Guest cookoff013 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Are you dead set on 70mm? A1 can do some half decent 25gram loads, in #4 steel would be ok for pigeons and light ducking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Lightning Steel Reloading Manual by Don Parker will sort you out if you have access to Steel powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 As above lightening steel, 28g loads will do you pigeons perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I never ever got the quoted speeds over the chronograph with the Lightning steel loads. I used AO with 28gm steel loads successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
