Hey guys,
I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking competetion lately and have not had much time to shoot. However I have been checking in to see what's going on and hope to get shooting more soon. Anyway...

I just picked up an 8ga single shot shotgun and ordered the components to reload it. I'm using new primed Rem 8ga black industrial hulls which I think have an extra band of metal near the rim so I'll either have to modify the base near the rim or 'clean' the chamber ever so slightly to accomidate the hulls because original 8ga hulls are BIG bucks IF you can find them. I also picked up some 8ga plastic wads, nitro cards, over shot cards, case vise, and a roll crimper. The hulls come primed and I don't know if they are Fed 209 primers, but a 209 will fit when I need to pop them out.
Enough of the background info and down to the questions:
1) Where can I get some reloading info on 8ga shot shells? I called the powder mfgrs and they flatly said 'no data'.
2) Is there a group that shoots & reloads 8ga shotshells so I can get some info from them? England possibly I've heard?
3) Do you know of anyone, heard of anyone, or possibly have an inclination of someone that shoots/reloads an 8ga that might be able to help me with info?

Thanks,
BMG

ps. I'm going to post this on the reloading & shotgun boards also, thanks.

Bmg, where did you get your reloading components for that monster? Thanks.

Any help on the load info?

I'm still looking, I'll let you know. Rocky mountain cartridge or something like that makes new brass hulls but I can't remember how much they are.

BMG,
This forum is an English one I think with info on the big shotguns they still load over there.

Start with an 8 ga/bore search.
'Alan Meyers' is a name that gets thrown around a bit on the forum as well.

Hope you find what you need.
