Bismuth Duck Loads

[Eric Johanen]

Kirk, so the final load spec's are: Cheddite 2.5 hull, Cheddite primer, Precision Tuwz2m15 wad, 25.0 grains of Long Shot, 1&1/8th oz. of Bismuth shot, no buffer for average 1180 fps @ 6200 psi? Is this with a roll or fold crimp? Sounds like a very useful load for vintage short chamber guns. Thank's for the work up and having it tested.

Yes. That's it Eric. The average velocity is 1171 and pressure is 5880. But that one that I guess I under charged brought the pressure down a bit. I spoke to Keith at precision. He said it worked well that he wouldn't hesitate to shoot that load He told me if I wanted to bump it up to a solid 1200 fps to go up 1/2 a grain. He said it should only up the pressure about 300 psi. I only shot 2 rounds because it's expensive to shoot at skeet, just so you will know the pressures registered where 5380 for that slow one. 5700,5750,6120,6130 and 6200. I loaded 2 boxes last night. I put them anywhere from 25gn to 25.3. They were six star crimp. I guess that's how you say it. Anyway hope this works well for all. Let me know how you liked it.
