Shotgun reloading software is almost nil. Then a reloader could determine if the various hulls on hand would work. When you start to stack two or more, not.īack to not having the hull, my view coming from a lifetime of metallic reloading is that recipes could solve the hull issue by listing the H20 capacity of the hull, either grains or cubic centimeters. From the shooting I've done off and on over the years, a single 20-Gauge Nitro card between column wad and slug is a good thing, it has always shot better than without. I really scratch my head and wonder if Lee really shot any of these loads. It still would not solve the issues with the slug sitting in such a deep cup.
Lee does have a recipe for the WAA12F114 for a WinAA hull, but I don't have it. I could have bought about 150 rounds of the Lightfield Elite for what I have in this loading effort. I'm not sure what I will do with the components that haven't worked out, boy oh boy, I have a bunch of them.
Hopefully, that will do it as I'm not feeling like buying any more components. Next up is the 078 Lightning and PT1205 wads (7/8 ounce cup).
I remain convinced that the slug nose must be clear of the cup petals. It sure made a mess of the barrel, it was really leaded up. I loaded up four and two didn't reach the backstop. You can see the wad is missing all the pedals and the gas seal is damaged. In that, I waited this long I used 26.0-grains of International. Even It takes three Nitro cards to get the slug to the proper height. Had Ballistic Precision used an image of the package label I wouldn't have bought them as the cup is way too deep for the Lee slug. Very disappointed once opened as it is a replacement for the WAA12F114 which is a 1 1/8 ounce cup. Good luck with the loads and on the huntįedEx brought my next order which contained Claybusters SW250-12 Slug Wad. I rarely ever hunt anything but birds with the shotguns anymore but you never knowe. Looking forward to the report with the column wads and see if that makes a good difference. I'm going to cast some more slugs in the morning. I noticed that the BP loads listed a 6-star crimp specifically and I'm willing to bet that will be easier on the column wad petals. I've had a bottle of Clays sitting around here for years and never figured out what to use it with other than with my 218 Bee to replicate 22 LR performance.Īnother thing your reminder did for me will see me switch from the 8 to 6-segment star on my Load-All II. After seeing the Curmudgeon's load with Clays International, I called them a few minutes ago and added the PT1205 column wad. I'm a Ballistic Product customer, just ordered some things early this morning. What is interesting was that all column wads were within 6" of each other at 28 yards and just left of centerline. Not sure why the worn wad lost a petal, but all these were from pulled loads that I didn't want to shoot rather than a fresh hull. I picked up every wad and associated it with the shot. Before this, all wads have had at least one missing petal. Three shots were a marked improvement one was a bit of a flier that made it minute of ruler. I pondered this a bit, went back through a lot of bookmarks, and decided to trim the wad's petals to the meet the ogive of the slug. It is a thumper, but this is the minute of yardstick load I mentioned. I see 1485 FPS with my Marlin's 21" barrel. It shows a velocity of 1550 FPS but doesn't mention the barrel length. I'm using the 40-grains of HS6 from the slug mold instruction, not with the listed hull but with a Cheddite, I do have the discontinued Federal wad column (12S3). I've seen the BPI Loads in the past, but have forgotten about them. Figure you already know about this link, but others most likely don'tīut, this guy has forgotten more than he knew! I've been chasing this for years off and on depending on drawing results.
