HW95J Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Anyone got a good recipe for 20 bore, specifically RTO? 26-28g, #6 shot, fibre wad. Something like PSB2 or A1 for powder. Seen a fair bit of data for crimped but nothing RTO and want to get the right case length etc. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipper Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 R TO and crimp no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to avoid buying components then having to put a very deep RTO on because too long. Planning on 67mm case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipper Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just add extra card wad if you need to build up to fill the space .I would get a wad punch and use cardboard or food trays .Much cheaper than buying Wads 5/8 punch.

HW95J Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Thanks, makes sense 👍 Hoping John at FES has stock still, I know he was due some in recently but demand has been something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I would try a 70mm crimped recipe in a 67mm case with rto. I have a 27gram recipe but only for Vectan A0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sits, I’ve been loading your proofed 70mm 20ga, 615, z19 plastic wad, 20grain AO, 27g lead fold crimp. It’s a great load. I’ve also been loading it in fibre with nitro card at 21 grains. Also a lovely load. I’m interested in that 67mm RTO load. Are you using the same 20gr AO 27g lead but with plastic obturator and fibre and RTO? Just bought a GAEP crimp finisher and it makes beautiful RTOs with a cordless drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
