ratty1 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Good afternoon. I'm about to purchase a t.wild 12g 3inch hammergun. Tight choked 30inch barrels. It's nitro proofed for 1 1/2 ounces . Im looking for a fibre /felt goose load in Bismuth. I thinking 40 grams of Bismuth 2s would be something useful to 40 yards. I'm going to buy a leeloader for loading but I'm new to reloading shotguns. I've always had a mate load for me. Many thanks Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holloway Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 The essentials are scales ,and a rto machine or roller for a drill ,Blue dot powder or long shot, good powders ,John at shotgun reloading south Brent will have all you need ,and reloading data. For fowling you will probably be ok without a loader . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty1 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Thankyou Holloway. I did wonder if I could getaway without the Lee loader. Just resizing would be the issue. Johns not far from me and would be where I was heading for components anyway. I will only fire 20/30 goose loads a year so not a lot. I use the 10 for most of my fowling. I'm getting shot of my modern guns now and going old school. For the little I do nowadays I want to enjoy it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not loading many just get new primed hulls no resizing needed so much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get away without resizing for a double, as there's no automatic feeding involved. A spin doctor tool would be more useful in my opinion.
