Default 16 ga 2 1/2" Loads

These came from the spreadsheets.

Thank you very much for sharing that Harold. Mark

I have found some load data over on the 24hourcampfire site but nothing like you are showing there Harold. Is that a spreadsheet you've put together?

I do that 1oz Longshot load in a Cheddite (used RST) hull and I like it a lot. I have seen Longshot available recently at Midway off and on.

I would add that most of those are frustratingly irrelevant due to components, velocity or pressure parameters. But there are some good starting points.

Aaron, yes I have that spreadsheet, plus there was a separate Low Pressure spreadsheet where you can click on the powder and all the recipes will come up, also a 20 ga spreadsheet. I need to try and put them up here as you did for all to see, I find them invaluable.

This is very helpful and much appreciated. I am wanting to specifically reload RST/Cheddite hulls and primers. I will just have to be patient and willing to pay for the powder and wads for the low pressure loads. At least I know what to look for!!

Aaron, thanks for sharing that. It is a shame they have quit making the 7625.

It is a shame, but I have found universal, green dot and unique workable alternatives. Universal takes up a similar volume of the hull to 7625. The remaining small bit of 7625 I have will probably get used for bismuth loads.

Hello all, am I correct that I can roll crimp any of these 2.5" 16ga loads? My understanding is that roll crimps produce less pressure than fold crimps so any of these should be safe to roll crimp?
