Re: Help loading an 8 bore shotgun

I placed a large order with Precision. They had a memorial day sale and I made the $300 level for $30 discount. I ordered plastic hulls and wads for both 8 GA and 10GA. Both plastic shot wads and felt and over shot and over powder wads. A pound of blue dot. I may have to see for my self how bad the black powder melts the plastic hulls. I will start with smokeless. The 8 GA barrel has just enough minor pitting that might make cleaning more of a chore. I may revisit the brass cases later.

As initially posted, Precision looks like a good way to start with smokeless and one stop shopping. I had a long conversation with Wayne on the phone. Very helpful. He pointed out an error I made in measuring the 10ga chamber. That was a major error on my part. We also ID the chamber types, one paper, other brass. I never posted on the 10 because I assumed it was a simple gun to load. And it is. But a little knowledge goes a long way.

Thank you to everyone who posted. Now, if I could find a 4 gauge.
