I think I may have confused some. I use an empty 28 ga. and 32 ga. to hold the shot. I pour the measured shot into the 28ga hull and slide a 32 ga hull over the top and press the 2 together.

My powder is in a flask.

For waterfowl hunting I use 12ga and 16ga hulls to hold the shot. I use different color 12 ga hulls for the different shot, i.e. Fiocchi 12ga orange with a Rem 16ga hull for #2 bismuth, Rem Gold STS 12 ga with a Rem 16ga for BBB steel, and Peters blue 12 ga with Rem 16ga for #1 steel.

I found that the speed loaders don't hold the proper amount of shot as the shot size gets larger.

Grab a hand full of desired shot and off I go. Save the empties and reload at home.
