16 load info

[ch]

Good point Dave we need to know what the F size they loaded with in the day. But if we use 1f powder anything but Swiss it should be at the bottom end of speed. Has anybody cronagraphed 2 3/4 drams 1f Black 7/8 oz of shot 16 guage. I'm not intrested in Pyrodex. I'm trying to see if my load is close to the load in "The small bore shotgun by Parker Bros". ch

Although your load is not on the chart, the chart would extrapolate at about 1230 for your load. The truth is that you don't need to go to a 2 3/4 dram equivalent with 7/8 ounce loads. You are better to go back to about 2 1/4 dram equivalent to achieve a better balanced load unless you are going for the gold. If you are going for the gold, in other words box pigeons or high ducks, you would be better advised to add to your shot load rather than your powder.
