Nothing wrong with the reloaded shells, Franc, dropped right in the gun and the gun closed easily, as I say, a change to Fiocci 209s cured the problem completely.
I loaded my first shotshell 55 years ago, a varnished paper Eley Grand Prix empty, 32 gr Greenbat powder, 2 felt wads, 1oz #6 shot, rolled turnover. Lovely patterns. Love the smell of the Eley varnish.
These were once fired 12 ga Federal Gold Medal paper hulls cut down.
JDW, thank you, thank you, I have said for years that the Fiocchi 209 primers are larger in diameter than Fed/Win 209 and have been shouted down and called an idiot, too.
Yes, now if I try to reload those hulls with Win 209s they will fall out as the primer hole is too big.
Fortunately I have a large quantity of Fiocci 209s and stock up every time I see them at gun shows.
