Smokersmith Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Just to help a little more on the topic of setback .... it's a physical phenomena similar to the feeling of getting set back in your seat as a flight tales off. The forces involved are high and can create pinholes in some steel wads, especially with big shot eg the 4.8mm used in this one below.

Guest cookoff013 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Im with Smith on this one even gamebore do it in some of there US fast steel loads . I dont go mad but I am quite happy with a row of smaller steel shot just above the wad , for the record cookoff your steel load with A1 powder fits much better with 26 grams of shot much better crimp 95 pellets in 4mm from memory cheers for the subsequent testing. i still will get that AS / steel load up and running, but time and money. it is amazing what such economic loads can do. nb prolly fit slightly better to at +1 grain powder (A1). sadly i`ve mentally drawn a line under that load. if you want to go out on a punt, clay game can recieve a recipe to test, they make it and test it for a small fee.

figgy Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Plenty of info online with pics of steel shot damaged barrels. The pin holes in the wads are a bit scary as this means contact with the barrel walls, how much pressure the contact has is unkown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Continental Shooter Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Thanks for that chaps, as i said, it was only a gut feeling being a novice on non-tox. That makes itx-10 even more interesting.... Edited April 13, 2017 by Continental Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 That itx10 is stunning ballistically. I think it's the most easily accessible nontoxic. I'd load it by volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
