lksopener Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Any one loading CSB5 with a 24 gram lead load? Looking for some data if anyone can share anything? Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I've seen a lot of data. It's not really a 24g powder. Maybe look for 28gram and 32g load data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe look for 28gram and 32g load data +1 not a 24g by any stretch of the imagination. Can get there with some twtching (2.75 hull, strong primer, stiff wad) and testing but definitely a powder that works best in the 28-30g range Edited April 22, 2018 by Continental Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatsanmad Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Csb5 is better suited with 21-28gram in lead and I have been told 19-21 gram with steel. A mate of mine uses a 24gram of 5s Csb5 load and swears by it. I will see if I can find the load data for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatsanmad Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 No worries mate. Pressure was rather low aswell he said think he said was around 770 bar. I load a 28 gram load with a bit zero wad that's a really nice load aswell when I get chance I will find the data sheet for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatsanmad Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Like I said I think that's what he said as I'm not 100% sure. But even if that's the case it's only out on cip regs would still pass sammi specs. Doesn't mean it's unsafe. But like I said I wasn't 100% sure so yes I shouldn't make a guess. But I can garuntee the load is safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 while 770 bar is quite some pressure, the pass or fail of cip regs requires statistics not just a summary which the average is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatsanmad Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 But like I said I THINK as I CAN'T remember exactly what he said to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lksopener Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Cook the powder is more than suitable for 24 gram loads. At 22.5 grains, cx2000 primer, spark wads and 24 grams of lead in a Ched case it out performs anything I can buy from the commercial producers. Give it a try you might be surprised, a very versatile powder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 i actually have those components, and the spark wads i`ve billions. i have taught guys to reload this ecact load except 21g vectan AS.. in a #6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lksopener Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Give it a try buddy honestly it makes a superb shell, might load some in 6’s for the game season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diss4111 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I have loaded 1000's of 24 gram cartridges with CSB5, I only load fibre wad and my load recipe is 22 grains CSB5 4mm over powder card 21mm evo wad from FES 24 grams lead shot 70mm case and 6 point crimp. Never had one tested but they kill well and are easy on the shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 the vectan AS and superspark is my tutorial load for loading. i did the near same, 21grain AS, superspark, and25grams of lead, its the 7/8oz bar. i had one guy load up some, he reloaded #6 and then went pigeon shooting. it was nice he gave a running comentary throut the day, and the shells certainly performed very well. i wanted that link between reloading and firing off shells, near instantly, not storing them in a cupboard for decades then wondering what these shells are. i forgot who the guy is, but he did really well.

harkom Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Why does an enquiry for recommendations(=suggestions ) on a load - using powderX - progress from "data" ( ie.NOT) - posted by a loader with the supporting endorsement - "great load, given me by a mate" - to the "I dunno" by the respondent when queried on the technical aspect of the load. Surely to goodness - on a internet forum - one can only suggest/indicate load data which is supported by pressure/proof test. I rest my case.
