brass shotgun hulls

[Alberta Separatist 11]

does anyone reload these hulls in 2 & 1/2" chambered 28 gauge?

I've played with them in 12, and will be trying out 20 gauge this summer

do you use same powder and primers as you would using a plastic hull?

 

[3macs1]

No. They are different and take large pistol primers and black powder . Don't know of any data for smokeless powder
There is actually a manual sold by BP

Why do you need 2 1/2

I use smokeless powder and the proper size component's. Magtech also recommend's (say's right on the box) pistol primer's.

Some brass shells use shotgun primers but the more available Magtech shells use large pistol.

Hi
Can you share where you see the loading data published for smokeless powder and 28ga brass hulls
Cheers

Old gun,,, Black powder,,,,,, modern gun,,,,, smokeless. I don't think that you can use modern plastic wads in the brass hull as they will be to loose a fit.

Thought so. So untested data
To each their own but not for me especially with brass hulls
Stay safe

What model is it. Stevens don't show a 2 1/2 28ga smokeless just a 410 2 1/2 being made

Who keeps spent shotgun shells, I know a gravel pit where you can have thousands of them, you just need a shove and a rake, they are free

Lots of us stash them to the tune of 30,000 or more. But most of the gravel pit ones here are there because they are trash to reload and never do I see 28ga there

nothing marked on the shotgun, not even the gauge; just says Stevens, Chicopee Falls.
from researching I think its either a model 105 or 107
seen an old ad that showing the model ( around 1913 ) advertised for $ 9.50

have you tried a 28ga hull in it??
I will do more looking
105 and 107 are the same only 107 has the auto eject feature
made from 1910 to 1950
Only short chamber was a few early 16ga 2 9/16 don't show any 2 1/2 other than the 410
28ga says 2 3/4
Does it look like this

in the old print advertisement; 28 gauge and 410 bore specifically said 2&1/2" chambers

That's old time chambering. Post WWII or later sometime or other 2 3/4 inch came into modern usage with the 28.
Exactly when, I am unsure.

Some brass shells use shotgun primers but the more available Magtech shells use large pistol.

Myself I have Parker Brother 10 gauge brass hulls from TOW, they use large pistol primers too.
Got all of my Circle Fly wads and such, also from Track of the Wolf as well.
IIRC, the Rocky Mountain(?) brass hulls use the modern shotgun primer.
