Default Powder Woes

My powder woes have been eliminated !

Still have about 6 or 7 pounds of SR7625 for the 10 gauge .

Have several pounds of W296/H110 for the 410 .

And now I have 24 pounds of Universal Clays for the 12, 16 , 20 and 28 !

Might pick up 8 of Unique and 8 of Green Dot in the next month or so just for the heck of it !

Sounds pretty good. I just bought 8lbs of 700x and a buddy of mine has another 8lb jug he wants to sell me. I wish I would have been around reloading shotshells when Imr 7625 was still available. Thats some LP stuff. I would have bought about 40lbs. lol

See you in the field!

You are correct about the 7625 , if I'd had my wits about me at the time I should have bought every 8 pounder I could get !

I think the one I have now I got from one of our distributers for $160-170 . Someone just last week sold an 8 pounder on this website for I think it was $275 .

SUPPOSEDLY Hogdon has brought out a ball powder called W572 that's supposed to be a close replacement for 7625 , once I can get some from my distributers I'll give it a try and if it does as well as the claims I'm hearing I'll have to lay in two 8 pounders for my 10's . Seems the majority of my loading these days is for the short 10's anyway !

I just started shotshell reloading. Loaded for my 45 ACP for a few years and just bought a AH Fox Sxs and am hooked. These are the first off my press. Going to try them tomorrow at the local range. 2 1/2 12 gauge with 700x. 7/8 shot. image.jpg.

Those look real nice. Maybe you can find a Parker 10ga and load 2 7/8" shells - then you'd be having more fun than that little Fox.

It looks like it's closer to 4756 than 7625. Looks like to me a good 10 gauge powder.

Green Dot, Blue Dot, and Unique are all good powders for the 10ga at reasonable pressures.

Hurco is a powder with a burn rate close to 4756 - just a thought.

Came across some WSL and Super Handicap this morning and picked up a few pounds. I haven't used ball powders in years. Would anyone would care to share the pros or cons of these powders. They are supposed to meter well but I have heard that the powder sometimes migrates past the wad.
