Reloading kit for 16 gauge pinfire shotgun shells

16-01.jpg (72358 octets)


How it works


IMG_3121.jpg (8962 octets)   IMG_3122.jpg (6959 octets)

In this shell, like in those devoted to pinfure handguns a threaded percussion cap holder is used. A massive piece of brass that can be used almost infinitely.


IMG_3893.jpg (25749 octets)


IMG_3894.jpg (6900 octets)      IMG_3895.jpg (7038 octets)

The basic kit is delivered with a long screw on which can be attached the cap holder. Slide a fresh cap between the jaws of the cap holder, with the cap's opening aligned with the small hole (pin hole) drilled in the holder.


16-02.jpg (55796 octets)

The inside bottom of the shell (left picture above) has a circular depression to accommodate the cap holder.


IMG_3897.jpg (14040 octets)

Using the long screw as a handle, place the cap holder into the seating area in the shell. Then rotate the screw until the pin hole of the holder becomes perfectly aligned with side hole of the shell.



IMG_3133.jpg (18493 octets)         IMG_3898.jpg (20566 octets)

Note, that the percussion cap MUST be flush with the holder. If it remains beyond the holder's edge, as shown above at the left, the holder pin hole, and the shell pin hole will never align perfectly, and you will have great difficulties to enter the firing pin (perhaps even it will be impossible).


IMG_3899.jpg (22018 octets)

Insert the firing pin through the shell hole into the hole of the cap holder, and drive it inside until its pointed extremity bears against the bottom of the cap.


IMG_3900.jpg (14800 octets)

Percussion cap and firing pin installed

The cap holder is now retained in the bottom of the shell by the firing pin. Unscrew the threaded rod from the cap holder, and fill the shell with the right quantity of black powder.


IMG_3906.jpg (19522 octets)

Using a specific measuring cup, pour about 4.00 - 4.50 grams of black powder (coarse to fine granulation - Fg to FFFg) into the shell.


IMG_3909.jpg (11737 octets)     IMG_3911.jpg (9118 octets)

When the powder is loaded, slide an intermediary wad (preferably of the greased type) inside of the shell, and drive it down, until it is just bearing against the powder (not compressing). Not air should remain between the powder and the wad.

Black powder comes in four granulations. Fg being the coarsest (slowest to burn), and FFFFg being the finest (fastest to burn). You will find the same grades under the following labels : 1Fg to 4fg or even 1F to 4F.

Warning ! From now on, a sufficient blow onto the pin can ignite the primer and the powder.


IMG_3914.jpg (18925 octets)

Now, that the intermediary wad has been placed above the powder, pour in about 28 grams of lead pellets of the size you desire. The upper level of the load must not go beyond the first set of sealing holes.

 

IMG_3915.jpg (17329 octets)     IMG_3917.jpg (12447 octets)

Insert now a thinner sealing wad above the load. Push it until reaching the level just below the two pairs of holes in the shell.


IMG_3919.jpg (12815 octets)   IMG_3920.jpg (18612 octets)

Insert two tooth picks through the sets of holes, in order to get a cross which will prevent that the sealing wad gets out of the shell. Cut the tooth picks flush with the external face of the shell.


16-03.jpg (35947 octets)

The shell overall length is about 2.579 inches

You have now a hunting shell ready to be used. Note that due to the high quality and thickness of the brass these shells are practically usable, if not for ever, at least for many shots.


IMG_3890.jpg (40547 octets)


IMG_3892.jpg (45805 octets)

Your are now ready for a pleasant hunting party, and the game, this time, will have more than a fair chance to go through. This is real sport.
