Remington Peters 28g hulls

[Andrew Sacco]

I was given a big bunch of these by a patient of mine (500 or so). My 12 year old wants to shoot and has a Savage Stevens 555 24" 28 g on the way and I want to bring her to Mikes to shoot clays, but can't find a low recoil load on line for 28g for this hull. Looks to be a separate plastic base wad not one piece compression formed. I can toss them if needed. ANY help at all appreciated.

Andy,
Check out the Alliant website below. I use and prefer 20/28 but there are a number of loads you could use. If the 3/4oz loads are too much for your child just reduce the payload to 5/8oz.

Thank you Daryl, so I assume I load them same as the Remington STS even though it doesn't appear to be a one piece hull? Sorry, I'm still new to this.

Andy,
Can you post a photo of exactly which hull you have? Best to ID it from that to make sure which loading you should try.

[Andrew Sacco]

I'll try to post a photo tonight with the hull cut away or off. Thank you.

All my 28 loads are pushed with Unique or Universal .

Not saying they're necissarily lite but they roll targets and quail up well enough .

I use old AA hulls new HS AA hulls and Remington STS hulls .

[Andrew Sacco]

These are the hulls I was given. Looks like a black plastic base wad and the tube does look tapered. If I can't use them I can't use them.

I’d look at the loads for the other hulls and try two of these to see if all the stuff will fit , might even drop back a grain of powder . If they closed okay I’d try them down thru the woods or across a skeet field . Preferably over a Chrony shooting for 1100 FPS .

Andy,
Being a ribbed hull, those are the "SP" bodies, not "STS". Just follow the published recipes for the "SP" hull. There is not much internal volume difference, but I recommend strictly following the recipe for whichever propellant/primer/wad combination you are going to use.

The 28 gauge load I use for low recoil contain my standard target load throw of Unique and my "heavy" .410 load of shot, just over 1/2 ounce. Add whatever it takes to fill the shell and give a good crimp. This would be a bean of the correct volume or a .410 card wad, in my case. The lesser pressure of the light shot load will probably equalize the velocity of both loads. In the world of component scarcity, I may start loading this light load as my everyday 28 gauge load. These loads sound good, break birds well, and recoil way less than a factory 28 gauge target load.

Thank you Bill.
