2 1/2" 12 ga loads

[George "Scott" Davis]

Thanks everyone for your ideas on reloading 2 1/2 12 gauge shells. I modified a 12 gauge Hornady 366 to reload 2 1/2 shells. Using the following components:
RST 2 1/2 shells
Wads are either SRC 12ga wad or Claybuster CB6100-12
Lead will be 7/8 or 1 oz, mustly 7/8 oz
Remington STS Primers
Clays powder (still working on the grams going to be probably somewhere between 16.5-17.0)

I shot some yesterday with 17.0 grams and they absolutely crushed the targets.

George,

I think you meant 16.5 - 17.0 grains of powder. I think about 15.3 grains = one gram.

Nice sounding load. Enjoy shooting them and thanks for letting us know.
