Amen!

Dang Brother Bubba .... I can't remember the last time it got down in the teens around here, nor the last time I heard one of us say "you guys" so many times. Thank y'all for the video. As always, subscribed, bell rung, commented, upvoted, liked, shared ... may the algorithm gods continue-to smile favorably upon your channel friend.

I do love those Gualandi MG-42 and SSW wads!!! Thanks Wade!!!

the best part of this video was hearing ms. Joann speak. keep that jewel close to you Bubba. peace and love to you both.

thanks brother John...

[@michaelrandell4021]

Snow, here in Fla...! Only once 1977. Please tell everyone that keeping records is part of the job and is most important. So I'm rewatching your videos over again. Lol. Now you know the rest of the story.

[@richardsmith184]

I 've been loading centerfire for decades. Loading shot shells sent me for a loop until I saw several of your videos. Loading and molding buckshot wasn't working for me with the crimp. Then I saw your video on 12 gauge buckshot that someone asked you to load 3 buck shot strung together from mold for total of 9 shot. You cut the wings off the wad and presto my problem has been solved! They don't teach that stuff in the manual. But made sense to me. Thanks so much!

[@marklacombe2671]

Thanks Wade, always appreciate longshot loads. I use it for 12g 20g and 9mm, 45. There are better powders for each application but in these times of limited options and availability I resort back to 1 powder to do it all. Also a much deserved thanks for getting me into shotshell reloading. I find it really relaxing and a way to spend an hour or so after the kiddos are asleep.

[@mattkissmyasstyrants8676]

Another great video Wade. -4° here this morning but we need moisture sloughs are starting to dry up. Pray you and the Misses are doing well and staying warm.

[@charlesdriggers199]

I don't see any 0 buck shells anymore in the stores. I only know of one #1 buck load and it's a personal defense load. You are rally doing the sport a service by making these videos . I hope it is getting people to take up reloading .

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

there are a ton of new loaders out there now Charles... I hear from em every day!

[@bertkilborne6464]

Wade's been an asset to my buckshot reloading effort. Prior to joining the Buck & Slug group on Facebook, I was afraid to try any load that's not in the BPI book and my patterns weren't impressive. Now that's changed

[@newbongsmell9896]

It is I'm proof

[@ftargr]

fireside reloading makes for some good production. the component colors look great in those blue hulls, almost wouldnt want to shoot them

[@maine-lysub5onic823]

Excellent, thorough video Wade👍🏼🔥. Finished your video and had to jump onto MA’s and got me a .31 cal mold ordered. We run the woodstove all winter in tandem with our baseboard. Keeps the oil costs down during winter here in Maine. The warmth a woodstove gives is unlike any other form of heat. Full body warmth to the bone and the aroma. Stay warm and keep off the roads 😜.

we finally got a winter this time!! haven't really had 1 in years... hope yall are staying warm!!

Whoa! It’s a post frenzy! Keep up the good work Wade. I’m still working on an easily produced wad splitter/trimmer with the auto eject function.

[@bradkuz76]

Wade, I have a TON of Winchester WST on hand because my son's senior 2020 trap season was cancelled. I've been loading some buck and slug by weight with it. If you have some of that powder could you do some testing to get a good load in 2 3/4 Winchester AA or Federal multipurpose? I just have a lot of this stuff on hand and I'd rather buck or slug it out than bird shot. Great video as always. Thanks!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

I haven't been able to get my hands on any of the Win powders yet! You can match payload weight with any posted data for game/trap loads using your buckshot!

[@markwillard4133]

Does it need to be high brass (16mm-25mm) or will rio feild hulls low brass work.(the dark blue ribed hulls.) Do all magnum loads like this require high brass ? Please answer all 3 questions. Look forward for your answers and I just tested the turkey bb 2 3/4 foicchi high brass primed shells from ballistic products with the 2 3/4 multi metal wads 33grs. longshot in my over and under 12 gauge love them and just finished making the first 25 rounds thanks a million.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

no it doesn't have to be high brass! Low brass hulls work the same.

[@ggwoutdoors2a]

Great series! So when you roll crimp and it goes inward past the first couple pellets, that's ok to do?

[@WhiteMike467]

Would this work with a Cushioned TPS WAD? Or would pressures be increased too much?

[@ytcomments8524]

@Bubba Rountree Outdoors Do you have any tips for tuning the loads? I got horrible patterns from 35 yards for 2 3/4" S&B gold hull, Gualandi BRG 12 and 14, 10 pellets of Lee 00, 27-30 grains of Longshot and Federal 209, with buffer. 18.3 mm or "skeet" barrel.

[@tommcqueen3145]

👍

[@gorillamotors]

If you had to choose between the cheddite or the fiochhi hulls for loading buckshot which would you choose? Why?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

It's the same data for either hull. I use both equally! really no preference for me.

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

Afternoon Wade, hope your well?!. Just checked on c and g's and bp's website and it lists the payload weight for a gualndi h-12 / ssw to be 1 3/8 max but your jamming over 2 oz in there? Just being cautious as I've literally just managed to grab some longshot over here and I'd like to load a 1 7/8oz 15 x 00 buck load in a 3 inch cheddite and I happened to have those wads.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

No data will be posted for a payload that over-stacks a wad. That short wad has a shallow pocket.

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

@@BubbaRountreeOutdoorsI tore the petals off and filled up the shallow pocket in the bottom of the power piston section of the ssw with a 1/8th 20 gauge felt cushion so that its flush/flat and stacked x 15 00 buck by 3's conventionally

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

@@ClarkesonTheMarksman that will work! I use the base on the ssw wad a bunch!

[@gorillamotors]

What powder do you prefer Longshot or Lil Gun in 1.5 oz buckshot loads in the 12 ga and 20 ga?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Longshot works best for me in both gauges...

[@1212skindog]

I'm curious, do the petals on the MG42 wad tear off like the SSW wad?

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

no... the super 12 (mg42) is attached by hinges to the base.

[@johnwalters7415]

Do you know if you can use dive belt sea pearls they say it #4 shot. Can I load shotgun shells using them?

[@jerryjennings4504]

Wade what’s your opinion on using CCI 209 primers and those same rounds

[@jumitoikkanen1152]

Hi!! I would like to ask Can I replace the buck shots with, for example, # 4 copper-plated shots and use it for bird hunting, such components would be available here in Finland. It's nice to watch your videos👍👍

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

Yes you can. As long as the payload weight is the same shot size doesn't matter!

[@g-mc4507]

What about hulls with steel heads? Are they any good for reloading?

[@dubful1]

Doesn’t make a difference if steel or brass.

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

most new hulls now-a-days are steel that are plated with chrome or brass. but you can load any of them!

[@chrisjones5343]

Wade what’s the pattern difference between the mg42 and the super mini?? Thanks

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

the mini patterns usually have a slightly wider perimeter pattern than the full grown MG42. Both are great wads for buckshot!

[@BubbaRountreeOutdoors]

the wads are basically the same. the MG42 has longer pedals and also has hinges holding the pedals to the power-piston (wad base) while the mini has short pedals that are designed to shed during the firing process.

[@jakeaddy1742]

Great videos thanks put me on a 000 video that I can view
