12ga 3.5 hulls

[a j cave]

Very little comes up on google, is there a demand for 3&1/2” hulls. Does anyone reload these? Some of the guys that hunt geese with use use some. (Us guys so not this year) I have used some 3” but have a bucket full Reloaded so won’t be doing any for a while. Just wondering thanks.

Not a lot of people reload steel shot, other than for some turkey loads, it is expensive, and with the investment in different tools and components for it, and time needed to do it, it's simpler to go buy it. Last time I looked, quite a while back, Hevishot was like 200.00/5lb up here, at 10-14 loads/lb, that's pricy. Plain steel is cheaper than Hevishot, but, not cheap enough to justify it.

Most hunting situations does not really require a 3.5" load. Maybe when you pass shooting the geese, but than again, a 10ga would be a better choice.
Reloading cost is another factor.
