12ga. 5/8 load
This probably falls under a "wildcat" load, but given what it is I felt safe trying it. It worked so well when I tried it today I thought I would share it(I'll say it just to be safe...use at your own risk):
5/8oz.(actual weight - .662oz of #9s) using the 5/8 charge bar for a Mec Jr.
BP/Gualandi Rex - 24 wad(didn't need any filler wad/card)
2 1/2 Cheddite hull
Cheddite Primer
14 grains of Red Dot
I was shooting the 12ga. #1 frame damascus gh in the picture that is choked IM/IM. I worked my way around the clays course and kept hitting targets. There was only 1 target I couldn't hit and I didn't hit with 1oz. of shot out of a 16 gauge either.
I normally don't use #9s, but with a 5/8 load I though more pellets might be good. I made some longer shots I wouldn't have thought possible. I am going to load up a few hundred of these. I might try some in #8.5 shot.
If someone will tell me or point me to thread with instructions, I would gladly send these out for a pressure test and post the results.
This was pleasure to shoot and as you can imagine not much recoil at all.
