Guest cookoff013 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 looks like you are having colum hight isues .the ones that have dipped in is ether a short powder or shot drop or the wad and packing is wrong yup, what wad are you using? the hulls and powder types are different from european loads. european powders are very low density to fill up the hull. the recipe sounds fine, as a light load. are you using fibre? cook.

duke5339 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi Cook, the components all came from Henry kranks. 5mm over powder cards 18mm fibre wads 17.5 grains reddot and 30g of no 6 shot. I was advised that if I put a card disc over the shot this helps with the crimp, what do you think? Thanks Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 i wouldn even bother with the over shot card, more expence, not needed. are you absolutely dead set on 30g? first i just chewed through aload of reddot data. i would use a minimum of 19grains with fibre and will still be "well in" safe pressures. thats with 32g shot too. i would in future use 4mm powdercard, and 20mm fibre wad. it should fit alot better. i use those same components for 32g /28g /and 24g fibre loads. (with the 24g loads i use 2x powder cards.) i dont use reddot, although it has a great range. are you weighing your drops or are you using a chart? cook.

Guest cookoff013 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) as an alternate load, use cheddite 70mm case 20 grain reddot, 2x powdercard 18mm fibre 28grams (1oz) lead shot crimp it may fit better? i`m just throwing that out there...

duke5339 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Hi Cook, thanks for the info I will try a few with your specs. What I am looking for is a cart that has a good range that can be used for clays and woodies. The reason I am using reddot is that was listed on the junior lee load-all. Prob just need to practice some more. Thanks Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 dont bother using the powder charts, they are nearly always wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
