on a1 try about  1.35 gram and 18mm wad        that shud leave u about 11mm for your crimp    overpowder     card 4mm   on loading 20 bore  now     cheers   george 07714 323 909

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I should of put on for 28 grams of lead. Thanks

I proofed a 20g load that was  70mm case, Fiocchi 615 primer, 18grains Vectan A1,  b&p z22 wad, 24grams lead shot, 6 petal crimp. 1280 fps and 712 bar average pressure. You really want a proper crimp on a 70mm case, not an overshot card and roll crimp purely for volume for the recipes to fit correctly.

I use 18 grains 4 mm nitro card 16 mm fibre wad 28 shoot.

If using reload cases you will need to spin the crimp as 20 bore tend to spay out on crimp and want recycle properly in semi auto 

I use new cases to get over this problem .

A0 is the better powder for 28 gram loads. Dear to buy now though.

A1 is built for 24-25 grams, A1 sp or A0 are better for 28g, although new A0 Is not as slow burning as it once was. I proof load 1,35g X 27g lead and was in the almost got to 1000 bar, 28 g even with a roll crimp will be close to that.

Brilliant guys thanks alot for all the help

Found the certificate for the A1 load: 

1,25. X 27 gualandi wad star crimp at 60 mm 

AVG: 923 bar, 393 m/s one test went to 1004 bar

Definitely not a powder for 28g in 20 bore.

I think you can try 1,20-1,25 X 24-25 g with star crimp or 26 for RTO in a 70mm hull
