Alcan Components...
« on: May 12, 2013, 12:36:37 PM »
What are PGS and FBS that are listed with much of the old 10 guage reloading data that I have...

And, can these components still be purchased, or are there substitutes?...

Thanks...BCB

PGS - Plastic Gas Seal - can be replaced with a Nitro card wad
FBS - Feltan BlueStreak - Fiber filler wads in various heights. Can be replaced with any fiber filler wad (except they won't have a daub of blue on the end ::) ).
Wads can be purchased from Circle Fly. (circlefly.com).

Thanks .45 Colt...

I was looking to reload some 10 gauge hulls and the data is mostly older stuff that requires the wads I mentioned...

Might check out Circle Fly...

Thanks again...BCB
