Has anyone worked up any loads with 12g shells anywhere from 1-1/2 to 2" ? I am trying to reload some of the new Aguila minishells 1-3/4" 12 ga shotshell (1-1/2" OAL loaded). THey just have a 2mm thick plastic circle wad over the powder and the buckshot ball loose on top. I would prefer to cut down some trap shot wads and use them so the shot won't contact the barrel wall and i could also load some Lee key drive slugs.
I would also like to cut down some old hulls to make 2" OAL shells but am not shure what OAL to cut them down to so they will be 2" OAL after star crimped.
I would also like to experiment with roll crimping if i can find a decent roll crimper. What are the pros and cons of roll crimping?
