Reloading?

[Rapier]

The two machines came in last week and the reloading supplies (Chedite shells, primers and Fed wads) came in last night, so I unboxed the supplies and loaded some 28ga hulls . One thing I did find is that the Chedite hulls did not like the WW wads and the WW hulls and WW wads did not like the load or perhaps the set from the machine. The Federal wads worked just fine with the Chedite and Nobel Sport hulls (they look the same). I decided on 13.5 grains of Unique, because I have two 8 pound canisters, with the 3/4 ounce load. The book says the load is 1200 fps. The only size shot I have right now is a bag of 7 1/2 that I took off my Lead Sled. The 7.5 shot is OK as I use 8.5s or 9s for most birds and use 7.5s for the long birds on true pairs.

Now we just have to try out the loads and wait till I get the three bags of #9 shot in.

Perhaps this weekend I will try my hand at 410 loading. I have an 8 pound canister of H-110, so will start with that and the 7.5 shot.

Thanks again for the info.
