welshwarrior Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Ok I've fallen in love my 28 bore, but the cartridges are expensive I favour Hull Clay and Game for walking around and clays. So what do I need to buy as a crow to reloading and where from at good prices second hand preferred to make my own Clay and Game.

Guest cookoff013 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 if you intend to shoot alot, reload. seriously you will make better shells, and not have to pay the seriously depleating prices especially for the light 28gauge. i reload 12gauge for fun. i use virgin components, including the hulls. i would seriously recomend the mec 600JR, even though i have just upgraded to a sizemaster. it just resizes slightly different. the components are available in fibre and plaswad. although i seriousley recomend getting some virgin components for a load, just to reload to see if you like to do it. as for loads, loads vary from 5/8oz to 3/4oz, pick one you like, and just change the shotsize. or the 5/8oz for clay, and #6-5 3/4oz for game. powders to look at would be... tecna, http://www.siarm.it/product_info.php?cPath=96_103_113&products_id=552 at 0.9grams per cartridge would be cheap, even though the powder is expensive, you are using very little. thats for a 21gram load, so would be very suitable as a go-alone powder...

welshwarrior Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Anyone tried to import a MEC 600Jr or similar from EBay USA they seem to have a lot. Is is easy to change the gauge as I can find loads of 410 or 12 bore but not many 28 bores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
