mellors Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just started doing some home loading. I'm using maxam ssb 150 powder. I have data for 21 gram steel loads. Has anyone got loading data for 24 gram steel 20gauge loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 21 gram pattern ok. Not tried them on the pigeon yet though. Thought I'd have a go during lockdown and while it's quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look at that. As I said just started reloading 20gauge steel. I've only got vp90 and 91 wads at the moment there made to take 21 grams of shot max. So they must be using a different wad. Once I've found a good one for decoying I'll stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Pick a wad that gives lower pressures like a sam1 does in 12bore. Scotland reloading have plenty of choice for 29 bore steel wads including sam1 Edited December 9, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
