wondering if there is someone out there that can help me use some old reloading supplies that I have aquired. Looking for recipes, if you are willing to share. I have:
vihtavuori and C-I-L primers
herters vandalee and Rem power piston wads
looking to use these in AA or Rem hulls 12ga
alcan air wedge, and bluestreak
I also have even older felt wads, but will probably not find any info on how to use them

Can you post some pics of the wads so I can see them. Power pistons will not be a problem but there was so many versions of some of the others you mentioned. The felts the only use I or any reloader I know will have for them now is fillers on some of my high speed steel shot loads and that depends on their size. No one uses felt wads for probally 30 years now.
And what AA hull are you using the old compression formed or the new HS, same on the remington what exact hull, STS, gun club etc. Are the cil primers 3b?? 4b??
 
CIL primers are 4BP
I have everything in hulls:
old: AA winchester western red and black
new: AA red and grey
old: RXP, peters/ new:gun clubs, nitro,premiere

As for picts of flet wads, give me a day or two
 
Yes, the herters are red. I also have a box of 20ga yellow.

I have been loading with 700x for years, but if I can get some recipes to use the odd stuff I have, I could easily use a different powder

I have all the old books back to the early 60's let me see what I can find.I think we used red dot back then with the herters but could be wrong. It was a long time ago. I don't think my books will have any cil primer loads in them however. Are they a short little primer when compared to a regular 209 but the same diameter.
 
most of the loads are written on the boxes that I got with the stuff, and were loaded with c-300 powder, which is obsolete. Anyway, here are some picts.

Damn it!!!, can't figure out how to upload my picts
 
3macs1, wondering if you were able to find any info on what I can use the Herter wads with? Maybe Vihtavuory primers? Just wondering before I go dump everything

Sorry. I went through the oldest shotshell reloading books I have and nothing is shown for the primers or wads.
Before you dump the lot give me a shipped price on the few felt spacers and cards I noted in the e-mail pics that I may be able to use in my steel shot reloads and I will buy them from you.Send me a pm with the price.take care

I have some CIL primers that are likely 50 years old and no idea how they were stored. All the ones I loaded functioned flawlessly.
