In the book I have with WIN hulls and the SP-8 wad he has no loads using Blue Dot . But I don't think the powders the issue or some wouldn't set off correctly and others not . I suppose I could get a roll crimper thing and try that but I don't really want to do that .


I've got the grass cut etc so other than a couple auction items my weekend is wide open so I just might get this stuff ironed out . Then I need to get a scope on top a Mannlicher Schoenauer MC rifle length 06 I bought to rob the triggers . Might set this one up with several factory loads to carry out for Damage Control when I use the 8 gauge from a ground blind . Or I might carry my 6mm-06 that's never been blooded . Anyway I need to get some stuff straight before Tuesday evening .

If you don't mind saying what charge weight and powder weights with SP-8 wads ?

Okay just loaded a pair of the slugs with International Clays as well as filling the bottom cavity with wax and a nitro card in the bottom of the shot cup for proper height . Also loaded two more with sixteen 00 buck pellets and buffer again with International Clays . All four are in brand new unfired hulls with WIN 209’s . They look nice but let’s see if they boom correctly

Well all four went off as one would like . The slugs however were kinda low and the left barrel of buck I think I pulled it a bit left off the box . I’m going to take the four once fired and try slugs in them again two for the left and two for the right . Then I’m going to load two new hulls with sixteen 0 buck pellets and try them . Below is the 00 at 30 yards 14 of the 16 pellets are on the box all be it a little left and a little low .

The lone slug that hit paper just now and it tells me nothing since I have no idea where the other three went .

And the two with 0 buck at thirty yards .
