wot 16g cartridges do u use

[clakk]

got me a gabone 16g single folding for roughing and wondered wot carts u guys recommend

I reload my own and a great saving, too. I specialise in 16 gauge.

It really is easy and so rewarding.

I prefer a 65mm shell, with hot primer, 18 grains of Vectan A1, plastic wad, and 25 grams of lead shot. The shell is crimp closed and spun.

Cost....about £3.50 per 25

that is well cheeeep ,do u use a lee loadall or what do u have

[Floating Chamber]

Starting off, the simplest tools are the best; often folk 'invest' in an expensive press, only to find all that they can make is scrap.

Buy a secondhand LeeLoadall II and then a 16ga conversion kit. A set of scales is essential to check bush throwings.

Later on, after you have fired your first homeloads, you can develop your hobby further.

There are scores of devoted loaders on this site; help will be in abundance.

 

Making your own shot cuts the cost! Read and glean all you can from past posts on the subject. It is not rocket science!

you can save money reloading these perverted calibres. machines just make it faster. but the financial recouperation is longer. but with the 16gauge it should come pretty quickly.

 

there are much resources here, just ask. if there is a loader locally, ask them for a demo.
