Yeah I know, local store keeps hornady buckshot in stock. I haven’t bought any because I plan on getting a .35 cal mold soon. The Lee 000 buckshot mold is .360 cal.
I'm excited to see more experiments in the 835. My only issue with mine is that I have to choose the perfect powder for lighter loads(under 1.50 oz) or else I don't get a good burn, and wind up dumping unburned powder out of my barrel. The lower pressures of the larger bore are a blessing and a curse, and it doesn't help that my barrel is ported... and so are my chokes...
The first run HS hulls do have the square around the AA, I have several hundred of the original production HS from like 2004. They look just like the compression formed hulls but shinier, and they have the separate basewad.
Thanks man. I’ve never used beard oil lol my wife has a hair drier that’s a brush at the same time and I use it to basically straighten my beard after I shower.
Your thumbnail showed an 18 pellet 000, twice the normal load. Did not see it in the video. Came here for the 18 pellet triple aught. I appreciate details like the nose taper for reliable feeding. Pruno
Hey, new Shotshell loader. I have learned a ton from your channel. Most appreciated! Just curious tho, the .35 cal. You used, were they coated? Curious if powder coating would make them too large. Thank for any help!
Hey Heavy Load Guy , Great Video and Great Info . I know you said where you got that Taper die , but could you tell me again , Old Age Syndrome , but please tell me again, just for Old Time Sake ! Take Care and Be Safe
I may need to try this load. I have some hornady OOO on hand to see how it does. I havent had much luck so far finding s load that will do what i want. Ive tried blue dot, red dot and longshot, all with the cb1138 wad with and without filler and OO buck and AA gray hull. Im patterning at 15 yards and my goal is roughly a 6 inch cluster which i have not been able to obtain thus far. Dont get me wrong, all the loads ive made have kept the pellets in the torso and would work. Perhaps these combinations and my rem 1100 with 22 inch slug barrel do not like.
Slug barrel? As in rifled? If it’s a smoothbore with a cylinder bore choke the only way you’re gonna get really tight patterns is by switching to .31 cal or smaller and using steel shot wads. Those pattern like federal flitecontrol buckshot. Loading shells like this and using a cylinder bore choke is only good for about 20 yards before the pattern starts to get really wide. If it’s a rifled barrel, buckshot will never pattern good.
@@theshotgunscientists its a smoothbore open cylinder as far as i know. No markings on the barrel stating otherwise. Time for more experimenting i guess.
I was hoping you could help me out a little bit. I plan to reload steel shot for waterfowl hunting. My dad has the machine and some shot but he doesn’t have any wads or powder. His machine is set up with bottles on the top and is set up for an ounce and 5/8 powder charge. What would be the best wads for that? It would be 3 inch shells of whatever brand shells I find, rio, Winchester, fiocchi, Kent, and any other brands I find. And what is the closest powder to Winchester 571. It’s what he used to use.
1 5/8 ounce of steel will barely fit in 3.5” 12 gauge man. It’s typically what’s loaded in 10 gauge. You’ll have to drop down to 1 1/4 to 1 3/8 ounces at the most. Blue dot or Alliant steel are the powders you need. As for 571, hodgdon hs7 replaced it years ago. Same powder, but hs7 was recently discontinued as well and as of right now no replacement exists.
I've been getting into 2-3/4" heavy loads recently *Thanks for the helpful info here* I'm still finding out what works best in my gas operated semi auto. Tyler - If you read this - What do you base the decision upon, to use 29 gr Longshot in the 1.5 oz load vs 28 gr LS for the 8 pellet load ? Is it just the way they pattern ? Also - Ever tried Mica Wad Slick ?
Never tried mica wad slick but it does work for it’s intended purpose. I’ve seen other people use it. As for powder charge, that was a matter of straight wall vs tapered wall shell.
Thinking about getting Bam 00+ guess it a little bit smaller than 000 and little bigger than 00. Wonder will it fit 9 pellets in 2 3/4 shell with CB 1138 without dimping the hulls. Thanks
You’d have to load 8 or 10 pellets stacked by 2’s, 9 pellets bulges the hull out stacked by 3’s without the shot cup. Not much but a little. 35 cal 000 will stack by 2’s but true 36 cal 000 won’t.

@@theshotgunscientists speaking of, mine just got here last Saturday.. That thing works Great! I went through about 100 old loads and finished em off.. I really like the tapper it gives em.
@@chrystalsmith8732 I can buy them from the shop across the street from my house and from stevens firearms in the next town over. Got a brick of them last year at a different shop.
Every time I see the original AA hulls, I feel like I have missed out on something great. Everyone speaks so highly of those
You can get them from bpi and gunbroker, they really are great.
One of my all time favorites.

Original AA and Activs are my favorite.
Got a fair stash of the latter but not even a box of AAs
Hornady 000bk is 35 cal ..says it on the box...and it comes in a 5lb box for 36.00...swaged hard lead...great stuff

You have some great videos , very clear , informative and so glad I found your videos.
Thanks man
Would love to see a casting video like how Wade does it as well
You can load the remington STS hulls with the same components, they wear like iron, I have some on their 10th reload.
I know, I like those hulls a lot too I just prefer old style AA hulls.

Try using regular target wads for lighter loads, like the cb1138, they expand to the bore way better than a tps or lbc wad.
Compression formed have the line around the AA new hs doesnt have the square around the letters AA
The first run HS hulls do have the square around the AA, I have several hundred of the original production HS from like 2004. They look just like the compression formed hulls but shinier, and they have the separate basewad.
I learned a lot from Bubba but I am learning a lot from you brother.
Thanks!
Great video, thanks. None of that is available here in Australia, maybe I will have to import a mold

It only increases size by like .003 it’s not enough to worry about

Could you have replaced the CB1138 wad for a gaulandi ssw in the second load/straight hull?
Yes
What do you think of remington gun club hulls?
They’re among the best 2 3/4” hulls for reloading. Tapered hull anyway. We’ve got lots of them but I just prefer the original AA.
I casted some .36 - 000 and 10 pellets comes out to 1.63 oz. Is that going to be too much payload for a 2 3/4 hull?
Nah I load 10 all the time
@@theshotgunscientists awesome! Loving the library of videos you guys are collecting. Thanks for all the info 😃

What chrge of blue dot would you use on that first load.
34 grains although 8 pellets may not fit for the crimp anymore
