turbo33 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have yet to get a difinitive answer to this one so heres hoping its here (probably already been done). Example. A 30g load of no.6 and a 32g load of no.6. in 12g. Does the the 32g load have more: 1) shot 2) powder 3) both. Does case length have any bearing on the above? A mate and I were chatting about it at the weekend and whilst we had seen lots of information on this topic, niether of us new the answer!!

Guest topshot_2k Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) powder and cartridge length will vary depending on manufacturer. Some 32g will be 65/67mm some 70mm same with 30g etc 32g of #6 will contain more shot than 30g #6 Edited July 19, 2010 by topshot_2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 All depends on the make of cartridge, the speed of the load etc. but the weight designation is for the load. i'm not 100% sure on the powder, but i'd assume that a faster cartridge would have a bit more powder.

Paul223 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) don't forget there are different types of powder with differing burn rates hence the reason why some costly clay carts can push along at near 1450 fps and have less felt recoil than cheapos at 1350fps, both pushing 28 grams Edited July 19, 2010 by Paul223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cartridge containing 32gm of shot will have more than a cartridge containing 30gm of shot. 6's are the size of shot in the cartridge and as for the powder well i think it's measured in oz's, like a 1oz load for example...

An oz of powder would go with a boom! Live and learn eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
