My call to Hodgdon confirmed that the powder residue I have is normal for this powder, as it is an older generation gun powder that leaves more residue than the newer powders do. I'm happy with the buckshot results I have so far. Now that I know that what I have is normal, this may be the...

The 84mm rounds we used to use in our Carl Gustafs were huge, and when you cracked one off it was like being in the middle of your own personal tornado as a vacuum formed and then collapsed around you. ------------------------- I had no idea that artillery like that would do that! Is...

Today, I went to the range and did some shots of my buckshot reloads. If you recall, last time I made some rounds that used trimmed shot wads and teflon wraps. The only trouble was that the patterns opened up to something like 20-24 inches, shot at 15 yards. Again, I'm shooting a 12-ga HR...

Problem fixed. Something was going on with the server. THIS is even easier.

Okay, I have more photos with shells done with a trimmed shot wad (petals trimmed) and a teflon wrap. In case you have not read the latest in the first buckshot range report (Buckshot Loads - Range Report!), the distance of the range is 15 yards, not 25 yards. My mistake! This is the HR...

What the?!? When I attempt to upload photos while adding a post, says that "upload of file failed." What's going on?

Update! The distance of the shotgun range is 15 yards, not 25 yards. My mistake! Coming up tonight or tomorrow is Buckshot Loads - 2nd Range Report! I have some things to get done first, but I have pictures, and I'm not sure what to make of the results... Stay tuned!

Yes, Walmart has them for $7-8 for 15 rounds of #00 buckshot (At most, about 53 cents a round) . This is the CHEAPEST you can find without going online. Ammoman.com has Wolf buckshot for 67 cents per round. Actually, it is cheaper than going online! I don't even know what type of primers are...

Currently, for 12 ga 2-3/4" shells, I'm using either 9 pellets of #00 or 6 pellets of #000. It turns out that if you have to use standard wads because you can't afford to buy slug/buck-specific components (overpowder cards/wads without petals, teflon wraps, etc.), your best bet between #00 and...

Thanks for fixing it, Darwin!

Darwin, Your posting at your Lee web site does not work. When I click on "Submit" It hangs, and then tells me that it's a PHP script and ask if I want to open it with KWrite. Also, the Preview results in a 404 and 500 (internal server). Please fix this, as I have a good intro post that...
