Guest cookoff013 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 what are you trying to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) You can put any recipe for a given sized hull into that sized shell so if the recipe states 70mm any 70mm hull will do apart from compression formed hulls, but they are very rare to come across anyway. What matters is that the combined components fit the shell properly so it crimps properly. What is the recipe you are trying to follow and where did you get it from? PS, you can get endless 70mm hulls from any clay ground. If you reload them try and stick to one type as they can vary slightly between brands and spoil your consistency. Try some different ones and see what you prefer, use once then throw. Edited November 22, 2015 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Shot sizes marked on the cases are irrelevant! When loading lead, If the recipe calls for 30 grams of shot it doesn't really matter what shot size you use as long as it fits in the case and weighs 30 grams!...

Uncle Albert Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) No problem. Clay grounds will have 70mm hulls coming out of their ears and the have to pay to have them taken away. Select hulls carefully though. Try and find one that has thicker plastic and clean. Some brands have a plastic insert in the base. They can be hard to get the old primer out so avoid them. I use Fiocchi F Blue and they load different sizes OK. It's the recipe that counts. Make sure you use the right wad for the recipe to get the wad height correct. It's important to make sure they are dry so don't pick them up after it has been raining.

Oh and i got my recipie from clay and game. Some of the old clay game recipes are borderline dangerous and have no pressure data attached to them. Care to share this recipe?

chris1961 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I get all my hulls from clay grounds my favorite are whitegold they load great as for recipes I go on internet to powder manufacturers website's they are a mine of information if you are unsure about a recipe and really want to produce it just take 1.5 grains of the powder make a few if ok stick to it but NEVER add to the original amount stated on the recipe it's that amount for a reason if to slow increase powder by .5 grain try that's how I tune my loads to how I want them above all be CAREFUL I would rather work from a slow load than a hot you only get one chance with a to hot load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
