Thank you for the video, I am new on 12 gauge reloading and all the videos out there are a little complicated but yours is simple and simplicity works for me , much respect sir.
I would dare to guess the pressure will be significantly increased due to drag caused by tape showing fitting in barrel means nothing being load expands after firing? Before showing this had you sent load to prescion reloaders to have pressure tested? I'm betting not.
I use the same load but with 21.5 grains of Green Dot... same velocity as yours. I use the same load (19 grains red dot) for a target/field load with 1-1/8 oz #7.5
Thanks for the video. Hadn't thought about teflon tape. Good idea, it's tough for its minimal thickness.I wonder if adding buffer would tighten groups up even further?
Lol thats half a step back from what we used to do.....friend of mine used to put bb shot in a trap wad (short cup and a longer cushion 'tail' section) then then stickytape around the cup petals and over the front.....flew like a european type solid slug so quite accurate but was like shooting an animal with the barrel touching it when you shot something.......lol was limited to an open choke with them.....even a 1/4 choke would rip the tape apart
If you want a pattern of 6 inches at 50 yards, then you should just use a slug. I don’t know if you can get 6 inches with buckshot at 50 yards. Thanks for the question.
you can buy wads that are uncut rather than taping....however....the flight control wads have small fins that open when leaving the barrel to slow the wad down keeping the shot column together longer...your method basically makes your buckshot into a slug......another bad UA-cam experimenter with too much time on his hands.....
I been speculating in my head for months on this concept thank you for your innovative ground work sir I will be trying this out now I just need a buck shot mold 😊
Super video - thanks for making your technique for making 12 gauge buckshot reloads so clear.
Thanks.

Your welcome I wish you all the best in your 12 gauge loading

@@rogeradkins9146 Teflon based tape increasing drag? New one to me, given that it is used a lubricant.
Send some to Taofladermaus.
Please shoot some of these at 25 yrd and compare with regular buckshot
BP MG 42 wad will work well for this.....just dont slit it......cheers!
That press is smooth as butter. Interesting technique.
A MEC is nice when running right. Lol

I like the green dot too. I also use it for 9mm and 45 acp. I found old recipes online. Not much cleanup after range time.
Awesome video ! I never thought of that ! I will try it right away !

I don’t know if adding buffer would do anything. It’s hard enough getting Teflon tape wrapped around the shot.

It works but I got some new wads with no slits in them. Cut them like the factory wad now
Great tip! Poor man's flight control wad. I'd love to see results from a ballistic gel test. Especially with #4 buckshot. Within HD distances.
It works well
Unslit Shot cups work much better and easier to craft
test ???
What would you recommend for consistent 6" patterns at 50 yards?
If you want a pattern of 6 inches at 50 yards, then you should just use a slug. I don’t know if you can get 6 inches with buckshot at 50 yards. Thanks for the question.
Next to impossible
This guy is from PA no doubt
Ah! to prevent the wad pedals from opening correct?
Yes
I think I'll try this with my 00 buck .
Hi James. It seams to work. Let me know how it works for you. Your in ohio right?? Can you use buckshot to hunt deer.
@@maxxbear5014 No buck shot for deer here , I load some for fun and Home defense rounds
Does it foul up a semi-auto?
It does not foul my. model 11
I'm not seeing the purpose of the T-tape?
Good idea..... Virgin tape..

Just another guy that sits on his butt 24/7 and watches you tube videos all day. And thinks he’s Tarzan. Lmao
