[QUOTE="Clay Target Guy, post: 1633395, member: 68920"] DJ, a quick couple of things, 1) you don't need #7 TSS to make a clean kill at 60 yards, #9 will do it any day of the week. 2) you don't need a vise to crimp your hulls. If you like to tinker and play with wood you can do as I did and make one. Couple of screws and a couple of scrap pieces of wood and your good to go. Even though I made a vise, 99% of the time, I just hold the shell with my hand on the drill press. 3) Companies are now producing shells that anyone can buy off the shelf. When I started, you either rolled your own or if you were lucky enough to know someone that would load some for you, then you were set. Other than that, you did without. This is just my personal opinion so take it for what it is worth. If I did decide to buy my shells already loaded, when I found the shell that worked for me, I would go buy as many boxes as I could afford to buy. I have seen companies change components in there shells and it take a shell that is very lethal to one that I would be afraid to shoot skeet with. I would make sure that when I stocked up, that the sells I was buying were the same lot number as the shells I had patterned. I don't know if all the above is true with factory TSS, but I know first hand that it is true when I shot Hevi Shot years ago. [/QUOTE]
