Tested Loads

[Mark Garrett]

Had some 16ga loads tested by Tom Armburst .http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16251

Hope you find one or more useful.

Thanks Mark, I will file and probably use some of those loads in the near future. I have a couple hundred cheddite empties and a few pounds each of 7625 and PB.

Great , the PB and Sr7675 are nice mild loads and patterned and broke clays very good out of my guns.

I haven't shot the 7/8 oz Niceshot load yet. I didn't want waste the shot till I had it tested . The sd and ev aren't quit what I'd hope for but is go enough that I will pattern them with my Lefever, to see if they will be acceptable for close work on decoying ducks.

I plan on tweeking the 2 GD loads to see if can get a little more velocity and still keep it under 7000psi .

I will use the 14gr load the way it is in my Sumner Hammer Gun as it very light. Should be perfect for that.
