20 Gauge TSS

I need some more I think. I don’t know if I have enough




Look at how pretty those cheddite hulls roll with a geap roll crimper.



I’m meticulous to the point of fault. Out of at least 50 20 gauge, the weight difference from the heaviest to the lightest is only 4 grains. Of course, the wad, hull, fillers, all account for that but still. I consider that pretty uniform. I do what I can to make sure every one of those shells shoot the exact same. I don’t like surprises.

Asking for a jinx. I’d give 10 away to make sure.

Heck Yeah, that orta work!

Nice work!

Dang those look good!
Mine look like a squirrel chewed on the top

Mighty fine, keep up the good work!

How long does it take you to load that many?

I am glad to see those cheddites roll good. I bought some awhile back. I am using up the last of the fios I have

My 20 gauge shells look similar to the pic above. My 12 gauge shells look rough. I have a gaep crimper but I haven't tried it yet.

That would be a lifetime supply for me. In fact, if there is turkey hunting in heaven, and I'm not any more successful there than I am here, those would last a good bit into eternity for me.

You better run to the sto

Sell them to that bum in Florida that killed 30 birds. He would buy all of them. That would get him through one season

Will you ship them? I guess i could meet up if not.....

Yes yes, I will take on that bad juju as my own personal cross to bear. PM me for mailing address.

Max variation of 4 grains is dang good tolerance. For the uninitiated, that's 0.0091 ounces.

As meticulous as I am, about 3 hours. My process is very lengthy. I inspect every wad, trim the mold tag pieces on each wad, then build the wad columns. I also trim each 3” hull to the length that I want that will produce the best crimp for my liking. Not too much crimp and not too little. Then I weigh out the powder for each hull, drop the powder down in the hull and then insert a wad. Once every hull has been powdered and a wad installed, I weigh each hull and write it all down. Then I measure out the shot for each hull and drop the shot into the hull. I weigh again once all the shot has been added. Then I measure out the buffer, drop half in and vibrate. Then I drop the rest and vibrate again. I then weigh each shell again and record the weights. Then I roll crimp each shell in stages preventing the crimper from getting too hot. Then I do a final weight on each finished shell. This assures that each shell is the same and there aren’t any surprises. Others may have their own process, this is just the way I feel comfortable doing it and it’s worked well for 10 years of rolling my own. These shells shoot very good and they shoot the same in each 20 gauge gun I have. Each gun shoots the same load and the same constriction choke tube. I have my process for .410 and for 12 gauge as well. They are all just as consistent as my 20 gauge shells are. Starting out, I had issues with patterning and a few misses that shouldn’t have taken place. I really fine tuned my process and it helped tremendously. Maybe this will help others as well.

Taking extra care has made a difference with me as well. Little changes show up on target. I wouldn't shoot a commercial .410 load.

It seems like it takes me twice that long to do that many. I haven’t really figured out what matters and what doesn’t on the shotgun side, yet, like I have on the rifle side of reloading.

Sounds like a pretty good turkey hunter
