B525 LIGHT Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Any alternative powder suggestions to combat the lack of A STEEL, 381 and CSB 0 please chaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 SSB 150? I'm sure i heard good things about it last season, getting low on my stocks of those 3 powders so i'll need an alternative soon as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler23 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I use the ssb for my duck loads in the 10, I load a 42 grm #2, dropped a few passing geese with it too, can't fault the powder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B525 LIGHT Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks chaps, sounds like it's worth a try. Much cheaper than blue dot too!👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenergp Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I am just getting some SSB150, and would be interested in the load you have for the 10 bore if you are willing to share it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black powder gunner Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Last year when I ran out of alliant steel I got some to try in the 10 bore could not tell the difference shot both duck and geese with it, I will not be using alliant steel again its that good and much cheaper. The recipe I use is 89mm cheadite case cx2000 primer 41gr SSB+150 powder tps plastic wad 42 grams no1 copper coated steel a shot card then RTO finish you may have to put 1 or 2 20 bore fibre wads in the bottom of the tps wad before you fill it up with shot to get the correct shot height before you RTO. Hope this is helpful BPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
