Were do you source your mylar, yanks talk about using crisp bags?
Yes just cutting up strips of crisp bags. Its cheap and available. I just wash and dry first to get oil off it.
Making the 410 move up a few notches in performance

Checking the three wads i recovered they aren't rubbing through.

Here is a 27 gram, #9 shot 20 gauge at 50m and 70m on a 30" circle.

Testing 20 Gauge #9 to 70m.

As a rule, lead wads are not up to the job with harder shot types. You may well get away with it with smaller, more "fluid' shot sizes.
Thank you for clarifying it for me. Have you measured the weight or thickness of comparable wads to understand what differences there are in either wall thickness or density or written to B&P, Eley, Gamebore, GB , NSI or Winchester to confirm what you are saying?

You're not thinking of using TSS in lead wads I hope.
Today i recovered several B&P wad uaed in normal lead clay target cartidges that had been replaced with TSS 18 #9. None had the walls cut through. They looked like a normal lead wad after firing.
Could you clarify the issue with using the B&P wads?

55 yards is a long way using steel shot in a 20 bore in my experience. You must be a great duck hunter.

So who is using #11 or 1.5mm shot for ducks?
-
Well maybe I got lucky, but this TSS 20 gauge fox load ticks all the boxes.

How heavy is your 3kg of tss 😂😋
Its 3kg. But in a very small packet. Hard to believe until you go to pick it up.

Yes I've had the silver pigeon since new. Barrels are fine.

Well the 3kg of TSS arrived today. Its very heavy. I don't expect anybody to give me advice so I'll proceed cautiously. So far my calculations look good and I'm improvising on the other materials until they arrive from the USA - mylar and overshot cards. With a bit of luck I'll get the first tests down the range on Saturday.

Thanks Gas seal. I will not be mixing and matching my wads with loads. Looking at the different wads I've pulled apart it appears I have the CSD203 which by the way is the "one" recipe that is publicly listed by BPI. BPI specifically lists the CSD203 wad as suitable for lead and other non toxic shot. The others include Gualandi and B&P. With regards to the load charges for ultra heavy loads in the 20 gauge and smaller there are is no published data for the powders I can get down here for the ultra heavy loads but that's okay i'm not after much more than an ounce anyway as I'm not shooting turkeys at 70 yards.
-
Yes I am. I measured the thickness of the 20 gauge steel wads to be 0.67mm. I measured the thickness of the 20 gauge steel wads to be 0.67mm.
9 hours ago, Gas seal said:Hi loading data is available on Clay and Game website . It’s on the tungsten shot page. I use Mylar 125 or 190 microns and cut them so they over lap about 5 mm. When using more than one l keep the (joints) opposite each other. I use Mylar 125 microns when loading steel shot.
I have some mylar wraps coming so I can put them inside the wads. I can start with a couple overlapping. If the small TSS can cut through two layers of mylar and the wad in 28 inches then I'll use more.

Lol, all cows i say breed and slaughtered in the abattoirs got a 22 mag in the noggin. So I guess tgey were bred to get shot.

When people think of fox hunting with hounds some of them think of snobs.
I on the other hand have nightmares of Danny's ****.

Subaru forester is the pick of the bunch with 220mm ground clearance. If you need mud tyres, then get AT tires for winter. It will also be comfortable to drive and cheaper to run.

Melbourne Victoria, Australia. Our politicians got their cue from Jacinda Arden NZ. She got her cue from Wuhan, China. So where do Wales and Eire get their cue from? Victoria and so the rot starts. Lemmings have steely resolve compared to insipid politicians.
I forgot to mention Tier 5, because that also happened in my neighbourhood where 3000 people were locked up to 14 days in their rooms under police guard. I remember people telling me its terrible what the CCP is doing to people in Wuhan China, locking them in their apartments, I said China? I thought you were talking about what the Victorian Socialist government is doing in Flemington, Melbourne.
And just for the people that can't do economics. It would have cost the 28,000 people x 14 days quarantine x $2500 which is payment for staying home and food = $70M. But instead of offering tax free incentives and food to stay home and quarantine if you had a positive test, we decided to Tier 4 the entire state for a cost of $75 Billion.
You know it makes sense if you are the type of person who will not lose any income, classified as an essential worker who walks around with their "papers" and thinks money grows on trees.

The best modern sxs for the price I have used is a Fabarm Classis 12.
Ejectors
Single Trigger
Multi choke
Steel proofed with full choke
3" chambers
pistol grip
beaver tail
very strong action
nice graving
reasonable price.
The 20 bore is probably even more of a good thing.

I have just spent almost 5 months of Stage 4 almost like Tier 4 but slightly more restrictive. For example 6 million of us were confined to our houses for 23 hours per day. That was relaxed to 22 hours per day. A curfew was in place and if you were on the streets after 8pm you could be fined $1600. You were limited to 5km travel from your house. If you were outside the 5km zone you could be fined $1600. The army was brought in and all major arterials road blocked. Anybody without papers and outside the metro road block zone was fined $5000. Anybody on the street without a mask was fined $200. Anybody who was not an essential worker with permit, outside their house and not shopping or exercising for 1 hour was fined $1600. Contact was limited to one person outside the house hold. Meetings of more than two people from different households in or outside were fined $1600. Children were blocked from school and only education was via zoom.
So with 800 odd people dead with Covid with an average age of 83, no women dead under the age of 50 over 6 odd months the cost of furlough and lost businesses, 250 - 500,000 unemployed and cost to tax payers of the furlough scheme of $75 Billion the virus was down to zero for a population of 6.4 million.
However our maximum was 700 new cases per day. So based on that experience if you are expecting to get to zero cases per day and not overwhelm the health system and the starting base is over 20,000 per day then I'd expect everyone who is not a essential worker to be locked up for at least 12 + months for 23 hours per day even with the vaccine being rolled out.
Now a lot of virtue signally people will go on about taking one for the team, country, humanity but I can assure everyone, being locked up for 23 hours a day for 5 months will test anybodies nerve, especially if you lose your job, your business, your bankruptcy, screaming kids in an apartment who now have PTSD meanwhile the banks still want their mortgage repayments.
Good luck.

I'm guessing you don't know anyone working in the NHS , I'll be sure to tell my sister in law that all the sick patients with Covid they've been moving around just have the flu.
Firstly that picture looks photoshopped and second My cousin is a nurse on a covid ward in Scotland. However there is no way she'd want to swap positions when I was working underground as a miner in nickel and gold mines. So anybody who thinks that a nurse is the most dangerous occupation must have a job as a basket weaver.

Where is this population of 6.4 m ?
Victoria, Australia.
On 09/11/2020 at 22:13, Yellow Bear said:When is it going to sink in - the number of deaths is not the real issue it is the number of hospitalisations. As most of the "velnerable" are still taking precautions most of the circa 180k (This number is far higher than the "flu" numbers) hospitalisations so far are from the "sod the old let us get on with life" groups as this virus seems far more infectious.
It is to stop the hospitals being over whelmed by these cases, blocking other treatments that the actions have been taken.
Why worry about any other method of dying? We just blocked all other elective surgery and diagnosis for 5 months to ensure the empty hospital beds and furloughed nurses stayed that way. Its one thing to die of cancer but if you die of Covid that will make the front page of the news. Now people unable to see a specialist who have been diagnosed with a terminal disease are suing the government.

Thanks Gas seal. I have spent a few hours yesterday pulling apart my 20 gauge loads. I had Eley CT20 7.5 lead, NSI Plumbum 20 31gram #0 and GB 30 gram BB load. It was very revealing as filled up with the equivalent number of shot for a TSS loads of 7.5 with 18 grams, 24 grams and 28 grams to see how much space in the wad without mylar, spacers or buffer. It looks like with one mylar wrap I can get 28 grams of TSS 7.5 in the Eley wad without overfillng the wad and 24 grams in the NSI wad. The GB will be too big with about 36 grams in there assuming I keep the same powder charge of the factory components. Just waiting for my components to arrive in the next week or so. The GB loads have a 6mm gap before the split in the wad which would hold the TSS nicely compared to Eley at 3.5mm but there is a lot of space. One option I looked at was to use 18 grams of #7 TSS and fill the rest with steel shot to make the weight back up to 28 grams. That will be close but there might not be enough room like the Eley and the NSI to do the roll crimp. I guess I'll have to have to experiment more when I get the shot in my hands.
