reloading 16 ga
 

Any recommendations using these hulls for a low pressure load?
Powder? primer? wad? My original Trojan was lengthened to 2 3/4.
Thanks :)

If you should decide what wad you want I may be able to help you out . I have four different 16 gauge wads and darn near a case of each . The WIN WAA16 , the Claybuster knockoffs of the WIN wad in both 1 ounce and 7/8 ounce as well as over a case of REM SP-16 wads .

I buy those Fiocchi hulls as NPEs from BPI. They publish plenty of loads. I use their SG-16 was, and a powder no longer available, so my recipe won't help you but my 2.5", 7/8 oz loads are delightful. Years ago, I had them tested using 7625, and PB is virtually the same at about 6700psi.

Those are nice factory loads for fluid steel barrels, I like them, but generally shoot 7/8 and 3/4 oz reloads. Luckily have appropriate powders., what powder is available for you?

For what it’s worth, the last time I tried reloading Fiocchi hulls, several primers separated from the hull. The fit was not tight enough. The hulls were 12 gauge.

If you are shooting them thru a Trojan witn 2 3/4" chambers, I wouldn't worry about the pressure. If your worried about recoil, the pressure does not enter into the equation.
I do have the 16 ga forum low pressure loads info on my home computer and will look up the Fiocchi info.

I really appreciate the helpful responses. I have the Claybuster CB0100-16 wads and Win 572 and Hogdon Perfect Pattern on hand and Win 209 primers. I have Cheddite 209 primers and Longshot on order. So whatever works :)
It's a puzzle when many options are out of stock or discontinued.
Thanks in advance,

Clarke, I find no loads listed in my spreadsheet for Win 572 or Perfect Pattern, but the spreadsheets are about ten years old. There are some for Longshot ( often called Loudshot, but never loaded it.
Wondering if I can send this file to your email, if you send me your email by pm, I can try. I also have some printed off that I will also try to take a picture of and post here.

I have a big file of all different hulls, powder, primers, and wads marked low pressure that I can send to your email.
Here are some other loads I had printed.
