16 gauge RST

[Mark Garrett]

gman,

The sg16 wad will work fine in the 2 1/2 hull for a 7/8 load . I have loaded several thousand of them with no problems . The dr16 wad is a great for 3/4 oz loads in a 2 1/2 " hull but it can be tricky to load 7/8 oz with that wad in the short hulls.

Eric;
Give the 3/4oz. load a try. I promise you you won't be able to tell the difference in performance between that and the 7/8oz. loads and with the cost of lead nowadays it's a win/win. Good luck.

I have been loading the RST hulls with 7/8 oz with the SG short wads and 7625 and they crimp up well. JH

SR7625 is a great powder, love the smell. I use it my 7/8oz loads also . 19.5g also makes a great 1oz using the sg16s wad in the 2 1/2 cheddite hull.

Mark - so you use the 19.5g on the 7/8 or the 1 oz?
Thanks

For the 1 oz load I use a Fed 209a primer . Its a light load, it will however cycle my A5s
