I'm still working on my favorite home made load - I have a couple of challenges which i like to work on. 1) Shot velocity must be >1310fps (legislative requirement in Denmark) 2) I'm trying to find a bio-degradable wad - just to avoid plastic in nature. We also hunt ducks from boats I am going to take a closer look at the BPI website for finding load data and books (Y) For ducks I go with #3 or #4 shots 1 1/8 Oz High velocity. For goose I go with #2 or #3 shots 1 1/4 Oz High velocity

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

Gustav Undall-Behrend I hope you can find some bio degradable wads and if you do post a link maybe look into trying to load some as well!

[@manchapkarm3626]

Hi for what gauge are you after the bio wads ?

[@gustavundall-behrend1791]

@@manchapkarm3626 Hi I'm shoothing 12 ga 3"

[@texassabre7214]

You can make some paper tube,and glue a cork ward on bottom then cut slot on paper tube. High quality paper is stronger than plastic.

Update on my first comment. I managed to find some fiber cups in UK. Unfortunately they don't ship out of UK which makes getting supplies a bit of a struggle. But I have made some 3" loads 1 1/8oz steel shots #4 driven by 40gn Alliant Steel powder. So far I don't have access to chronograph. Hence velocity is unknown. But they pattern pretty well and evenly.

[@thastinger345]

Ahhh the good ol days when you just opened up a website and AS and 209 primers were in stock

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

When I first started like 6 years ago Alliant steel wasn’t always easy to find just had to check email a lot to see when it was in stock.

[@michaelcavazos3671]

Is the savings worth getting into reloading? Shooting bismuth is expensive. My sons and I really enjoy duck hunting. We go quite often so it gets pretty pricey.

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

it used to be alot more cost effective to reload but now it is about the same but I can say reloading your own shells you know it is more consistant compared to factory loads

[@bodybag0]

BP never has anything in stock.

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

I know since i made this video i have been trying to get some extra hulls and never can find any in stock anywhere

[@craigtheschmeg3253]

Seems to be a industry wide issue.

[@scottsoutdoor9569]

I’m trying to find that same reloading book but can’t

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

You have to call them to order the book and also to order the SAM1 wads.

[@HuntandShoting-AliAhmetBank]

What is the weight of gunpowder required for filling alliant steel powder 28 and 30 gr?

[@craigtheschmeg3253]

Any problem using Alliant Clay Dot with #6 steel shot? Slower fps? Shorter range?

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

I have only Used Alliant Steel, but from what I have read Clay Dot would have a slower FPS and in effect a shorter effective range.

[@craigtheschmeg3253]

@@BTaylorOutdoors Okay makes sense, thanks for your reply.

[@beekeeper8474]

Look at those prices

[@dalewoods7308]

To be honest you could check out your local area you find it cheaper my local shop is where I go i can reload 5 to 7 a box

[@Gareth96v1]

Steel powder $24/pound... LOL

[@gabrielsullivan2704]

How much gunpowder

[@R90916]

What do I need to reload 10 guage steel shot #2 #3

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

A 10ga reloader then before buying any hulls, powder or wads I would buy a couple reload manuals for steel shot and find a couple recipes you want to try and then go from there. Duckhuntingchat.com forums have some great info as well for reloading steel shot for waterfowl.

[@twowheelfarm9024]

15 min. Video to tell us to look it up ourselves.... I get liability but saying what YOU di would be nice.

[@정표홍-y7y]

Please tell me the shop's internet address

Comment your favorite duck load!

[@dillonsebastian]

Looking to start reloading my shells as well. Have had similar challenges with inconsistent factory loads. Have you experimented with adding 1/8-1/4 ounce of TSS to your steel to add some pattern density? Interested in creating this style of duplex. Something like a 3&9 I would think works well

[@BTaylorOutdoors]

@@dillonsebastian I have not tried adding TSS I normally stick with load data, but I may try it. But I have tried duplex loads with steel and have not had much success on the patterning board
