Thread: Re loading Rio Mini Magnum #3 hulls.

I have reloaded the type of cases you have on hand, Chedite-type, with parallel ribbed walls.

Thank you for responding.


I used wads designed for Winchester AA compression formed, tapered wall cases, and did not have any problems. However, the Chedite plastic seems more brittle and thinner when compared to the Winchester AA cf cases. So, I would not expect to get as many reloads from the Chedite cases.

A valid expectation. As mentioned below, they were bought for a specific job and have done it. The matter of reloading was not the main intention but now that I have "lotsa" empty hulls..............



If I was going to use a significant number of Chedite cases I would have bought the correct wads for parallel sided cases, to avoid the potential problem of powder migrating past the wad


I was intending to use Winchester WAA12 wads as I have a goodly quantity of them Sadly I can not find any mention in their specss as to use in parallel or non parallel sided hulls.. So will just have to try I suppose.
