arm3000gt Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi Does anyone on here reload 00/SG 9 pellet buckshot for practical shotgun in fibre variety they could share. I've searched the web and can only come up with plastic wad data mostly from american sites. I have also asked clay and game but they didn't answer and I have a few of their data sheets. I am due to go to clay and game in two weeks time to pick up so powder and a few other bits so I can buy anything they stock. Any help would be appreciated.

saddler Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 What reloading manual have you checked for data? Most have fibre data for 00 buck. Ballistic Products in the US also have special pages you can download, with such recipes on. Check their site out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arm3000gt Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I no longer have a physical reloading manual it got mixed up in the recycling pile. I've looked at the BPI products website but can't see where I would download any pages. Could you link to the right page? Does anyone have the BPI Buckshot manual? Does that contain fibre loads if it does I'll buy a copy as Clay Game sells it, just want to get a list together so they have it all when i go.

saddler Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Try the load of the week page.. http://www.ballisticproducts.com/loadoftheweek.htm Will look for more links, but using mobile so not fast... The sub page, for archived data http://www.ballisticproducts.com/loadoftheweekarchive.htm Edited March 13, 2017 by saddler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arm3000gt Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Ok thanks for that. I'll take a look through. They mostly seem to have plastic wads and or gas seals with the odd bit of fibre to get the height. I will look in more detail though.

Guest cookoff013 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think you can get away with #4 buck, target wads etc There is dedicated data for these cheaper fake buckshot loads for tangent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Any fibre load will work for buckshot as long as its weight for weight with ordinary shot. You are not going to be shooting deer so you don't need 1600 fps. The overall shot column may be a bit bigger than with birdshot so you may have to adjust the height of the wads to compensate. Other than that its business as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAB1954 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I have the 4th edition of the Buckshot Manual and all loads are plastic gas seals or plastic wads as far as I can see. I load various buckshot loads mainly to American data as per above manual. A nitro card and fibre load would be easy to make from a bird shot loading the same payload weight as suggested above. What components are you planning to use UK or US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arm3000gt Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 It would be handy to use UK/European components but I'll use US powders if necessary. I'll look through what 32g birdshot loads I have data for and see what powders I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Please report back with results/data/components as I am sure many would rather load this type of shot for the small amount that we use in PSG. Having said that I picked up a box (the last in stock) of buffalo 32g SG fibre for £9.50 from Countryway in West Malling Kent. I believe its a regular stock item that sells like hot cakes Edited March 14, 2017 by impala59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not put a list on your website? From PW posts, PM and rumours you have CX primers, wads, shot, slugs, cases and various powders Vectan & Lovex for sale. What other goodies are you hiding? Surely a price list on your website would be the way to go like other suppliers. Prices coming soon .................... How soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and phone you in the next day or so anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arm3000gt Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Just to update this thread. After my successful attempt at reloading some general purpose rounds I am going to give the buckshot a go. I'm going to use the load below and see how it goes. I'm expecting to have to cut the wads slightly. Hopefully if I finish painting early I will be able to give it a go this evening. I will post pictures and update how it goes for those who expressed interest. 12g 70mm PT hull CX2000 Primer 24gr Vectan A1 4mm 12g Nitro Card 17mm 12g fibre Wad 32g SG 6 point Crimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
