20g Steel

[johnnytheboy]

Well after deliberating for a long time and the recent news I decided the lowest caliber I would go is 20g, 28g ruled out due to only 70mm chamber and 410 as there is no non toxic cartridge for it I’ll ever afford. 
 

So the question is this, is anyone using a decent shop bought 20g steel load? 
 

Does anyone have a decent 20g homeload? Is there a load such as 24g of Steel that could be put in a 3” cartridge to reduce recoil/pressure maintain velocity?

With factory loads, i am loathe to give these greedy SOBs my money, so i buy local buy cheap, and they work. uk.  Gamebore supper steel 21gram of 3s and 4s or 5s. the 3s acctualy pattern tight in my hatsan, and they work quite well i have killed a few geese with that little load.

RELOADS.

  This is what you need to be doing to get full performance Steel bismuyj copper HWs and full TSS loads work great, lots of options i like bismuth always have, but this page and DAVE IN AZs page have lots of info. there is a russian on youtube does reloading vids, he loads 20.

Good link here lots of 20 info and loads.
