Is the savings worth getting into reloading? Shooting bismuth is expensive. My sons and I really enjoy duck hunting. We go quite often so it gets pretty pricey.
it used to be alot more cost effective to reload but now it is about the same but I can say reloading your own shells you know it is more consistant compared to factory loads
I'm still working on my favorite home made load - I have a couple of challenges which i like to work on. 1) Shot velocity must be >1310fps (legislative requirement in Denmark) 2) I'm trying to find a bio-degradable wad - just to avoid plastic in nature. We also hunt ducks from boats I am going to take a closer look at the BPI website for finding load data and books (Y) For ducks I go with #3 or #4 shots 1 1/8 Oz High velocity. For goose I go with #2 or #3 shots 1 1/4 Oz High velocity
Update on my first comment. I managed to find some fiber cups in UK. Unfortunately they don't ship out of UK which makes getting supplies a bit of a struggle. But I have made some 3" loads 1 1/8oz steel shots #4 driven by 40gn Alliant Steel powder. So far I don't have access to chronograph. Hence velocity is unknown. But they pattern pretty well and evenly.
A 10ga reloader then before buying any hulls, powder or wads I would buy a couple reload manuals for steel shot and find a couple recipes you want to try and then go from there. Duckhuntingchat.com forums have some great info as well for reloading steel shot for waterfowl.
Looking to start reloading my shells as well. Have had similar challenges with inconsistent factory loads. Have you experimented with adding 1/8-1/4 ounce of TSS to your steel to add some pattern density? Interested in creating this style of duplex. Something like a 3&9 I would think works well
@@dillonsebastian I have not tried adding TSS I normally stick with load data, but I may try it. But I have tried duplex loads with steel and have not had much success on the patterning board
Budd you have a cool channel!!! I don’t have a pupp YET!!! But I’ve been enjoying your content. I think it’s time to subscribe.
Thanks you!
Look at those prices
What is the weight of gunpowder required for filling alliant steel powder 28 and 30 gr?

Ahhh the good ol days when you just opened up a website and AS and 209 primers were in stock
When I first started like 6 years ago Alliant steel wasn’t always easy to find just had to check email a lot to see when it was in stock.

Gustav Undall-Behrend I hope you can find some bio degradable wads and if you do post a link maybe look into trying to load some as well!
Hi for what gauge are you after the bio wads ?
@@manchapkarm3626 Hi I'm shoothing 12 ga 3"
You can make some paper tube,and glue a cork ward on bottom then cut slot on paper tube. High quality paper is stronger than plastic.

I like you style guy
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
To be honest you could check out your local area you find it cheaper my local shop is where I go i can reload 5 to 7 a box
Any problem using Alliant Clay Dot with #6 steel shot? Slower fps? Shorter range?
I have only Used Alliant Steel, but from what I have read Clay Dot would have a slower FPS and in effect a shorter effective range.
@@BTaylorOutdoors Okay makes sense, thanks for your reply.
BP never has anything in stock.
I know since i made this video i have been trying to get some extra hulls and never can find any in stock anywhere
Seems to be a industry wide issue.
15 min. Video to tell us to look it up ourselves.... I get liability but saying what YOU di would be nice.
I’m trying to find that same reloading book but can’t
www.reloadingspecialtiesinc.com/Reloading_Specialties_Inc/Reloading_Specialties.html
You have to call them to order the book and also to order the SAM1 wads.
How much gunpowder
What do I need to reload 10 guage steel shot #2 #3
