36gms steel shot in a 3inch 12 bore.


Recommended Posts

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.

how on earth does that work?

why dont you ask for a decent load and load "that" decent load.

 

also dont even bother "reducing the initial charge" then work up. it aint rocket science. all you need is a recipe containing gauge, hull,primer, powder, powder amount, wad, shot weight / shotsize / crimp type, speed, pressure. follow it.

 

also why would you "work it up" that makes very little sense. i`m sure the gentlemen here will help you. do not mess around !

 

i friend of mine recently wasted a day on the marshes, he had 5 failed to fire cartridges, and ended up rodding out his gun every time. "reduced powder charges !"

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.

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,
