    This link has left me none the wiser? 

     

    They're talking about a load thats never been tested?

    3 Fed 0.090 Intergral BW 1 1/4 Steel 1,355 Fed 209A Steel Precision Reloading TUPRW123 33 10,500 1/2 inch felt spacer under shot
    3 Fed 0.090 Intergral BW 1 1/4 Steel 1,370 Fed 209A Steel Ballistic Products #3221230 33 10,500 1/2 inch felt spacer under shot
    3 Fed 0.090 Intergral BW 1 1/4 Steel 1,435 Fed 209A Steel Reloading Specialities 12 ga 3" 37 10,800 1/2 inch felt spacer under shot

     

     

    Alliant have these on their site.

     

    The last one looks interesting/good. But I cant seem to find the "Reloading Specialities 12 ga 3" " wad.....

  2. Hi All, 

     

    Getting back into some reloading after re-joining the wildfowling club now I have time to get back out again.

     

    I used to use the following

    76mm case, 36 grains Alliant Steel, Vagner VP70 wad with 3mm cork, 32g no3 with 3mm cork on the end. 1458fps.

     

    Can I use this load with a BB fill or do I really need to stick to the suggested 3,5mm (#3 shot).

     

    If not does anyone have an Alliant steel 3" (76mm) recipe I could use with BB shot?

  3. I had exactly the same yesterday. Freshly drilled field I could shoot..... well over 200 birds on it.... had only shot there once or twice before so I thought I'd put the birds downwind and see where they returned...none came back and I had sat there a good 45 minutes. I walked over the other side to find them on the stubble next door.. put them up again and they moved further off... in the end I set the decoys up in the sun with a prayer they would return. I only shot 3 birds in 2 hours and they were just unlucky nosey birds.

     

    It appears at the moment you either need to get rope bangers downwind to keep sending the birds back up, or to just not bother going out!

  4. Interesting.....

    I just found this load data, and wanted to revive this thread:

     

    70mm Case.

    CX2000 primer.

    17grain Vectan AS

    4mm Over Powder Card.

    20mm Diana Fibre.

    32gm #4 lead shot.

    Star crimp.

    Its listed as being 940fps (@ 2.5mtr) 402 bar. 5830PSI?

     

    I have been loading a similar load but I use 16 grains of Vectan AS with 28grams of shot.... and have to add a 3mm fibre slice to pad it out.

     

    Is 32 grams with AS not too much?? Has anyone got any experience of this load? or know of its source?

  5. I need a stirrup pump for my airgun, does anyone have one to sell?

    I live in Suffolk, but I am travelling to Nottingham the weekend if that helps with collection. Failing that I can pay for postage.

     

    PM me if you have one to sell!

  6. Hi,

    I am trying to get hold of some Alliant steel powder, and I am struggling.

     

    Does anyone know anywhere that has some in stock. Preferably around Suffolk.

    If not, does anyone have some spare to sell?

     

     

    Thanks in advance.
