Shotgun Reloading
I have some Fed 209 primers but can't find any recipes for them in my Lyman Shotshell Reloading Manual. There are several recipes that use Fed 209A. Is the Fed 209 primer useable on recipes that call for Fed 209A primers?
Also, I purchased 500 once fired Remington Hulls (20 gauge) from Midway that want fit into my shotgun. All my reloaded AA 20 gauge hulls work fine. Any ideas about this?
Thanks.

RE: Shotgun Reloading
I threw my Remington hulls away years ago. AA's just work great. I have found all other hulls for skeet shooting to be inconsistent. IMO consistency is the key for any reloading, especially shotgun reloading. Especially if you are using any type of shotgun other than a stack barrel. Stack barrel's will usually shoot anything. Tom.

RE: Shotgun Reloading
For the Remington hulls, put them through a resizer and they should fit in your chamber without a problem. They're probably formed to whatever gun they were shot in.
As for the primers, the 209A is probably "hotter" but I bet you could find enough recipes in the older Lyman's manuals.

The 209A primers are hotter than the 209's. It depends on the shot shell that you are building. If it is a light load than the 209 primers whould work. Load a few and give them a try. If they are heavier loads with more powder then get the 209A's.

I remember this guy from Vincennes University when I was there, we both went through the Conservation Law Enforcement program. He has been doing some great research at BR.

resize them seperate from your MEC resizer, then just use your MEC to decap them.

RE: Shotgun Reloading
AA Hulls are the best
i used to load a 1 once hot load for secound season.
using Hercules powder and 7 1/2 shot, man would it smoke em
with the price of reloading componets now,how much does it cost to reload per box of shells?
I have considered getting a 600jr to reload 410s they are over 10 a box now
