Title: Reloading 3" shotgun shells
Post by: king on November 26, 2010, 07:11:35 PM: Has anyone reloaded a heavy 3" load? I have a ponsess-warren reloader and have several different 2 3/4 loads but I am having a hard time getting the right wad/shell combination. The powder always leaks past the wad. Any information would be appreciated. Preferrably a 1 1/2 oz or heavier load

I've never had any problems with remington hulls & wads.
