greetings from colorado! i was hoping that some one could help me with tips, tricks, or possibly caveats. i'm wanting to load a few 10 gauge steel waterfowl loads. i'll soon have a lee loader,(the 60's type hand tool, courtesy of thr trading post). i bought some winchester w209 primers at wallymart this afternoon. a buddy says he has some new hulls, (remington) and possibly wads, all of which are probably 25-30 years old & at a bargain to me. does anyone have any experience with this animal?? shot or powder suggestions. i had one in the early 80's and it seems like we loaded #3 buck back then, used the same lee tool. all i remember is that i made effective shells. the rest is a fog to me....we were in our twenties, my pal had a marlin bolt goose gun along with some #3 buck homebrew loads. we were on the dike at the lake, a strong winter wind was coming off of the lake. the small flock of geese aproaching seemed to be suspended in one spot as they fought the wind to get in to the lake then land. it may not have been prudent but it was certainly effective, he stood up and fired a double. two geese fell like rocks. 150 paces away we picked them up stone dead. i bought an h&r single shot a week or two later. quite the guns really...anyway nuff rambling, but i'm getting back in and has hoping for some input....love the thr forums!
thanks
