gunners Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I find RC cartridges reload well. I have been using these for a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I prefer RC2 in 12 gauge because they reload well and are easy to find when my auto ejects them in the woods. Don't waste your time loading anything other than 70mm cases because most of the data is for these.

FatFreddysCat Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Gamebore white gold reload well, also the white hull lets you write on them in black marker and is easy to see in poor light. A visit to any clay shoot will get you loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Shooter Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I prefer RC2 in 12 gauge because they reload well and are easy to find when my auto ejects them in the woods. Don't waste your time loading anything other than 70mm cases because most of the data is for these. I wouldn't say it is wasting your time, if you have a good supply of 65/67mm cases then it makes sense to re-load them, there is plenty of data for 2 and 2 1/2inch cases if you look hard enough but I would agree there is more available for 2 3/4inch shells. Below is some examples. 005_12ga_PT_cases_50mmto70mm (1).pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 The only snag with reloading different length cases is every time you change the length you have to reset your loader for that length case.. I will only load 70mm cases as my ponsness warren is set up for that length case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershooter Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I use the same load data in 70mm and 67mm just use Z24 on 70mm cases and Z21 on 67 mm cases Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I use the same load data in 70mm and 67mm just use Z24 on 70mm cases and Z21 on 67 mm cases Deershooter The pressures wont necessarily be the same though. Use a shorter case and I would expect the pressures to rise. A recent batch I had tested at the proof house bears this out and it seems to be about the amount of flex in the components as the spike of pressure builds before the crimp opens.
