fenboy Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 as long as you are loading the same weight then yes , the 5s will take up more volume though so your crimp may suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGD Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Isn't your pattern going to be all to cock though, unless you were planning a bizarrely heavy load of 7.5s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he is talking about a 1 - 1/8 oz load if I am reading it right so pattern will be fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data is producing 9100 psi at 1460fps If your using data and wads specifically for 7 1/2 shot perhaps not! You will need to make sure your stack is correct for the closure! If your stack is too high you risk bulging the base of the cartridge or not getting a good crimp. Best bet is to make sure the stack height is right on one or two before doing a whole batch! Dont forget your bushing for 32gram of 7.5 shot will not carry the same weight in 5s. you will be short! So make sure your press is dropping the correct weight.
