The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Hi all my name is pete and i have just joined. I am from Birmingham UK not USA

I all ready do shot guns and clays, i cant afford to do formal shoots but i do occasionally buy a walking rough shooting day. I have also this year started PSG as well and i own a black powder weapon as well. looking at redoing my FAC once again after a considerable gap in owning it,

but for now i have joined to learn more on shotgun reloading and black powder reloading and workings. which is where i am looking at , at the moment. i reload 12g and .410, with the .419 i want to remachine .303 brass to take shotgun primers to keep that legal. I also want to learn about primers and their selection and choices. as well as powder mixtures and why they are so different. I dont want to make powder or to muck about with reloading data but i do want to learn why it works in the way it does.

as for the name well i allways liked a big one and now i want to have a bigger bang for my buck, hahah
On the distant horizon is the NCAGB and UKPSG and after that possibly the rifle section and hand gun section too

Reading a good handloading book like the Lyman 50th edition would be an excellent starting point for you, then use forums like this to delve into and try and answers any specifics

Welcome bigger bang

i have all the present printed documents on reloading shotguns as well as the older stuff as a library as well. but very very little has ever been writen on reloading brass its all writen with a basic plastic hull as the cartridge

"but i do want to learn why it works in the way it does." This what a good Handloading manual will explain.
