Loading Brass Shells
Mogorilla:
I have RMC 12 gauge hulls. I use white clue to finish them off. You can write the Shot size on the top card in a sharpie, then cover in white glue, when dry you can still read it. I do this, as 2 shells are home defense shells and would not want to shoot them at targets. Easy to spot. I can really recommend RMS shells. They are stout. My fancy loading tools are a rawhide mallet, a dowel with a cupped end, a board with a big hole and an ice pick. Can do 10 in short order.
Bart Slade:
I just started using brass shells, I have some RMC and some Magtech. Have already discovered that the RMC's are superior with identical loads.
I attribute this to (a) the tighter tolerance, which means the components fit very tightly in the RMC's, which means less blowby, and (b) the RMC's use a 212 primer whereas the Magtechs use a large pistol primer.
I've been using a light blackpowder load - 25gn 2f and .8 oz shot. Worked fine in the RMC's (and plastic hulls) but doesn't get the job done with the Magtechs.
