Im back for more info this time on steel shot

[Mr. 16 gauge]

It is called promoting their product.

Hi Fabs;
Technically, it's not "their" product....if you look at their website, they sell hulls from Cheddite, Federal, Winchester, Remington, and Rio......it's just that most folks don't have easy access to Fiocchi factory shells, so the must buy from them......almost (and I repeat, almost) a monopoly. I'm starting to think that they have exclusive distribution of Fiocchi hulls for reloading, as I haven't seen them advertised anywhere else.
Seems if you wanted to make more sales of your wads, you would give them a broader appeal, and that means more loading data for various hulls w/ various powders. Imagine if Alliant only put out loading data for Federal hulls......anybody who didn't have access to Federals would probably go to Hodgdon and get their powder as they have listings for Remington, Winchester, ect. I think that if they had a broader selection of loads, they would sell more wads....instead, they want to charge you an extra $13 for hulls as well.
At any rate, I usually order from Precision reloading for my steel wads; their load data isn't as good as the manuals from BP, but they have a broader selection with re: to hulls & powders.
And while I think that their manuals are great reference materials, their published load velocities fall way short on the mark for a lot of them (or at least the ones I've chronyed in 16 gauge).
