PB

edgarspencer · 03-01-2024, 02:52 PM

Breaking one of my own rules, I loaned an old manual to a friend, who now "can't find it'.
I'm nearing the end of my stash of 7625, which was the only powder I used in 16ga Cheddite, 2 1/2", 7/8oz loading, but have enough PB for the foreseeable future.
If you have a good PB 16ga load, using SG16 wads, could you share it with me?

I have been trying 572, in place of 20/28 in both 20ga and 28ga, but find it pretty dirty.

Do you by chance have SR4756 in any abundance ? When I got the overabundance of the WIN AA type 16 gauge hulls I got a bunch of 4756 in the deal which was what this fellow used and it worked darn well . Also used the SP-16 wad in his instructions .

What recipe do you have using 4756?

I've got an unopened 5lb can and a half pound already opened. I used 4756 on my 20ga 7/8oz loads for years until 20/28 came out. Might have to experiment.

ahem. Back to that PB, of which I have 2 Five pounders. It was perfect in low pressure 20 and 12, so there's gotta be a sweet spot for 16 too. I've never needed to try 4756 in the past. I'll keep that card in my back pocket for now.

Edgar, I have a 28g load for PB too if you're interested. Very soft shooting.
