Down South Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Search google for vp80 (16 bore wad for steel) reloading data. It should take you to a Ballistic products page with loads of data for you. Load 50204 is the one to go for, works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughshooter Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 There is plenty of data for Steel 16ga but it is generally Bluedot, Longshot or Alliant Steel Powder incorporating a VP80 wad or the B&Ps27 wad. I have some 16ga Kent Fast Steel in the cellar which have the B&P wad and uses 26g of steel 4 with Alliant Steel (Commercial 381). If you google VP80 reloading data then it will bring up a PDF or if you go onto the Ballistic Products Site and look at Load of the Week and then Archives it will bring up a few listings. Also try the 16ga forum which has useful info. I have a good few loads here which I can dig out but I won’t be using steel as I have plenty of Bismuth and ITM. Just have a load ready to test with 32g 3.1mm ITM and a B&PS27 wad which looks like it will do the job on geese and large ducks should the opportunity arise with the 16ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
