[@floydskyfire]

these have worked out great for me. i been using the walmart bb's for a while with great results. Longshot is my fav.

[@TomAHawk-lb8wk]

Do you have to use special powder to load steel? Is long shot one of those powders?

[@floydskyfire]

@@TomAHawk-lb8wk no I don't believe so I just use the Walmart double A shells I'll get wadcutters quads in loading with about 26 grains to 30 grains of Longshot

[@floydskyfire]

Well I hope yall have a great season ours opens in the morning havnt done much scouting been raining here all week didnt get to hunt last year so I am going to try to make up for that this year.watch out for them rusty backs and GOD BLESS

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

I'm never prepared when the season opens! We're usually so busy on the farm that Spring Turkey season always sneaks up on us!

[@smartacus88]

I always wondered why steel waterfowl loads weren't advertised as pulling double duty as perfectly adequate turkey loads. For us guys that can't afford a million different components and a dozen different powders this kinda information is invaluable. Thank you. I'll be getting my Lee Load-All dusted off to make up some 3in Steel BB loads to have on hand for the few days a year I can chase turkeys, and also for the once in a blue moon I get a chance to shoot at Teal and Mallards with the double barrel.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

My pleasure brother. Good luck this year!

[@ddselvig]

I don't know where Bill Kalwas gets his hull supply, but he always has what I need. I told him you mentioned his name on KZbin. He was glad to hear you put in a good word for him.

[@glendavis9663]

Is there a website where I can order some shot gun hulls?? I looked up bill kalwas. An I couldn’t find anything for shot hulls for sale

[@Reloader826]

Thank you for another Great and Informational Video ... Hello from Dallas Texas ... God Bless .

[@saltcreekammo]

Me and my family used this load in both the 2.75" and 3" for duck hunting this year. They work excellent. I'm going to dabble with some #2 shot soon for a slightly better pattern, but these still did well, like I said. Mr. Bill Kalwas hooked me up with 200 3" Remington's for about $32 (shipped to Utah from New York). Some of the hulls had dings in the brass, but they functioned well in my 11-87 and my dad's A5. They DID NOT cycle well in the Browning BPS... Just FYI.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Thanks for the info Keith! Yeah, Bill shoots Benelli, and Benelli will chew up the hulls sometimes!

[@saltcreekammo]

Also, I was using CCI magnum primers. Sometimes the hulls would separate and even stick in the chamber. So I'd say if you're going to use magnum, put 32 grains of Longshot. Tests with the #2 went well, however to get good crimps, you need an overshot card. I just used an old cereal box and some scissors for the cards-- worked great.

[@markwillard4133]

I'm 63 years old been reloading every rifle cartrige known to man just started reloading shotgun rounds and found your site looking up 12 ga. feild loads from feild hulls. I have now watched just about every veido of yours i could find your reloading station looks alot like mine. except mine is in the master bedroom if im not sleepy I can get up to my reload statiom and work on a few rounds . Injoy your down to earth approch to reloading to the public. will look forward to the next one.

We are only allowed to use #4, 5 or 6 for turkey in Ontario Canada .Lead shot or steel or other non toxic .Not allowed to use anything bigger or smaller !

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

That would make an AWESOME DUCK / GOOSE load too. Awesome video Cuz.

[@utahlakewaterfowlassociati996]

thanks Wade, it's been a struggle with these hulls cause theirs no data for them.

[@guysmith183]

Hi Wade. I was wondering why you switched to Steel Rated Modified Chokes and 40 yards for these rounds, as most of your videos use Full Chokes at 50 yards. So I asked a friend with more shotgun experience than I've got. He told me that one could severely damage their shotgun by shooting large steel pellets (greater than #2 size) through any Full choke, especially the fixed Full chokes of vintage shotguns. I know you're aware of this, but I wasn't. P.S. I really like your videos!

[@user-qp3eb4pm1zfatcatreloading]

Your friend is right. I never use a choke or bore size lesser than modified with any shot harder than lead shot or hard cast lead.

[@chadbrezina6294]

Hey! Love your videos and you’re great at answering questions. I can’t for the life of me find these or wads that will work for my Titewad, or Longshot powder. I can’t find lead, but I can find daisy bbs. I have waa12r wads and waa12lr wads. I can’t find primers but have been reloading primers. Please let me know if I can use any of these combos. Thanks!

Thanks again Wade

[@catfishjohn56]

was told during ww2 not god ammo for goose hunting many timers used steel air rife bb but was told it was dangerous because they could bridge and plug barrel pleas talk of this love all your vidos

[@markwillard4133]

ps to turkey load using the cheddite 16mm -12 gauge 3 inch hulls blue -I would be roll crimping.

[@sireliot2149]

Nice presentation. Where I live shot size is limited to #4 and smaller for turkeys. I wonder if steel would make sense at that size? Also, I have heard of counting BB shot using taped primer trays to keep consistency between loads. I'm not sure I would bother with it but pressure might be a concern especially with steel or 3.5" shells.

[@johngiff2978]

have you ever used the sam one wads in your 20 and 12 gauge bb reloads? I have a problem getting ballistic product wads in Canada Thanks!

[@hbmoore7803]

That is definitely a magnum load buddy lol I almost spit Copenhagen on the wall 😂

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

🤣

[@ditchdigger93]

Riddle me this shotgun man. I could not get anything but paper Gold Metal Match Federal hulls from Ballistic Products as that was the only hulls they had at the time. 2 3/4 inch Multi Metal shot cups and around an ounce of steel BB shot. 33 grains of Longshot powder and right on the bottle it gives over 37 grains for a 1 1/8 ounce load. Two in a row blew the case heads apart at the rim? Why? I even went down to make sure it WAS Longshot and I DID have the scale set correctly, all was as it should be. These were shot in a 930 Mossberg Auto loader in good condition and clean. After the blowups I shot two #4 lead Magnums threw the gun with perfect results. I'm not a newbie and have loaded probably in the millions of shells for shotgun, rifle and pistol in my life. I DO know what I'm doing and I'm always safe as I can be doing it. So why would this happen? Before this mishap I had loaded four with a stought load of Green Dot and those wouldn't even eject from the gun and left a LOT of unburned powder in the barrel. I've never had a load posted right on the powder can blow up in the chamber like this the only difference being the shot. They were shooting an 1 1/8 of lead and I loaded one oz of steel. Any Ideas on why ?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Paper hull data will be different than plastic hulls! paper isn't near as strong as the plastic. I have never loaded any paper hulls before. but I know that it's a different data! Wade

[@vasilykandelaki]

Bubba, thanks for great videos. One question if I may.. you use Longshot which is close to Steel by burning rate. I have some steel left but looking for a substitute. Do you think Herco with burning rate 19 (only a few points slower than Steel and Longshot) will work with Steel loads? Thank you for your opinion!

[@guinesdog]

Hey love the videos. I ordered some of the 3” Remington Nitros from Mr. Kalwas and told home Bubba RounTree sent me! 😀Do you think a Federal 209A primer will work with these Turkey Loads?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

awesome!! Yes, the 209a will work fine.

[@guinesdog]

@@BubbaRountreeOutdoors Awesome…Thank You 😀

[@robertfrapples2472]

Great video, as always. Question: Can I use a TUPRW12 wad on your 2 3/4" Longshot load instead of the Multi-Metal? Also, what kind of primer did you use? I was going to try either a CCI Mag or a Win 209 with a Rem STS hull. I shot some BBs with some Alliant Steel powder last week and couldn't believe how hard those little hornet nests hit! Probably a great home defense round, especially for poor shots! Perps would get shot again by the MRI machine!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

yes u can..

[@user-qp3eb4pm1zfatcatreloading]

Yes. You can use TUPRW12. I’ve used it for steel and lead loads.

[@centraloregonoutdudesmanby2995]

Love this tip brother. Thanks for all your hard work. I can’t seem to find any load data for longshot and 3” TUPRW123 wads. Would that wad work with your recipe you think?

[@markwillard4133]

P.S the weight was within a plus or minus of about 5 grains. on these 3 inch shells.

[@ytubeerr]

I'm here in Ca. and for the first time this year I have to hunt without lead shot have you noticed any damage to your barrel shooting steel great video btw thanks

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Hey bud! Cally has lost her mind!! I am sorry for what you fine folks are dealing with... all modern chrome-lined barrels work well with steel! If you're loading the steel shot in a full length wad, the shot doesn't contact the barrel at all anyway! Ya'll stay safe and good luck this turkey season! Wade

[@genesmiley3727]

What about a non-chrome lined barrel?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

As long as the shot is in a full-length wad there shouldn't be any worries!

[@gregorymceaddy8884]

Steel shot is a go to in bb for home defense...i.e.non flying turkeys...

[@stephencooke6380]

What primer do you use in these loads? Great videos, very helpful to a new reloader like myself. Thanks

[@attaway9able]

Mr Wade, have you ever experimented with Alliant Steel powder in doing development for your turkey loads?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

yes I have! I have used 34 grains of Steel powder in a 3" load, using a 2 3/4" TPS wad and 1.8 ozs of Lead shot.

[@Imagamer85]

Thanks Wade another great vid

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

My pleasure Patrick!

[@itsfnclassic3827]

I know you said you like to use those two powders, but I’m curious if you’ve ever used IMR Blue in a steel shot load. Also, unrelated to this specific video but regarding your slug loads, have you tried the IMR Blue in any shells with the Lyman or Lee slugs?

[@markwillard4133]

after checking my 3 inch shells by reloading one with non white lighting wad and 1 1/4 oz. of bb's 33 grains of longshot and buffer and shot card weighed it then weighed all the shells i already loaded and roll crimped they weighed the same. so I must have loaded all with 1 1/4 ounces of bb,s. thank you for your reply anyway .

[@MichaelJohnson-xk1gp]

wade i see this is a old video but would this load be ok for remington barrel with carlson steel and lead choke mic at .700 or do i need to go to mod choke ? dont know fps or pressure on load.

[@keithcurry9919]

Wade i need your help with 3.5 inch 2 ounce turkey loads. Is there a way I can email you

[@jbates1463]

thank you so much for your time and effort you put into these videos. quick question. what would happen if you put buffer in these loads?

[@toddg1840]

Can you use copper and zinc coated steel BB's as well? Found a good deal on the copper ones in thought maybe it would be easier on the barrel to use copprt or zinc coated

[@nathancatlin3849]

I know this is an older video, but I was wondering about the feet per second on these rounds , maybe in the 1400 range. Thanks for the videos

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

[@nathancatlin3849]

@@BubbaRountreeOutdoors thanks for your reply as you were saying in you last video reloading stuff is hard to find and all I've heard about reloading steel shot is you must follow recipes exactly and haven't been able to find what I need but ive got some once fired Kent hulls and some Walmart bb's lol and a pound of Longshot, im just getting in to reloading and wanted to load up a few shells to duck hunt next weekend.

[@sebastianmassarotto5603]

They need to bring back the 800x best powder om my 20 guage loads

[@gumby-vk4mo]

those bb's are to hard to run in any shotgun butt thank for the connection on shotgun hulls.

[@saltcreekammo]

TPS wads are rated for tungsten (tungsten propulsion system)... Tungsten is harder than steel, so these Walmart BB's wont harm anyone's guns. I've personally loaded these rounds and have had major success in the marsh with them.

[@chadbrezina6294]

I have some steel wads, but found that the WWAA12 wad actually does the same. Gives me about 1.1 oz of steel. Curious your thoughts on it. It doesn’t give the wad all the way up to the crimp, but I’m not using a choke either. Will this be okay for my barrel?

[@user-qp3eb4pm1zfatcatreloading]

Full length wads work best. I have to admit I’ve used a lot of different wads with crush sections like windjammer, federal 12S3, fioucci 1 1/8 wad for steel loads. I did it just to see if I could. They worked well and out preformed some factory duck loads. I used Hogdon LongShot powder. I even loaded conventional old school loads using cut out milk jug plastic like Mylar wraps just to see if it would work

[@utahlakewaterfowlassociati996]

in them loads, which hulls do you recommend not using? I've picked up a large amount of Winchester super x steel hulls, are these hulls ok to reload? thanks for reading.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Those win hulls should be great for reloading! Most modern hulls are good for reloading

[@ocean374]

Hi wade question can I use a regular wad without over filling it and still be safe in the shotgun or I still need to use steel wad thank you

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

You can overfill a wad if necessary, you can leave the wad column at the wad height if you want. there's no wrong way to do it.

[@clks1165]

Is the psi those loads safe for 3" chamber?

[@michaelalvarado9195]

Hey bubba, have you ever used 1/4 in steel bbs in a 2 3/4 Hull? Your thoughts on it would be great . Thanks, big mike

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

That would be .25 cal steel ball? That would be a #3 buck size. No I haven't tried that yet! Is that sling-shot ammo Michael? It should work great shot thru an Imp cylinder or cylinder bore choke! I may have to give that a try...

[@utahlakewaterfowlassociati996]

another question, a lot of reloader guys tell me to never reload with .177 bbs, they tell me it will ruin your barrel, what have you incountered?

[@thewatcher611]

They are actually harder than the steel shot made for shotshells. BUT, you will notice the high quality wad he is using here is what keeps the shot contained till it exits your bore. Sadly, BPI has discontinued these particular wads. But there are other steel wads out there. Head to your local gunshop and ask if anyone working there reloads shotgun. I have the Lyman "Shotshell Reloading Handbook", it lists many steel loads, I recommend getting any book.

[@DallasGT]

any input on the two different sights? I watched the install video on the black one. then noticed you had a longer fiber on the camo. any pro/cons of the two? thanks buddy!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

+DallasGT Yesser! I removed the long Tru-glo off of the camo Stoeger and installed a Hi-Viz sight... the Hi-viz doesn't sit high on the rib like the Tru-glo sight does! The Hi-viz sight mounts flush to the rib and gives you a better sight picture! IMHO...

[@Granitehawk30]

you do realize those Air rifle BB's are .175 than a true BB shot .180, Second they are harder and brittle so they can do more damage to your barrel and lastly they are more expensive per pellet than Steel Shot.

[@bajadan6441]

I think they are the only thing some people are finding right now -

[@Medmann48]

On the 2-3/4" shells what is the weight of the BB's when you fill to the top of the Multi Metal wad?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Rt at 1 oz

[@adrianhernandez916]

Bubba roundtree outdoors if you would could you please respond to my message. It's in regards to a similar comment from another viewer. I'm active duty military stationed in California. Well that being said were required to use non toxic shot for Turkey hunting and it can't be any larger than size #2 pellets so With that being said I can't afford to pay the big ticket prices of alternative non toxics for better Kinetic energy and penetration. So here I am watching your video. Point being I was wondering if you had data or seen the results of using pure copper bbs as in the "copperhead" brand or something of the like. Because the conclusion I came to is this I've found a buddy that does shotgun reloading I figured I could use the pure copper bb's to experiment with and if they work use for waterfowl. And that would give me the ability to try to and find normal size copper shot in say size #4-6. I feel that a good high brass 3 in shell with 1 1/4 oz copper shot would produce good down range accuracy kinetic energy and good pattern density. All this being said I already have decent quality nickel plated waterfowl loads "Winchester dryloks" 3" 1 1/4 oz #4 size that pattern well. Could I go as far as to use that existing shell (which is economically cheaper and more easily available) and just contact say carlsons and have them recommend a choke tube that would fit the bill as in give that expected xfull toy choke pattern ?

[@sobersportsman]

Anyway to load steel to shoot out of a regular barrel?

[@markwillard4133]

In the fiocchi 2 3/4 high brass stright wall hull need more than just the 2 3/4 muti metal wad to reach the crimp level. if not what should I add.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

you can always add an over-shot card to get a good crimp if the shot column is a little low.

[@markwillard4133]

I noticed when you loaded the first 2 3/4 shell with 33 grains of longshot you pushed the powder bar with one finger to the left and the bar returned back to the right side is there a rubber band on it or what.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

yessir! When I'm not using the machine for shot, i use a rubber band to return the charge-bar!

[@Superspiff]

Are the bbs too tough for a 20 gauge barrel, or does it have to be lead bbs?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

they work well in the 20 ga!

[@markwillard4133]

I noticed when using a non white lighting wad the weight of a load of bb's just to the top of the wad weight is 1 1/2 oz. with 33 grains of longshot would this load be safe.

[@saltcreekammo]

are there any other hulls this load would work in? For instance, new Fiocchi, Cheddite, Federal or Rio hulls from BPI? I think these will make nice duck loads for me this fall (I might experiement with steel #3 shot though).

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Yesser! The new Fiocchi, Cheddite or Rio hulls would work well!

[@saltcreekammo]

Bubba Rountree Outdoors very good... I also saw you sell high brass assorted hulls on your site. Are those 2 3/4", and would they also work well with this load?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Yes and Yes!

[@vpsaline]

you probably don't want to shoot steel through your turkey full chokes guys!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Never have shot steel thru anything that wasn't rated for steel! The chokes tested here are Mod... Blk Stoeger has a Carlson Improved/Mod. .701 constriction & the Camo Stoeger has the Mod. choke that came with the gun, .699 constriction. Both rated for steel.

[@germanprepper]

Im assuming the BBs are .177 and not 22 cal but I would rather ask than assume 😆. At my walmart they don't have the steel but do have broth 177 and 22 in the copper coated steel would that work in place of the steel. Sorry for the questions but im new to reloading and I cant find lead anywhere around me and the only powder and primers I can find are at academy and they are not that cheap anymore thanks for the great videos.

Good Afternoon Sir, I had a question on hulls, I have some steel load data that calls for 3" fiocchi hull and a 616 primer, could I sub this hull for another straight wall hull with a 616 primer? Fiocchi hulls are hard to come by here but I have plenty federal speed shok and rem nitro steel hulls. Thanks again Sir.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

@@dustinmorris6935 Dustin... I have used the 616 primers in both Federal & Remington hulls with excellent results!

Can I use alliant steel powder in a mec steel master reloader?

[@ddselvig]

I tried a #38 MEC bushing to try to get 27.0 gr of Alliant Steel to meter reliably in my MEC 600 Jr. Variations on each throw were about .3 gr either way. I'm still looking for a better way.

Do you use the TPS in place of the MM wads now?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Yes... the wads come from the same mold only they discontinued the multi-medal wads.

have you done BB, #1 or #2 steel before?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

No David... I haven't tried the #1 or #2 steel yet! I need to get some and see how it works out. Wade

Hello, I just found your channel and have been binge watching a bunch of the shotshell reloading videos the last few days. I just picked up a bag of steel F shot and was wondering if you had any experience with loading stuff like that? Thinking about working up a 3/4 to 1 oz light and fast load to shoot chickens with and any predators that might be trying to get into the coop. I also keep that gun where it's easy to get to in a hurry, so it will kind of also be double duty as a home defense load. I'm running lead #2 birdshot at the moment for the chickens and it has worked well. Looking for something inexpensive that will have a little more punch if need be. All of the #4 buck I could find was over $5 lb, plus shipping and I think that would be overkill for the birds (The F might be as well, won't be sure till I can test it out). I'm still looking into getting a #4 buck mold at some point, but the price on that steel was too good to pass up (about $2/lb shipped). Thanks for any information you might have.

Can I sub black powder for the powder your using? Not a rich man here. LOL

[@hollimanflooringinc]

I gonna have to voice my opinion. ..that's not enough pellets in the load or the turkeys head...yes it would kill him but if you had to shoot through a little brush it's not enough. ..and if you hunt where I do, your not always In a open feild....but I love your videos I'm just going to say that is not a good turkey load...

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

You're 100% correct Cody! I had several folks ask me to put together some turkey loads using steel BB's... I guess that's all they have access to!

[@111broncofan]

Travis Thacker you’ve clearly never shot a gobbler. Enough said.

[@ddselvig]

Have you ever had any problems with scoring the inside of your barrel using the Daisy BBs? Everyone seems to say not to use them, but it seems to me that loading them to a level below the top of the shotcup will keep them from contact with the barrel. I loaded a box of steel shells using Daisy BBs but haven't shot them yet. Your thoughts?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Hey Dan... I've never had any trouble at all! The barrels are chrome lined and very tough. You have a wad that carries most of your pellets and as long as you dont have too tight of a choke you will be fine! Wade

[@ddselvig]

Wade - I went out and shot some of my steel Daisy BB loads last weekend. They worked just fine in both my 12 gauges, pump and semiauto. I use the TUPRW123 wad which has pretty thick petals and they really do keep the shot from scrubbing the bore.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

That's awesome Dan! Glad it worked out pal...

[@ConfedVet]

BB's are harder than steel shot, not good for your barrel.

[@trashpandaoutdoors772]

They stay in that wad all the way down the barrel....meaning they dont touch the inside of the barrel at all.
