Does anyone reload shotshells. I am going to start since the price continues to go up. I aquired two reloaders from my Uncle Steve. They were another relatives that had passed years ago when Steve received them. However the one I would like to use is set up for 20ga, and I only shoot 12ga.
I am trying to find a 12ga die set for a Hornady/Pacific 155. This product is discontinued and no parts are available. This one is in great shape, and I would like to bring it back for my use. The other reloader I got was a Pacific Dl-105. I think it is set up for 12ga though. |

You will know if it is set up for 12 gage by putting an empty case in it. I asume it has a crimper and it is able to remove primers and seat them. You get a chance put a pictuer on. What type of shooting do you do. I use 1oz1/8 of copper 7 for almost all birds and trap shooting. Know what power you want to use. Makes a difference. |

I reload pistol and rifle but not shotgun.
That said ebay is the best source for old out of production reloading gear. Will |

I put an empty case in the DL105. It will crimp, but the final die makes it more like a roll than a crimp. I called my uncle and he is checking for any other dies. I will post pics later.

Here are the picture of them. My uncle called back. He did not find any extra dies, but did find another reloader (model 250) and is sending it to me.

I can't tell if there is a station to seat a new primer but that was a good loader. You push the silver bar from one station for power and the next to the other for shot. You would need a scale to see the amount of shot and powder each side loads/ unless it is marked on the bar. There won't be a pretty roll on the close of the case but if you aren't using an auto or a pump works great.

Its hard to see in the bottom picture, but they both have five stations. There is one on the back left to push out the primer. Then the front left installs the new one. In the slide bar there are powder and shot bushings that you change for load size. I only have pumps. I remember helping my uncle reload with these reloaders when I was young, and that the crimp would have to be fixed once in a while. |

tjpreul that pacific press has a deprime and reprime station. the 1st station deprimes and resizes the brass. the 2nd station seats the primer and drops the powder. the 3rd station you install the wad and drop the shot. the 4th station starts the crimp. the 5th station finishes the crimp. got any questions call me 314-803-8554. ive been reloading shot shells for 40 yrs.
rich p.s. dont hesitate to call. i could come over and help. im only 1 hr away. |
