Thread: New to shotshell reloading and I know enough to know I don't know enough

If you want to go with fiber wads its fairly easy, old pinex tiles seem to be a common choice but you need a way to cut them to the correct diameter, cardboard also works although takes a fair bit more effort as it compresses quite easily so takes more card to get the stack height correct,

pretty sure ballistic products produces fiber wads and the importer was beaver grease? not sure if he has any in at the moment though,
if you're using brass hulls I assume that you'd be using overshot cards? if you get a hollow punch they are easy to cut out from spare boxes and then affix over the shot with glue, nail polish, candle wax, theres lots of different options for that.

pretty sure magtech brass isnt rated for smokeless powders, may be wrong on that one, I know that you can convert some larger bore rifle brass into 410 bore but again dont know if that would be smokeless safe.
