Thanks for the load information Scott. Is that one of the Sherman Bell loads?? Sounds like a good Goose load with some #2 ITX. I was at a local gunsmith a few weeks ago and he had a pile of SP10 wads on the floor by the door. Well, I walked away with 6 bags for $15...I am set for a couple of years.

| Scott, do you have any velocity and pressure numbers on your 1 1/2 oz roll crimp load? Is that with 35 gr also? Thanks, George

| hi, the chart said 7600 psi at around the same fps 1221 , i just look at the 1 1/4 load with the same powder charge as the 1 1/2 oz load and split the differance. the 1 1/4 loads is 1220 fps at 5600 psi. the crimp is a little low so 1 3/8 oz is a perfict crimp. scott

Nice bird Scott! I hear that Bob is a turkey-huntin' wizard (but he calls out sick a lot). He has sent me several pictures of friends (with their longbeards) he has taken out for turkeys this spring. He should become a registered NH guide and make a few bucks at it (too late Dave, you had your chance  )
