Loads for paper hulls

[Steve Havener]

Here is a load from Lyman's Shotshell Handbook first edition.


"Use with Federal Plastic and Paper Cases Only"
1 1/8th oz shot, 25.5 grains SR 7625, Federal 209 primer, one Federal .135 (nitro card) two Federal 3/8" fiber cushiond, 6,700 LUP, 1160 F.P.S..

Should fit nicely in a 2 5/8th inch hull with a roll crimp but if the wad column is too tall you can easily split the fiber cushion to get the proper wad column height. If you cant find Federal 209 primers I think you will be able to get by with a Federal 209A primers by reducing the powder charge by 2 or 3 grains.
