RyanMc Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hi All, Just after some info/reassurance on a load. Currently have a tub of Vectan AS, CCI 209 primer, maxam 24 plastic WAD and once fired Elley Hulls (Olympic blues and supergame hulls). 18.8grain AS, above components and 28g lead shot. 1 oz. Cheddite Ched 209 , AS, 18.8 gr, 1200fps, 9,000 PSI - this is the info I am basing my load on. I am using a Lee LoadAll II, as for setup I have selected an appropriate powder bushing and created a drop table to 1. get the feel of the machine, check the actual drops. average of from 163 bushing is getting me 1.22gram (18.82grain) to 1.24gram (19.13grain). Shiot drop is consistent at 27-29gram. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) I used to use 21grains of Vectan AS for 28 or 30 grams of shot with cx2000 primer and z24 wad. If it were me I would up the powder a bit if you feel it needs it. This is a standard proofed load by the way and I recall it gave about 1250fps in the real world.

RyanMc Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks for the sharp replies! I have a 2nd load based on the same data sheet with max 22grain. I was cautious staying at the 18grain until confidence in the materials and data increases. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

222mark Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I load 22 grains AS under 28g of shot with a B&P 24 wad, but clay and game data says 23 grains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the claygame CD data is very suspect in my experience 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
