I saw this on another forum and figured I'd document the steps of the loading process. This is a general technique I was taught by a few fellas on here, I did not create these recipes or process and I am simply documenting the process I was shown as well as the tools used to help anyone in future. I'd like to thank Hawglips, Basser69, 3Toe, and Squeaky for their instruction and helping me with all my questions.

Firstly you need shell components and shot each recipe will call for slightly different components so I will not get into component or load specifics. I ordered most components And tools from BPI or precision reloading.


Also, you will need a few tools. All of which will cost about 100$
ReLoading scale
Hull vice
Roll crimp die
Drill (preferably a drill press)
Powder trickler
Buffer dipper/scoop
Shell holder (this I made from a 1x6 and drilled 10 holes to fit a 20ga hull)
5/8" dowel cut to 2-3/8" length with screw in one end

First you need to prepare your wads. In this case one piece of cork and 2 pieces of felt.

I pushed these down and packed them with the screw on my dowel.


Next I rolled up a Mylar (not all loads will call for this) and placed it in the wad and worked it down snug between the felt and the wad until flush with the wad.



I was shown for this particular load to trim the hulls, not all recipes may call for this. Place the dowel into the hull with screw sticking out.(you may need to take a little sand paper to dowel so it fits in hull better) and trim Hull with razor or exacto knife.

Once you get all the wads and hulls prepared you are ready to move on to putting the shells together.

Weigh powder

Put into hull and tamp down.


And place wad into hull ontop of powder. (some loads might call for a gas seal on top of powder before the wad)

Pack down wad to create a good seal onto powder.

Next you will measure shot and buffer if needed.

Add to wad already packed down in hull on powder.

add overshot card and viabrate or tamp down

Now you are ready to roll crimp, place in hull vice on drill press.

Turn on drill and slowly apply pressure to hull melting/crimping it down onto overshot card. You want to be able to shake shells and not hear shot moving around.

Last, label the shell with a pen, I used fingernail polish to seal shells.



Thank you to everyone who advised me on this process, again it is not my process just sharing some great knowledge some great guys here shared with me! If anyone has anything to add to make the process easier please Feel free to add your wisdom.

I've never used mylar. Does the mylar go all the way to the bottom of the wad?

The mylar keeps the shot from scoring the barrel. You need to use it.

What he said! Between the Mylar and the wad your barrel is safe

The load I've loaded didn't call for it is the only reason I've never used it.

Well done Rob!!

I know a guy that invented a recipe for one that uses a really thick wad instead of Mylar. It's super hot too. It did fine in my gun but another buddy tried it and it blew the plastic part of the hull out the end of his barrel.
Maybe just a tad over pressure lol

Yeah but I'm not sure that I trust them. I feel better with Mylar. I kinda figured out that on Tommy's loads that as long as the gun is still functional after it goes off that he just calls it good. He's not terribly concerned about keeping it under SAAMI I wouldn't think that barrel life would be his greatest concern either smile
Has anybody else created a vp90 recipe?

From what I hear there is alot of turkey hunters that take this approach to shot shells. If the gun don't blow up its good.

I'd feel better shooting Tommy's loads than Nitros though
