[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2769434, member: 48043"] A couple things here that haven't been mentioned... Steel is a rather fine/dense powder if I'm not mistaken. Fed shells do NOT like fine powders with their straight sides as they will allow powder migration into the wad and shot column. I'd use a flake powder if stuck on fed hulls... Rem and ww AA type hulls have a bit of taper that tends to keep fine powder where it belongs. As to primers... I see it here a lot where someone asks if older components are good. It tells me your primers are good that they are working in win hulls. I'm shooting both Cheddite and OLD white box Win 209 primers in my handloads... I've been burning a good bit of Longshot with a few other powders like WW Superlight also this last year in handloads. I'm out of spare hulls so I've got to shoot up a case for hulls when the weather breaks to play around a bit more. As to load data, I'd stay to pressure tested data. Shotty's are a bit different than rifles/ pistols. They usually have what my Pops calls a Hot component. You mix things around too much and more than one thing can act as a hot component and send your pressures up a good bit. I watched one lightweight auto come apart as the gent loading stuffed the same load into different hulls; basically whatever he had on hand. [/QUOTE]
