deershooter Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Use Vectan AS Between 19-20 grains but not more with 28 grams of shot Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr smith Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 What if any current carts are C/F? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Current cartridges are not compression formed only early American Winchester AA they stopped making them about 10 yeas ago the machinery was too expensive to replace and they went on to parallel tube cases Post a picture of your cases that you want to load also where did you get them ?

ChrisAsh Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 28 grams for a 28 bore, bit over the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBooEH Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Slightly off topic I know, but I've shot most of the Pheasant season with a 28 bore this year... I fancied a little more of a challenge away from the normal 12 to 20 bore downsizing scenario! The BP handbook lists a cracking load of 32 grains Lil Gun under 7/8 oz shot in a plastic wad doing some 1540 fps. Using nickel plated Italian 6 (UK 5) shot from Siarm, I've had some absolutely cracking shots... 50 birds in total to the 28 bore before I changed back to the 12 bore (and fibre wad!) for the late season challenges. A write up on BP states that the 28 has become mighty (and loud)... and it wasn't until I was pegged next to an old barn and the echo came back and hit me that I realised just how loud (as fellow guns and beaters had been commenting on all season)!!! Verify load data against the manuals before use. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sorry misunderstood this the op did not make it clear that it was 28 gauge I read it as 28 gram my mistake Do not use 19-20 grains of AS THIS IS A 12 bore load Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
