one light load for all my hulls?
« on: April 10, 2007, 08:39:32 PM »
I am loading AA hulls, mec #31 = 17.9 g.  red dot, win pink sl wads, 1oz #9 shot, win 209 ---- my question is it safe to use this same load in my rem. nitro 27hulls, all american hulls, black game load hulls, and green sport hulls. by my manual the only thing I am substituting is the win primer, they list rem or cci. I have tryed this and all seams well, but I just want conformation this is safe! I figured since these are light loads switching primers would be ok.

I use the same recipe for my AA hulls and Remington 8 point crimp hulls (gun clubs and STS). I also substitute Cheddite primers for the Winchester primers since the Winchesters are way more expensive and sometimes not available. I could not speak to the other hulls you mentioned. Interchanging components in shotgun loads is riskier than in rifle loads.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

Hodgdon has Steel data for the hulls you mention.

On the 19th of April, 1775, a tyrannical government sent an army to disarm its citizens. They ran into a touch of trouble.

I would stick to the load data. You should find a suitable load for all those hulls using Redot. If the primer was different in the data, I would  buy different primers. I interchange AA hulls, with Remington Gun Clubs, STS, ot Nitro, using the identical load, with no problems, as they are basically the same hull construction. The other hulls you mention I am not sure of.
