Floating Chamber Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) yer 67mm are ok i can get a good crimp i just cant go any shorter You can if you trim your final crimp tool down to 62mm. Notice also I removed the 8 star crimp-start. My shot bushes are regulated by a cheese-head adjuster. By screwing in these adjusters, it uses up room in the bush when metering small shot. The slot in the front panel is necessary! Edited April 30, 2013 by Floating Chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel100 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yep. Not bad for the Fiocchi 70mm primed cases, I had a box of 2000 from FES a couple of weeks ago. Seems a good deal and I've bought stuff rom him before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkey Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Cookoff I hope you don't mind me asking With that case and primer and AS powder what wad would you use 1oz load I have never used fiocchi primers and cases Cheers Donkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 depends on what you want to do..... i am assuming 12gauge i have been using 22grains AS, 4mm powdercard, 20mm fibre 1oz shot, should be a good load , a popular CD sudgests you can go alot higher in powder. its a low density powder and meters great well safe. i use the same components for my subsonics 12gauge 12-70mm,17 or 18 grain AS, 4mm powdercard,20mm fibre 32g of #4 shot. as for the plastic variety, in 1oz flavour, i have never reloaded that, but i would look to the data CD or put up a post. the newer fiocchi cases are slightly deeper basewads than the older ones... so are more roomy cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I am sort of thinking about home loads for wildfowling 12G 3.5" cartridges (Steel) not sure if this will keep costs down etc but just looking into it at present to understand it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super sharp shooter Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I am sort of thinking about home loads for wildfowling 12G 3.5" cartridges (Steel) not sure if this will keep costs down etc but just looking into it at present to understand it all There is a saving in 3.5" home loads 15-20p per cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
