Working on doing another video for the pattern test on this load. It does have a nice pattern. The pattern is very similar to my goose load testing video, you will just have many more pellets than the goose load.

I just scored 2 lbs of Alliant Steel. I have been waiting 2 years.

Muller chokes says 1300 is the best for a better. Pattern and anything faster blows out the pattern. He says you don’t need 1500fps to kill with steel you need a better pattern more so than speed

I would agree. I have been able to get a 3” shell with Alliant Steel with a great pattern running at just over 1400 fps. Check out my newest video.

How do u like the #5 on duck? i struggle whacking ducks with anything smaller than #3
@Duckslayer10967 ай бұрын
I think they work well. But I also like a duplex with BB and 5’s. Especially for some of the longer shots.

If you had to choose a reloading jig. Which would prefer?
@Duckslayer10968 ай бұрын
I have only used MEC. I started with the MEC 600jr and got a smoking deal on a MEC 9000 progressive. I use the 600jr for my hunting loads, but used the taper station on the mec9000. I would definitely recommend having something that can put a taper on your shells. If you don’t you will eventually have loading issues because the crimp end will become wider then the hull itself. If you are just starting I would recommend a single stage, to figure out what your doing.

I’m interested in learning more. Do you have a website or tutorial to help me get started?
@Duckslayer10969 ай бұрын
I do not have a website. I can do a basic needs video if you would like. Best advise is to buy a manual and then buy your reloader and equipment. I started with Lyman’s Shotshell hand book. Once you read the manual you will start to understand and then see how easy it is, if you follow the load data.
