8 ga pyrodex loads
been raining here so decided to load up a few black powder substute loads. i looked up a black powder load it used a 110 grains of black..this would be a pretty stout load.. i cut the the load to 50 grains of pyrodex ..i used the winchester clear hull win.209 primer 3 1/2 inch fiber wads 1 1/2 ounce of bb shot 1/8 inch over shot wad and roll crimped... i shot 2 of these loads in the old mills 8 ga parker..report of sound was good ..recoil was very very low..good on the old gun stock and easy on the shoulder..will be a good squirl load...only thing if iuts raining like it was here when i shot these 2 shells it will be hard to see the squirl fall beause of so much smoke... im headed back out to load up a box ... charlie
