Kemen Sotshells

[Drue]

I have come into a couple of hundred Kemen 12ga once fired cases. Is anyone familiar with these things? I am trying to figure out what wad to load these with. I would be loading 1oz of 7.5 at about 1250fps.


Thanks

There are some hulls that aren't worth fooling with, and these are on that list. You won't find any load data for them because no one bothers with them.

What I used to do was cut one of every different hull I had in half lengthwise.

It is then a simple matter to figure out what wad the odd balls use compared to a known brand hull.
And write the load data for it on the peg-board over the bench I wired them too.

Like this:

Kamen hulls are just Rio hulls and use that data. I have reloaded some nice steel loads in them for a shoot once and let 'em fly type load. One thing is, they use a larger primer like a Fiocchi or Rio primer.

If you do not have europian primers, I wouldn't mess with them.

They use the same data and components as Cheddites and RIO, typically a Gualandi wad and for Reifenhausen type hulls

+3 for that they are a high brass rio..
