Are you going to reload 2 1/2 inch or 2 3/4 inch shells? It can make a difference in what press you use.

Strictly 2-1/2 low pressure loads. The press is set up for 16ga, 2-3/4 so I have to get the 2-1/2 set up. But I need to decide on the powder first.

Are you sure it can be adapted for the shorter shell? IMR 7625, Galandi wad, Win 209 primer and a Chedditte hull. The RST hulls are wonderfull to reload and I scrounge them at every shoot I go to. If you want some let me know as I can spare a few hundred.

Yes, no problem doing that. Just buy the part. What kind of pressure you get out of that recepie? I'll let you know about the hulls, thanks.

I think its 1100 FPS and 6500PSI. I can check to make sure but I have used this load for years.

6500.... sweet...

Here' a nice table for that IMR 7625
Never mind, the link did'nt take but I got a few good low pressure formulas.

I just went and checked (thats two trips to the other side of the house and down the steps to the basement in two posts...whew). the 1oz load is 1150 FPS and 7400PSI the 7/8 oz is 1200 FPS and the pressure stays at 7400PSI. This is a very nice load esp the 7/8oz. In my English hammer gun the is no noticable recoil and the lifter likes it also. Very nice to shoot and will flat crush a target IF you do your job:whistle:

Yeah, I'm sticking with the 7/8 oz. loads for now. I hope to bust a lot of clays:whistle:

Daryl Coruna has been talking very positively on the use of 3/4 oz loads. I know he using them in his 20 and 12 loads but not sure with the 16 yet. I'm going to try them in a 2 3/4" 20ga load. I can crank them out on a Mec 9000:)
