Bismuth Loading advise required


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

If not loading many just get new primed hulls no resizing needed so much easier.

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.
