Alright, I've been bad again. Need info.

OK, I've done it again. I just bought a Guerini Sporter 12ga with a full set of Kolar AAA tubes.

1. Where is the cheapest place to get 28ga and .410 shells?

2. As I plan to get a loader for 28 gauge at some point, what hulls can be reloaded successfully. Estates? Magtech? Rio? Or do I need to stick to AAs and STSs?

Thinking about 28ga and .410 makes my wallet hurt already, and I don't even have the gun in my hands yet.

First of all, the manufacturers of tube sets advise not to use any steel based hulls. The steel based hulls not only have extraction issues, but in some cases can damage the tubes. So, it's AA, RTS or Gold Medal. I usually wait until there's a rebate on AAs and then stock up for a year. If it were me, I would get a loader, buy some new AAs from Shydas and load the hulls after burning up those pricy new shells. The RIOs and other steel based hulls work OK in regular guns, but not in tubes - something a lot of guys learn the hard way.

I'm with Blackthorne I wait untill there is a rebate. But if your in a pinch and don't want to drive to PA I recomend buying from Gamaliel

For 28 gauge Winchester AA is the only way to go,by far the best hull for reloading. The STS hulls have thin plastic and only last a couple of reloads. I've reloaded the AA as many as 15 times.

Thank you Gentlemen.

You may have to go back to work to feed the new tubes.

Never, Never going to happen!! However, my son will have a job soon and he can start paying me back for all the years of games and food.......in shells.

1 flat of AA 28 gauge shells equals how much time at home??

For the 21 yrs I have fed, clothed, fed, and fed him some more, I figure he owes me about 30,000 flats of shells in various gauges. And that's being conservative. Then there's the College tuition, the wear and tear on my nerves and heart...
The biggest payoff will be when I am vacant and drooling and he has to wheel me to the line, and even yell "pull" for me.
