14 ga loading data

[Tom Hawkins]

If you want to fill the case it can be done. I shoot my three 14's with 12 gauge plastic wads. Bill Murphy said sometime back that a 12 ga. plastic wad would work in thin wall 14 brass and it does. I use an old powder dipper with Trail Boss Powder (takes up more room in the case and is very close to the same mass as BP). It is low pressure and effective. I drop the shot with a MEC 12 guage loader. The overwad is 13 ga. I use the crimp starter on the MEC to seat the top wad. I shoot 1 and 1 1/8 oz. loads. Hope this helps.
