12ga Brass
Lucky R. K.:
Some time ago I modified the charge bar on one of my MEC grabbers to load black powder. Bored out the shot and powder holes to the maximum possible with the bar. I then made aluminum bushings in various sizes to drop the desired loads. I have loaded hundreds if not thousands of shot shells with no problems. As for static electricity, it has been proven that there is not enough heat in a spark to ignite black powder.
Forgot, you can load brass shells also.

Plastic wads give me the "Over-Powder" the "Cushion" and the "Shot Cup" all in one. Keeps loading All Brass Hulls really really simple and fast.
Is it SPRING YET!!!

Do you use 10 ga plastic wads?

:) Marshal Dillon ;)
Yes . . er . . No. I was using Ballistic Products 1044 10Ga wads. they worked a real treat, except, had to cut the cup petals back for a 1 ounce pay load. Not difficult but some annoying. So I switched to BP Spitfire 12Ga wads that have a 1 ounce shot cup to start with. I have always dropped the plastic wad in on top of the powder charge.
Yes, I do get some snake skin but it cleans out so easily I don't worry about it.

When i do that, the wads are smaller then the inside of my brass case, letting the powder flow up around the wad. Do you put over powder card in before the wad?
