I've got 1000 of these that I just picked up in a trade and I'd like to use them if possible. I'm using 12 gauge 2 3/4" AA hulls and I've been told that "Reloading For Shotgunners" 4th edition has some data, any help? Any ideas where I can find this book?

Kend, Lefteris has got you covered, for the T-42s in AA hulls!

"Reloading For Shotgunners" 4th edition is a MUST HAVE for those who reload for shotgun!

I appreciate the help guys but 1 1/2 oz. is more than I want to load. I'm going to see if anybody wants to swap these for some AA wads.

kend, the T-42 is for 1 1/2 - 1 5/8 oz. loads and more.

VERY HEAVY METAL!

I don't think they make the T-42s any more.... so for someone who wants to (or might want to) load real heavy loads sometime..... these might be a good swap for WAA12s (which will be available until the sun stops burning)!

Kend,
If you decide to keep the wads, you can reduce their capacity using 16 or 20 gauge filler wads (whatever size is appropriate, I do not have any wads to measure). And ask Ballistic Products about recipes. It seems they have reloading data for almost everything.
