Precision Reloading as well. They use different numbers on the wads but are great to work with. Kevin will help you get the load you want.

I've been thinking about a similar question for a pile of 2 1/2" Vintager hulls that I want to reload. I learned from this thread that they are Cheddite hulls and I can tell that they use the BP Piston Skeet wads. The shot charge is 24 grams with a folded crimp. I'm still trying to figure out the powder or what i could use with good results.
The powder charge is 20.5 grains of a dark gray small flake powder. It resembles Bullseye in flake size but is darker and more uniform in color. It is also just a tad darker than Power Pistol. (I know that I can't identify a powder just by appearance but I can sure eliminate a lot of them). I have a Ballistic Products recipe sheet for 2 1/2" "English" loads and their Bullseye 3/4 oz recipe uses more than 20.5 grains of Bullseye and their 7/8 oz load uses a little less so Bullseye looks like a promising candidate but they use Fiocchi hulls and a different wad. I am still new to shot shell reloading but have been reloading rifle and pistol ammo for 30" years so I do know enough to not just start stuffing the hulls with whatever's handy. Can anyone tell me what small flake powders look like Bullseye but are darker? Can anyone suggest an alternate powder that would work for a low pressure load with my components? I have plenty of Clays and Universal Clays on hand. Thanks for your advice Jim |

Jim, When you are mentioning 24 grams I assume you are talking about 12 gauge loads. Correct?

Jim, Clays can be loaded down to a low pressure load. I myself use IMR PB or IMR SR7625. Also I use Remington and Winchester hull so hopefully someone else will chime in here for load data using Cheddite hulls.

I think PB is one that might work. I have used it before for 2 3/4" loads in Winchester hulls. I may give it a try.
Thank! Jim |

Cross Referencing GU 1222 1225 wads
Anyone know how to cross reference GU 1222 and GU 1225 wads with those available from BP or Precision?
Would like to use Dave Miles nice 2.5 inch loads but need the wads/ a cross reference to those BP and Precision have....or ? |

It's my understanding that Graff's isn't going to carry Gulandi wads anymore. You can get them from Ballistic Products. I'm quite sure this is the same wad, though I haven't ordered any myself. It's their CS12 Comp Special 12ga wad. This is the same as the GU-1222 http://www.ballisticproducts.com/CS1...tinfo/072CS12/ |
