DaveT Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 So, I enjoy using an old 16 sxs but the types and cost and availability of cartridges isn't ideal. So what do I need to start reloading cheaply? I've scales from my 308 reloading already.and where can I find what powder is best for it?

wigeon jim Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi, I load my 16g shells on a lee load all but really its only dropping powder and shot as I RTO all my 16g shells, all you will need is a RTO bit for a pillar drill if you are going to use new cases, hand weigh powder and shot, really cheap way to get started,there are a few powder that work well in 16g, PM me if you need any more info, Jim.

DaveT Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hmmm a pillar drill sounds a bit bulky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve w Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have a small bench top pillar drill its perfect for rto but you can also use a battery drill .you can only do 15 ish at a time anyway before the rto bit gets two hot .

Floating Chamber Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) If you can only do 15 before the tool gets hot, you are in need of lubrication or spinning too long. I can spin 250 in next to no time, non stop. Edited March 21, 2015 by Floating Chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
