M. Peterlawman will sell you all you need including the Loadall 2. http://www.peterlawman.co.uk/ The recipes are simple for what you want. I prefer 24grams of shot in a VP05 wad for my claybusting with a CX2000 primer and 21grains (1.36grams) of Vectan AS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 sits, that looks like a great recipe. whats the FPS and the psi? it should be a quickie ! The FPS was 1275 when I tried it. The psi is probably on the c&g cd It's a very mild load so I haven't worried too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Hey sits which carts are being used as donors? I use any 70mm PT type that will recrimp well but prefer Hull Pro One and RC2's, White Golds aren't too bad but the brass tends to crumple sometimes when you resize them. Usually get my empties from the DTL stands so I can get a load of all the same type. Avoid Eley's. Always double check internet data and satisfy yourself that it's safe.

You have to go out and try them, different people get different results with different equipment etc, but use them once and throw them.

Guest cookoff013 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 the american hulls can withstand a beating, stronger plastic. the paralell hulls can be shot a couple of times. if you look at the area where the powder was, the plastic thins upon firing. more than a couple then crimping and other problems occur.

RESEARCH AND RECORD for future use: Cheddite primers are slimmer than those of Fiocchi, Martignoni and UEE makes. Some manufacturers use both Cheddite and UEE cases. Example: Take 67mm Eley 'Firsts'; it is easy to discard good cases that will accept a Cheddite primer. LOOK at the height of the brass on these cases; the shorter brass will house a Cheddite but in the slightly higher brass, the Cheddite is a VERY loose fit. The primer socket is LARGER because the UEE primer is several thou 'fatter'. Eley olympics too are problematic to the unwary. Here, not only does the company use two or three different cases, they also use 67mm cases that, in a batch of spent cases, are hardly noticeable. This is why the crimp 'pops' when a homeloader blindly reloads with a sausage machine like a MEC 9000 or a Pacific. GET TO KNOW your spent cases like the back of your hand. If possible stick to one type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Your brass should never crumple if you use a MEC Supersizer. (The best thing since sliced bread!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Your brass should never crumple if you use a MEC Supersizer. (The best thing since sliced bread!) It's the resizing bush on my decapper, doesn't do it with any other case. It's cheap so I can live with it and only use White Gold as a last resort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
