Guest cookoff013 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 the basewad in them is very high. so shorter wads in general. i`ve loaded a few 100 brand new hulls of this type. if fit becomes an issue roll crimp the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I know very little about reloading shotgun shells but doesn't the base of this type of shell collapse on firing and thus reduce the felt recoil? If so, surely it wouldn't work the second time around? Just a thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk52 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Gordon System cases are excellent for reloading. I only load either blue diamond or black gold cases. My load is 24gr GM3 4mm card and 20mm fibre wad and 1oz of shot. You may struggle to get a decent crimp if the wad is 23mm long. A white Winchester WAA wad works with 1 1/8oz if you can get them. I will measure one and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ahh good stuff, i have a bucket load of once fired blue diamond and compared to most other hulls there of excellent quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 i personally dont like them, but that still doesnt mean they are bad. i just dont like them. i`ve relaoded about 200 of them. i had to roll turn them as the basewad was too high.
