2 1/2" Reloading

[Harry Collins]

Dave,

I loaded a few SpredR loads after cutting the hull down to 2 9/16". You are right, they look like a mangy dog. I am loading WWCF hulls, WW 209 primer, WW 16 wad, and 1 oz of shot. What is your 2 1/2" load?

Harry,

I use the Cheddite hull
Win. 209 primer
20.5 grains SR-7625
SG-16 wad
1 oz. shot,with 6 fold crimp
1150 fps @ 7400 psi

For 7/8 oz load drop powder down to 19.5 grains
Will give you 1200 fps @ 7400 psi


The 1 oz. load fits better in a 2-9/16" hull, but you can get it into a 2-1/2" hull with a little pressure on the wad.

Dave,

Thanks, that is just what I am looking for. I was loading Unique and have switched over to 20 grains on 7625. I have been using a 32 gauge card inside my wad to take up space.
