hahaha i love gun related school projects everyone in or near my school wants to call the cops if u draw a gun for your art project lol. did they give u a hard time about this?
Great video man, hope you got an A+! I'm actually glad you didn't use the auto loader for the powder and shot... doing it manually showed what was going on more clearly.
This looks to be a MEC reloader. The charge bar looks to be an adjustable but why it is not used with the bottles of shot and powder I can only guess. There are much better videos out that that show how a MEC should work. This would take too much time as this is not automated a it could have been.
Well, first of all, no one produces 16-gauges anymore. But if you really want 16-gauge shells, I was at Meijer(I think it was Meijer) the other day and 16-gauge shells were on sale. You might check local dealers.
Actually they are still produced, they are just a major bitch to find... i think Browning makes 2 of their models in 16 gauge still. Not sure why no one loves the 16 gauge :( its such a nice gun to shoot.
Well I think the main reason is that whatever you want to accomplish with a 16-gauge you can accomplish just as well with a 20- or 12-gauge. I've never actually used one myself.
It depends on what you shoot, and how much you shoot. If you're shooting heavy handgun loads, like .44, .45, or .357, and you shoot then a lot, you'll save tons of money. On the other hand, if you only shoot a few time a year, its probably not worth it.
You can load anything you want into shotgun shells. I know a guy who loaded popcorn kernels into his, so he could scare some dogs away from his yard without killing them.
I only needed to reload one shell for the demo video. I didn't even use real powder or primer, since when I do reload, I take most of an afternoon and reload several hundred at once.
Good for you son, doing this for a school project. How much does this cost to get all of the equipment and to reload shells? I really love my shotgun, but it costs a bit to shoot.
It really depends on what you're looking for, hunting or trap, and how heavy a load you want. If you give me some specifics, I'll get you the information.
not every powder takes the same weighing, it's all about the specs o the powder you're using. Even the primer is different with the powder you're using... so the best thing to do is to ask your retailer to tell you some measurements, for the powder vs shoot.
Hunterman, most powder cans will have some simple suggestions on the jug, plus there are about a million and one reloading manuals out there for sale
And to the poster, love your choice of topic for speech class, that's awesome

why didn't you just use the auto loader on the press? wouldn't that have been easier than pouring it in yourself?

Yes, it would have been, but this was a speech project video, with a certain time requirement. Fast was not the first thing on my mind (:

instead of using that plastic wad could someone use like cotton balls?
trooperx666 2 years ago
No. The cotton ball would catch fire, to say the least. Just use the plastic wads, they're like 12 dollars for several hundred.
BobStickman 2 years ago
lol ok man , but wouldent that be something .. a flaming cotton ball

you could use wooden dowel and cut it fit if you really cant find plastic or fibre wad
