Harold:
I have one recipe that seems to work. And when I find one that works, I stay with it. This is it: Win AA or Rem STS case 14 grs. Alliant Extra Lite powder (MEC Bushing #27) Win 209 or Fiocchi 209 primer Claybuster CB0175-12 wad (pink) 3/4 oz. of No. 8 shot According to Claybuster data (included with the wads), this load is 1220 fps. I tried No. 8.5 shot to get a few more pellets, but preferred the No. 8 for some reason. Best, Kensal |

Mine is any Remington hull, 16.4grs of Promo [ same as Red Dot ] , CB-0175 wad, Cheddite primer, and the shot. Clay Dot, Extra Lite, Or Red Dot all give low pressue for 15 to 17 grains. I believe Clays and Clay Dot are the same and Red Dot and Promo are the same. Paul

Thanks guys for the info. I am new to reloading and loaded up some 7/8 oz 16 ga. loads this weekend using DR 16 wad and green dot. I haven't got to shoot any yet. I was given 2 MEC 600 jr's , a 16 and a twelve, and need to get the necessary components for the 12. I have a Ugartechea 12 sxs under 7 lbs. and also a Francotte 12-also under 7--this would make them much more enjoyable to shoot. Don't have any Parker 12s, but do have a DHE 16,VH 16, and a VH 20. I have a thin face and recoil seems to hit me right on the cheek bone--these loads sound great for that.

Kensal,
Mec bushing chart shows the #27 bushing yielding 15.8 gr X-lite not 14. Are these bushings actually off that much? Maybe I will have to get a scale-- chart shows #23 bushing@ 13.7 gr. and #24 @ 14.4 gr Extra-lite. |

Harold:
A scale is always an important accessory. Ne, necessity. As I recall, however, MEC bushings always throw light charges (lawyers) so I generally weigh the charge and go with the recommended weight... whatever bushing provides it. Try both and see what the charges weigh for you. Best to be safe! Best, Kensal |

Harold, it could also be the way the gun fits you. But a light load always will feel better. The new digital scales have come down in price to around $30 and are fast and nice to use. I couldn't live without mine. An adjustable charge bar is also nice. Good luck - Paul
