Smokersmith Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Try the Hodgdon site. 48 loads for 1 3/8 lead loads in rem cases, please check they're the right spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 What are tapered cases? Do you mean compression formed cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think there compressioned formed STS tapered, as opposed to to cheddite for example, I have hodgdon longshot recipes (thanks Smokersmith) but they give Rem R12L wad, I would be most interested in using fibre however when I push a 20mm wad in its tight at the crimp and gets progressively loose as i push it down and I wonder if the pressure would be too high with the fibre, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have loaded a good few of the Remington STS cases and some of the recipes were with Gualandi wads which were exceptionally tight but they performed well. I have never tried them with fibre however but guess the results would be fine as they were with the euro wads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
