Hi,
I have read through the archives over the past year here, and there is some great information to be found. Would anyone have any information at all on reloading Size 7 and smaller steel shot. I would like to get a progressive reloader that will reload steel shot. Could anyonr reccomend a supplier for shot, wads and powder used for steel reloading? Also, a good reloading book for steel. Thanks a lot, Bowser. |

Is steel shot that small even made?
I thought steel bottomed out at around No. 4 pheasant/duck shot. Winchester would probably be your best bet for information on this subject, I would think. |

http://www.ballisticproducts.com
http://www.gamaliel.com http://www.precisionreloading.com These all have shotgun reloading components. #7 steel? If it is made,that'll hit about like #8.5 or 9 shot- not very great on clays, probably a bad wounder on doves unless you're close..... |

Gents,
thanks for the info. Where I shoot clays, we shoot over water, and by law have to shoot steel. Federal 12 gauge #7 Steel shot is sold at the club, but retails for $8 to $9 a box. It works great on the clays, especially for skeet. You just have to open up the choke one with the steel. FWIW, I have seen steel shot in size 8! By reloading I hope to get the price per box down to under $4. Thanks again, Bowser. |
