anybody reload shotshells here? Looking for the best place to buy wads.Ive been buying from Midway but wondering if theres a cheaper place.Shipping is crazy.Im @ .26 cents a round.want to cut down some,im already on my last pound of Green dot powder and will be switching to something cheaper.only thing left to try cut back on is the wads

.

You figure out how to use low brass yet?

yea,same same i guess.trying to make it cheaper.think im gonna use the green dot for 45-70 plinker loads and use a cheaper powder and not flaky like green dot to try some new shotshell loads

A while back,  I was in a circle of friends that made a buying hui.   We'd order enough to make a pallet; wads, shot,  cases of 22's,  primers and  powder.   I don't remember if we got primers and powder at the same time.   Anyway, the gun shop would deliver directly to their  Matson terminal.   We'd  go to the  terminal on Sand Island to pick it up.    I think we used a freight forwarder once for non hazmat stuff.     Might be worth looking into for wads and especially shot.     A headache though.   Have to collect money from everybody.   Might have to deal with short shipments.    Theres the risk of pilferage.     But you do save money.

lee with waa12(1-15/8oz) in federal gold medal plastic hulls.the lee mold comes with a few slug loads data

Thank. About to order, Lee 1 oz mold, lyman roll crimp, and  wad for WINCHESTER AA hulls.

.

You tried using the 7/8 mold yet? I heard it has better aerodynamics than the 1oz

only got the 1oz.theres a 49gr blue dot load!Gonna try that next. have not shot for accuracy yet,just for fun 50 yard kine.best for me was 4'' groups @ 50 yards sitting with rest

.

Damn...I'm still stuck at 20-30yds with my loads

get it! its cheap but gets the job done!

Are you using a card underneath the slug? 1oz lee slug fit well with the claybuster waa12? Just saw a video in how to make wax slugs. Anyone made one, any problem?

i have but haven't had to use them.the 1oz lee slug fits good,I do trim the pedals about 1/8"  seems they crimp better with my load combo
