Loading with Federal top gun hulls

What should I use for components to reload these hulls. I want to load a 1oz load using Hodgodn Perfect pattern powder what wad would work?

 

You are going to have trouble with PP and Top Gun hulls. The Top Gun hull has a lot of volume and PP is very dense powder. It will be better to use either AAHS or Rem STS or Nitro 27 hulls.

 

You will need cb6100 wads and you will have dished crimps.

 

Use a 1 oz wad and you won't have low crimps if the powder volume is low.

 

CB 6100 wad and a 20 ga card wad under.

 

I have experienced nothing but trouble with Top Gun hulls.

 

What difficulties have you experienced?? Hear this same message but What?? Stack up, bad crimps, find right wad??

They're honestly not worth dealing with. Even w/ the 6100, my crimps dished so bad they'd leak shot. The solution would be a Guilandi wad, but they are 2-3x the cost of a Claybuster. Plus the Fed hull uses quite a bit more powder. It's cheaper and easier to buy/scrounge Gun Club hulls instead.

 

Dished crimps. Primers not seating consistently. Wasn't worth trying to adjust the reloader umpteen times.

 

The older style hulls with the fiber wads worked great using the 6100 wad and a flake powder. The new hulls with the plastic basewad are truly no good for reloading using the 6100 wads. Perhaps you could make something happen with a 7/8 oz. had but haven't tried that.
