sitsinhedges Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Bush guides are only ever a very rough guide to get you in the ball park. I've found different batches of the same powder can weigh differently. I'm guessing you have a scale to know the bushes are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washway Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes weighed some blue dot drops and I began to wonder if they have changed the density of it.Mine is old stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washway Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 just tried it with ao the largest bush is only dropping 25 grains,dont think its going to be much use for fowling loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) in 12gauge i got 29 grain new A0, under 24grams of steel shot. ~1500fps. Edited January 7, 2014 by cookoff013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigeon jim Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thing to do is find a bush that drops 1/2 the powder amount and put 2 drops of powder in each case first, you have to do this without the shot in the hopper, powder all your cases first then add the shot, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washway Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 good thinking,I was just surprised that the loadall chart says the largest bush drops 37.5 grains of bluedot and I got less than 25 grains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
