Guest cookoff013 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 ok guys, i should be testing a ton of loads before the end of the year. i had a setback of component delivery. are there any ideas out there that should take some consideration? (12ga) the one i might and might not is 3" 36g bismuth load with vectan A1, fibre wad. its something thats being batterd around for a while... thats usualy why i ask for component donations. (very small amount of shot etc.) i`ll be testing csb5 with steel and lead and i thought a touch of bismuth but think that project has minor life. any inspiration?

Something non toxic in a 2.1/2 case for the older Guns out there more suited to walked up snipe and smaller duck or maybe you’ve done that and I missed it Really appreciate the help and work you put in many thanks all the best of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 i planned to do csb5 with bismuth. the density difference between lead and bismuth is 0.88. ie bismuth is only .88 times the density of lead. that means a 1oz load 28.4g lead x 0.88 =24.99. so if i take a 28gram csb5 load and replace the volume (aka drop bismuth using the same 1oz lead bar) will mean 25 gram bismuth nontoxic load. would that be desirable? thats the thin project i had set up.

Old farrier Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Anything safe is good would mean many could use there older light Game Guns more seems a feasible load option to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Ok, OF. Are we talking 12/65mm, true 65mmwith fibre wads? Would 28/29 g load be worth it. In bismuth? Or should we spice it up with itx10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Sounds doable. Ill add it to the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 https://www.ballisticproducts.com/load16_08_12.htm while i`d take the data with a pinch of salt, there is data there.... OF is there fibre wadded data floating about for 2.5" loads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
