209 primers

[Harold Pickens]

You guys got me spooked. Stopped at local reloading supplier today and bought a few bricks of primers--maybe should have bought the whole sleeve. Also couple bags of shot and some 20 ga claybuster wads.

I was never overly big on 16 gauge loads with the SP-16 wad but Tuesday I took the 650 I just got in that pile of stuff SR4756 and some of those SP-16’s as well as the old AA style 16 gauge hulls and tried the load he used . They look pretty decent and didn’t feel bad shooting into the snail .

Craig;
Would you care to share you load with 4756? Do you have the specs on it as far as pressure? I've got a good quanity of 4756, which I used to use in a 7/8th oz. load in a 20 ga.

I used a #31 bushing (that’s what he had in the machine and claimed he used) with an ounce of shot the SP-16 a WIN 209 all scrunched in the old AA style 16 hulls . The #31 is “supposed to be 24.5 by the table” however we all know that may or may not be the case . The fellow that gave me the load claims 5300 PSI and 1150 FPS . I might go along with the velocity but the other I question . To be honest I’m just glad to have something I can use all those SP-16 wads in . May have to come up with a secondary powder to use as I think I’ve got 7 or 8 pounds total of 4756 . And I doubt that’s enough to get me thru 33 or so bags of wads .
