Tedward Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hi All, Anybody reloading their own, using a proven recipe for the above ? If you would like to share, it would be very much appreciated - normal safety disclaimers accepted. I'm looking for a full list of compatible components. Ideally sourced in UK or from Siarm. If the breech pressures or velocity are known, that would be a bonus. But any field proven loads will be more than acceptable. I appreciate that what is safe in one gun, may not be acceptable in another, and intend to reduce the initial charge and work up the load in my own gun. Many thanks for any help offered, cheers, Tedward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"reduced powder charges !" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedward Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Many thanks for the helpful advice cookoff013, I have previous experience in reloading for rifles, where this is common practice. Obviously I have a lot to learn in this new venture - books on order ! (And I did originally ask for a "proven recipe") Have contacted the other gentlemen who have replied. cheers, Tedward.

Guest cookoff013 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 rifle / reloading is for accuracy at X yards. shotguns are about chucking buckets of shot into an area. there is no working up etc. also there are no pressure signs, full stop. the hull is a piece of plastic, it has no pressure memory, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Rifle reloading and shot shell is quite different. Don't substitute and don't work up, only use good published data with pressure listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
