hatsanmad Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Hi guys i have recently been favouring the victory hulls mainly the white rabbit and starlight hull for my reloading and also the victory pigeon. Mainly because i found i get a much better final crimp on the loadall. I just wonderd is there anyone else like me on here who favours these hulls to reload? Also are these hulls a cf or pt type hull? Only reason i ask is i have found the bnp z21 wads i use go in and fit perfect in the white rabbits and starlight hull but the victory pigeon hulls the gas seal twists and goes in on a angle and im unsure on how to rectify it any suggestions guys?

sitsinhedges Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 The difference between a parallel tube case and a compression formed one is that the CF plastic is one piece whereas the PT has a separate base wad in the base as per this picture.

hatsanmad Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks sitsinhedges. Do you possably know what may course the wad to twist and go in on a angle? Never had this issue with the other hulls i used just the victory pigeon hulls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarepeg Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's mainly due to the crimp popping thru the fingers and catching the wad. The victory cartridge case is not as forgiving on this( my name for it) and can put your pressures up due to stiffness of case. Saying that I like them.

motty Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Maybe use different cases and then use a gaep finisher, if you're bothered about your crimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatsanmad Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 To be honest im not that fussy on my crimps but after reloading black gold, hull high pheasant rc sipe cheddite and winchester hulls i found they give a better looking crimp. The gulandi wads go in perfect but because of the base wad i think they open back up but with bnp wads they work a treat. Also while its in my head. Is it me or is the vectan powder you get off clay and game more bulky or lighter then the stuff direct of vectan? Reason i ask is because i got given a bit of AS when i started and liked it so purchased some from clay and game and the powder drop from the CnG stuff looks like theres more then the old stuff i used to have and the only reason i know that is because i cut open one of the first lot i did and wieghed 21.6 grain the same drop using the AS off CnG and it looks like theres a larger volume of powder.

deershooter Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I use victory challenger cases when I can they are known as high base that's why you can use a B&P z21 with a 28 gram load they crimp very well , you can also get away with using smaller felt wads in these cases Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
