Cemeterys Gun Blob 165 Posted January 11, 2019 Any place in North Jersey that sells shotshells by the case, and not gouging by selling that case per 'box'? Looking for Fiocchi low brass target 12 guage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So in the case of Fiocchi 2 3/4" shells would the indicator be 'low recoil' or 'light'? I didn't see the keyword 'low' anywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally, but not necessarily. When people are looking for low brass, they usually mean low recoil. That said, what really matters is the velocity and the amount of shot and you can have normal brass shells that are relatively anemic. The powder and charge are contained in the brass, so it's difficult to make a really hot shell with low brass. I suspect if you looked hard enough, you could find low brass shells that have more felt recoil than other shells with much higher brass but all that said, you'd probably have to look pretty hard.

Looking for Fiocchi low brass target 12 guage. It's been some time, but I have bought cases of shells at Dicks. I don't shop there any longer. I know that Gander mountain in Middletown has it, or did a few years ago when I last visited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,848 Posted January 12, 2019 Are we possibly referring to the actual 'height' of the brass base of the shot shell? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Low brass used to mean weak shell for target shooting, it doesn't really any longer with more advanced powders and different load outs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,848 Posted January 12, 2019 OK. Read the Beretta 101 and now I get the drift. Thanks for the education. So... as soon as I get the hand gun stuff down I can start up on shotgun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,848 Posted January 12, 2019 Gee this may be too complicated for me. All my .45 ACP brass looks the same! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W2MC 1,699 Posted January 12, 2019 Its simple. You can tell the difference between 230 grain hardball vs 185 grain semi wads, right? Same sort of thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W2MC 1,699 Posted January 12, 2019 Oh and .45 brass is NOT all the same. There's some out there that take small pistol primers, for example Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot 358 Posted January 12, 2019 If you’re a member of North Jersey Target Clay Club, you can order cases of shot shells and/or reloading supplies from their clay supplier from PA. Prices were pretty reasonable since there are Fudds there who shoot through cases each week. Have to pick up early on a Saturday or Sunday though when the delivery truck arrives at the club.

Yes, they have deliveries maybe 4-6 times a year. Whenever they are getting a semi truckload of clay pigeons, members can place an order for shells, and reloading components other than powder or primers. The next delivery is Jan 20 (it's always on a Sunday, at 7 am), but orders had to be in a few days ago. Geiser Guns in PA is the supplier. I've got a price list from this past summer that shows Fiocchi Shooting Dynamics 12 ga target loads for $54.95/case. No delivery fee or tax. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
