MGMPEST Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi everyone, this is my first post so please be gentle, and apologies if this has already been covered. I have recently decided to load my own 20guage cartridges, i have read the lyman 5th edition book (which covers mainly the american market i have found out) and got my self a lee loadall press. I am struggling to find load data which covers fibre wads, plenty for plastic, but they aren't any good in a field where cows/sheep will eat them. I have some Eley Vip Game cartridges once fired 70mm cases. i would mainly be shooting at pigeons/corvids with these loads, if anyone can point me in the right direction or give me some load data this would be much appreciated.

robbiep Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Clay and Game, Hull. They do components and load data. (they charge a small-ish fee for data sheets) #### (just type it into your browser). They also sell components, and have some data free on their website (20 bore fibre on there, including some subsonic loads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGMPEST Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 28g of number 6, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGMPEST Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 how does this load sound? Fiocchi 616 primer, 14 grains Vectan A1, 4mm overpowder card, 16mm fibre wad, 28g no6 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 how does this load sound? Fiocchi 616 primer, 14 grains Vectan A1, 4mm overpowder card, 16mm fibre wad, 28g no6 shot. It sounds exactly like the c&g 20 gauge subsonic load, there are much better out there. John at FES has published six of my proofed 20 gauge loads, one of which is a 28gram fibre load using 21grains of vectan A0. There are others on his site too along with well priced components. http://www.####.co.uk/loads1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 where did you get your data? 20-70 686 1.25grams vectan A1 wad? 28grams lead 365m/s 750bar 20-70 684 1.48 grams vectan A0 wad? 28grams lead 400m/s 760bar these are straight from noblesport; 14grains seems awfully low.... *cheers andy*my 20gauge knowlege is pretty poor, but that 14grain load looked unusable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGMPEST Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 14grains would be for a subsonic load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floating Chamber Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 17.5 grains A1, B&P H21 wad, 65mm case with M684 or CX1000 primer, 24 grams of lead, crimp closure, but saw off your final crimp station to 62 mm. Spin with a GAEP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGMPEST Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 B&P H21 wad, 65mm case do you have any data for fibre wads and a 70mm case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 do you have any data for fibre wads and a 70mm case? If you have a look at #### (like I suggested), you'll find data posted up there for 20 bore, 70mm, fibre wad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
