

Borraggio = Wad

 

Piombo Grammi = Leadshot weight

 

Note = Note.

 

And here endeth the first lesson.

Well instead of showing off why not just give the man a recipe he can use

 

Just think of the time you'll save

It was for future reference when the Bordingl site is fixed.

Well some times you just come across one of those blokes that really surpasses the duty of fellow shooters. I inherited a Redding shotgun press off my father that from a ten year old onward I had loaded thousands of cartridges on. This was such an important piece of equipment to me for such a long while, then cartridges were cheaper to buy and the press just gathered dust under the stairs for many a year.

My father, once a county champion is in his 80's now and was under orders to clear out his junk, I couldnt let the redding go for scrap. I also had 20kilos of no6 shot to go with it but only one bushing, the rest had been mislaid in a move at one time or another as the parents down scaled. Determined to get the thing working again I tried and failed to get some bushings for it as they are no longer made, though I did manage to aquire 3lbs of red dot and 1lb of green dot for next to nothing.

Using my lee rifle reloading gear to weigh the powder, the wifes scales to weigh the shot and the press to do the rest each cartridge was not a speedy operation.

Enter floating chamber, a very generous fellow indeed. He sent me a pm to say that he had some redding bushings lying in the back of his shed somewhere and after weeks of digging he managed to find them. Now I don't expect anything for free and was willing to pay a good few quid for the bushings as they arent exactly hanging off trees round here. In matter of fact Floating Chamber could have ripped me right off but instead he packaged them up, six in all, and sent them free of charge, he even paid for the postage.

Now its not often that happens, I have just loaded 50 cartridges on the press and its a delight. Floating chamber your a star and I certainly owe ya a pint or six, wish there were more like ya mate.

My pleasure RG!

I must also, on my part, give praise to sitsinedges, who did the same for me with a Simmerstat for my Lyttleton Shotmaker. Reloading is a passion and through it, we encounter some real good guys!

The very first cartridge I reloaded with the redding a few weeks ago brought a pigeon down stone dead, I have shot hundreds of pigeons over the years but I will not forget this one. Once again floating chamber, thanks, there is something special about reloading your own.
