Ammo??

[Victor Vaquero]

So in the mean time till I get my reloading stuff. What brands of ammo/ vendor(45LC&Shotgun) should I buy? How much do I need for a match? I have brass that can be reloaded anyone out there does it commercially?
I was thinking of using brass shotgun shells cause they look cool What brand and what do I need to reload these?

Hi Victor,

Here are some sources for you.

TENX will do reloading for you.

Deadeye has good leads there!
TenX is proably the closest of those to you, of those three.  I recollect they are in Northern CA somewheres.
I would recommend (unless you have NO free time) getting a metallic reloading set up, as soon as you have spare empty brass.

As far as shotgun brass shells, most Pards here use Magtech.

If you use a double barrel shotgun I'd suggest Remington Shotgun Shells. They a slick and drop out easier than any other shell I've tried. I normally buy the Heavy Dove Load by the case.

Like Shotgun Franklin, I use double barreled guns (Stoeger and TTN).  In my case the Remington ammo I purchased didn't work reliably in either gun.  Hard primers I was told by a couple of gunsmiths.  I've had other brands of shells not work well in my guns that I have seen work very nicely in others.

Currently I am using Winchester with a brass (not silver) base.

In a nutshell what you need to do is try different brands and see what works best in YOUR gun.
