Any TSS 28ga handloaders in South Florida?

HartClemson99 · Post by **HartClemson99** » March 9th, 2016, 6:02 am

Made it to South Florida to guide and then hunt, brought the majority of my handloading gear to load shells and realized last night my role crimp tool is missing. If anyone has one they can loan me for a day, I'm willing to drive to keep me from missing a day of hunting with my 28ga.

I'm staying Lakeport and hunting near Palmdale.

Thanks!

Could you glue your overshot card in and not crimp, like GLS is doing with the brass .410 shells? IF you cannot find a crimper.

I'm in S Fl, but negative on the 28ga, only 20ga.

I think if you hand trimmed an OSC slightly over sized and jammed it down into the mouth of the hull with a dowel of close diameter would help. Glue or even dripped candle wax over the osc would secure it further. I wouldn't load a second or third shot with one of these rounds if you are shooting an auto or pump and I would handle the round carefully. To be clear, the mouth of the hull would remain open. Good idea, Alpha. Gil

I would use some type of glue as first choice, but over sized osc is critical. Candle wax would be brittle, but would work, especially beeswax which is softer. I saw a fellow on youtube using beeswax to secure shot in a reload using a bit of rag as an osc. It was a "prepper" video. Gil

Say, if you do try it and it works, please post up. I may quit rolling my crimps and load one at a time as my roll crimping is very inconsistent with the .410.

AB, ugly crimps work fine. Gil

Thinking Elmer's Glue or Super Glue?

At best you will get with glue is a mechanical bond. You don't want a reactive glue that chemically bonds as that could soften the hull. I would scruff up with medium grit sandpaper the inside of the hull where the osc will fit. Load shell, cram oversized (slightly) OSC card into the hull with a dowel that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the hull and use Elmer's Glue. Cycling such loaded shells might flex the hull and dump the TSS out. I'd load it by hand in the chamber and close it up manually and not load any more shells in the gun. Gil

I have one in Plant City Fl. Not sure how far away you are but you are welcome to come use it.

Thank you! I ordered one from BP and I'm them FedEx it. I'm going to try to get away with glue tonight and hope FedEx shows up in the morning.

Only a 2.5 he drive, I would do it.

If you'd had been a day earlier I could have help you. Sorry. Where you hunting and how long you going to be here? I just saw Palmdale you're only about an hour from my house. Public WMA? Chief

Gents, thanks for the advice. I got mine sent in the mail and using Super Glue. It worked like a charm!

Man, that is good to know! Necessity is the mother of invention, but turkey hunting be the baby daddy!

Right on! I could do this with my dads ruger red label!

Would be fun to kill a gobbler with it!

Hope you kill a stud with that 28 Jason!
