I've got about 12 pounds of 700X but haven't seen any Alliant Extra Lite in quite some time. I'll keep my eye out for some RST hulls but don't know if they ever find there way up here to Alaska.

Marty,

If you'd like to try to load some 12 gauge 2 1/2 inch RST's, I have some extra empty hulls that I would be happy to send to you up there in the hinter lands of Alaska. I'll also give you some of my CB6100-12 wads you can use with your 700X to create some 0.75 ounce loads. (See my recipe above.)
Send me a PM with your address. Hulls deprimed of their fired primers should go fine in the US Mail. I'll pay the postage to get them to you.

Marty, the easy way is to roll crimp. It takes a 1/4" less shell for the crimp. Other than buying a roll crimper from Precision Reloading and some overshot cards you'll just have to shorten the shells. The roll crimpers from PRing are the cheapest and work better.

Anyone have data for 2.5" Gamebore Pure Gold hulls? I believe they are Cheddite, looking for something less than 7000 psi.

A vintage hand cranked roll crimper will make factory like crimps. Here are some 20 gauge turkey loads I spun tonight with a French roll crimper. 12 gauge crimpers are common on eBay. Gil

I've been roll crimping for 10 and 16 gauge loads and have the PR roll crimper for 12 gauge. I had planed on roll crimping most of my loads. I use quite a few stacked card wad loads also so can adjust some loads to fit. It's nice to have some good date from which to work. Thanks for all the suggestions.
