aberisle Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Here is the Data from Claygame on SSB150 steel shot crimp finish. 12x3.5" primer cx2000 powder 36 grains SSB150 wad multi metal 3" 1/8 felt o/s shot 35 grams. speed 406 meters per second ,pressure 744bar . average from 5 shot string. 12 x 3" primer G1000 Maxam, powder 43 grains SSB150, wad B&P 32, shot 32 grams. speed 446 meters per second, pressure 535 bar. average 5 shot string 12 x 2 3/4" primer cx2000 powder SSB150 32.4 grains. wad VP65, shot 30 grams, speed 426 meters per second, pressure 536 bar. average 5 shot string There is no mention of what shell case they used but i would think that the ones with cx2000 primers were Cheddite and the one with G1000 primers is the 3" Maxam case that Claygame sell. The 2 loads with cx2000 primers were tested at the London proof house and the G1000 was done by Claygame inhouse testing Edited February 13, 2019 by aberisle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aberisle Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 It is a lot of powder but i have loaded it and shot it and it was ok, its 2 grains more than the 10 bore load but that is pushing 42 grams of shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Maxam themselves only suggest 31.6gr for their 32g load for 415m/s and 600bar. http://www.maxamcomponents.com/en/outdoorsbrand/componentes/products/powders Edited February 13, 2019 by Stonepark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 there are alot of loads thrown around here. take the manufacturers advice, 36g loads seems to be the middle load. and the powder charges are not too crazy throughout, the data they send. if you think of it like this, the shell will give out more energy as the heavyer payload needs more energy to start moving. it would be my first port of call.

pestcontrol1 Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 But how many of you use the powder an have noticed that the batch number changed and so did the powder ?? Most of the loads on clay game sheets for this stuff is over pressure and some is not this powders data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the loads on clay game sheets for this stuff is over pressure and some is not this powders data Good point powders do change lot to lot look at A steel newer lots to older in the teens lot numbers its noticeably different in performance\ and pressure. A steel in the early 2000s needed federal 209as or cci 209m to get reliable ignition especially in lower temps, now in the last lots when it returned on sale here these seem quite happy on cx2000or similar primers. constant vigilance and testing seems the only true way to stay safe the way things are with some powders. Blue dot changed slightly over the years but nothing close to how A steel has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
