    New to Shot Shell loading--need hulls

    Ordered a PW 375 with 12 and 20 tooling. Ordered a second tool head for .410.

    Looking for 200 12 gauge hulls to get started on. Gave away about 300 of them 2 years ago. Didn't think I'd jump to shot loading but here I am. Press is back ordered for 3 months so have time to get gather data and supplies.
    I'm finishing out a 2 year work gig on the road but will be home in MAy. Would like to find an experienced shot loader in the Sacto area to have a cup of coffee with. Like to gather as much knowledge as possible before I jump in. Safer and don't want to reinvent the wheel. Met a couple great mentors 6 years ago when I started with pistol so looking for a good shot guy. TIA

      Fiochi hulls with 626 primers appear to be widely available. Where are you located and what are your shooting goals?

        12ga reloading isn't too bad. Get hulls.
        Match wad to hulls and what ounce loads. I.e. 1 1/8 oz wad. Follow recipe. Weigh shot and powder drop.
        Wad depth will determine the crimp. Open petals at final crimp, lower wad.
        Lots of help here. Pm me if you need info.i just reload target loads.

          I have a ton of Remington Peters Premier hulls. If you cover shipping I'll send you a bunch.
          Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

            Dirtlaw----found hulls. Shooting goals----before I went on the road for work, I shot every weekend for fun. Did some Wild Bunch shooting which I liked and will probably go back to when I retire. So, loading for cowboy action would be primary. however---its more my reloading goals. I want to learn how to make good ammo be it cowboy, varmit control, buckshot or---. Just want to learn another skill set and make good ammo.

              Start small and work your way up. All the reloading info and loads can get overwhelming if you take too much on at once.

                Good luck, I spent most range days first thing collecting hulls in '19 and '20 until it dried up. Now if there are any left it's federal and misc thin walled hulls.
