2 1/2" spreader load wanted
 

I have a lot of 2.5" RST hulls, once fired and would like to load some spreaders. I cut an RST apart, it's the Dispersor X wad and what looks like Green Dot. Here is what I have

Cheddite Primers
Clays
Am. Select
Green Dot
Longshot
572
700X
Spreader X wad
Spreader X Short wad
X inserts
Other BPI wads on hand: Short range crusher, piston skeet, brush wad

I want 12g for clays mostly in the Parkers 7/8oz of shot is fine. The BPI data seems to all be pretty stout stuff and I can't find 2.5" data for what I have on the internet or on this site. Thanks in advance.

Andy here's a load I found in my notes,and I have it as tested by Precision.Maybe someone else can verify this.2 1/2 inch Fed Gold Medal or straight walled hull,18.2 grs Clays,DX12S, spreader wad,7/8 oz shot, 8600 PSI - 1270 FPS. The primer used is not listed. If I were to load this I would drop the powder charge to 16.5 - 17 grs. and use a ww209 primer.Maybe this gives you a place to start if want to get something retested.Use at your own risk.Jeff.

Andy, I load a lot of spreaders in 2 1/2" & 2 3/4". I'll PM you my recipes. I use the Dispersor-X wad and the X-Stream spreader insert, depending on the shell and load.

The X insert will take up the space of about 1/8 oz shot(but weighs less). I just drop my shot charge by 1/8 oz, and use the X insert in my favorite loads.

Thank you Jeff, Harold and Mike. Happy Easter!
