Stack height issue with 3/4ounce 12 gauge loads
Quote from TomVanAllen on August 17, 2024, 6:14 pmIn a recent podcast with Tom Gresham, Joel Hodgdon left the window wide open to bringing back the Grand shotshell progressive reloader now that Hodgdon owns RCBS.
EDIT:
As a side note, Dillon should have tried to convert a 1050 frame over to a shotgun reloader.
A 650 sized toolhead is just way too cramped, in my opinion, to be a shotgun reloader. There is not enough room up top to make adjustments to the dies. And some dies have 1.8 gazillion threads to the inch, so being able to swing a wrench an eighth of a turn at a time takes forever.

Quote from The Human Manual on August 19, 2024, 4:01 pmIf your crimps are pushing up like in the photo, something in your hull/powder charge/wad/shot volume is incompatible. If I had to guess, the lower cushion portion of the wad is being so compressed it is pushing back afterwards. First suggestion is to try a different wad. This has nothing to do with the loader, but trying to squish too much stuff in small of a space.
