Hi Edgar plus,
I sent some test loads out to Tom Armbrust a couple weeks ago that are
similar to what you've loaded above and you and the other guys may be interested in how they performed.
*
2 3/4" Remington Gun Club hull, 0.70 ounces of #8's, Rem STS209 primer, 14.3 grains of 20/28 using a CB1075-20 wad:
1244 fps, 8520 psi average.
(0.70 ounces is about 21 BB's shy of 0.750 ounces of #8 shot.)
* I also sent him some
0.7 ounce #8 loads in RST 2 1/2" hulls as follows: Win 209 primer; 14.3 gns of 20/20 in that CB1075-20 wad =
1224 fps, 7680 psi, average.
I also sent him some of my
20 gauge 1/2 ounce loads in case anyone is interested in the light stuff.
* 20 gauge,
2 3/4" Rem Gun Club hull, 1/2 oz #8's, Rem 209 primer, 12.8 gns of 20/28 in a CB1075-20 wad with a 0.510"dia x 0.140" thick card wad in the bottom =
1183 fps, 4140 psi, avg.
* 20 ga.
2 1/2" RST hull, 1/2 oz #8's, Win 209 primer, 12.8 gns 20/28, CB1075-20 wad with that 0.510 " card wad in the bottom =
1138 fps, 4580 psi, avg.
(I get those 0.510" x 0.140" card wads from Craig Smith, Circle Fly Wads.)
For anyone interested in loading some light
1/2 ounce 12's in 2 3/4 and 2 1/2 inch hulls, I've had those tested too. I've been loading and shooting them for more than 5 years. Light and Sweet. Around 1300+ fps and 5000 psi average.
PM me or maybe start a new thread.
