The Super Crown Crimp Starteris designed to put a lasting crimp memory into new plastic, essential for tight and functional crimps on new hulls. The Super Crown also provides better crimps on once-fired hulls too. For more great load data and loading hints, click on the Curmudgeon and sign up for our weekly email updates and product specials.
Can I use mini shells in my shotgun?Well, honestly, absolutely perfectly. They run in my Benelli M4 and Mossberg 930 SPX without issue and are the first mini shells to do so. The MiniBuck loads run very well in pump-action shotguns too. They are a little longer but allow shooters to pack an extra round in their tubes on average.
Which shotgun shells are reloadable?Winchester AA and Remington STS hulls are the two most common, highest-quality hulls for reloading available today. They have brass heads and durable plastic cases that last for quite a few reloads.
What are Shorty shotgun shells for?Shorty shotgun ammo also recoils noticeably less than standard shells, allowing you to maintain control when shooting short-barreled, home-defense shotguns. Pellet count is less than standard shells, though velocities are similar. Shorty shotgun shells are great for defense training or personal-defense at short range.
Can you reload shot shotgun shells?Compression formed, one-piece hulls are the best for reloading. The base wad and plastic hull are all formed from one piece of plastic. The result is a base wad that will not deteriorate or slip from its position within the shell. These cases can be reloaded several times, usually until the crimp fails.
