Forget the reamer & order from Polywad, RST or similar. It will last you a lifetime.

Yeah, roll your own. 0.318" - 0.321" bullet are plentiful just determine which your solid projectile tube fancies most.

I was looking at just getting 16ga hulls and trimming to 2 9/16. But I don't think my load-all will do that length (or 2.5" either). So it seems like kind of a toss-up, between the cost of a reamer (which I could recoup much of I think) or the cost of a whole new shotgun press (rather than just a 16ga conversion kit).

I guess that's kind of silly of me, considering what I paid for the gun, but a penny saved and all that. Heh.

Does your advice stem from a desire to not alter the gun, or just from an ease-of-doing thing?

Thanks!
