fortune Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Before the 80>>82 series of powders there was the series 60>>62 series. I've still got a supply of 80 and 82 powders and the data sheet for loads but I'm not in the country for a week or two so not of much use to you i'm afraid. Got a couple of Bowmans also but tend to use mec 9000 for twelve in odd & heavy loadings and a sizemaster for 28 bore. As stated there are plenty of modern powders to use for the load that you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can either use the info and help by Cookoff above or when I get back into the country I'll se if I can remember to get the old load data out and tell you what goes with what if you follow.

sitsinhedges Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 And there was me willing to pay a thousand pound a pound Will be loading 1,1/8 shot , have bushes for 19,21,22,24,29 grains of powder with a plastic wad So you've got a load of old bushes for a powder that doesn't exist anymore Why don't you just get some Vectan A1 and start from scratch again. I use 23.5grains of that with a Z24 plastic wad for 32grams of shot and it is a superb cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
