Shotshell powder recommendations


Recommended Posts

I have been loading some very nice 12g rto paper cases with pyrodex and fibre wads for my old hammer gun and am now wanting to do ssome nitro cartrigdes.

 

The paper cases are 65mm express ready primed - any recommedations for what powder to buy?

 

I have various fibre wads and shot sizes 4, 5, 6 and 9. Have been using a lee loadall to put the shot in and a old black powder measure to measure the powder but do have the various measures for the lea loadall. I will still be doing a rto closure

 

Looking forward to the benefit of your knowledge!

Regards

Graham

Depends what weight loads, for 24-28 gram you want Vectan AS and for 32gram you want Vectan A1.

 

These are the cheapest powders to reload with and they work well.

 

You really want to know what primers are in your cases and maybe change them if you can't get a recipe to suit or can't identify them.
