Thanks for the 600 info.
Lightest Alliant published ¾ oz is 15.4 of Unique 1200 fps & 8,200 PSI What I will probably do is load a box using that data then back off on the charge & run some over my chronograph, drop the velocity down to the level you recommend. Like to shoot some sub gauge SxS events, bought a nice condition Hunter Arms “Hunter Special” 28 inch IC & Full. Had the stock bent, fits nice. Only thing is it’s light, under 7 lbs, factory target loads are hotter than it needs. Get the 20 working well may be in the market for a Parker 20. Bill |

I'm using 20/28 powder at about 14.5gr with a 3/4oz load. 1150 fps and maybe 7000psi. I use this in damascuss barreled guns, light on the shoulder and hard on targets.

20-28 is a good recommendation. Good data for it out there. Problem today is getting what you need. Have some Unique on hand, it's hard to find too.

Mec 600 is on the way, now looking for powder and hulls. Wads easier looks like a lot of 3/4 loads use Clay buster's 0175-20 sound right ?

I use the claybuster wad and 20/28 powder. Hulls are RST 2 1/2 scrounged from various shooting venues.

I load 18 gr of 800x for my target loads, I use it in shells for registered shoots also. I was the only shooter to use SxS in the mi. state champ shoot in 2013, I shot SxS in 410 28 and finished fourth in both classes. I missed the 20 ga shoot on Thursday, couldn't get the day off. but a few weeks before I shot 94 in the 20 ga class at the ted Hannaford open, with a SxS . I don't win a lot , but I love the looks on the faces of the ones I beat

another good light load for a 20 is:
14 gr Green dot 3/4 oz Waa 20 or claybuster clone wad Win AA or Rem hull 1200fps approx. 9000 psi I use a cheerio to get a good crimp with a standard wad, but with Claybusters new3/4 oz 20 wad that isn't necessary. I will switch to 20/28 after I use up my Green dot,'cause I use 20/28 for my 7/8 oz 16 ga loads in RGL's. |
