shakin stevens Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Go on the clay and game web page and pay for a load data sheet you fancy .doing in your chosen powder and gauge . Then see what they have in stock to make the load , always find you wont always find a component in stock sometimes. Saves ending up with stuff you dont want then .

aberisle Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 The HG load is a good one for ducks there are a few variations of it most of them are mentioned in this page: https://pipesf16.wordpress.com/chronopattern-testing-10gaokie-hg-load-5-flavors/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't bother, most of it is out of date and uses components/powders that have been discontinued. If you're going to clay & game in person you may as well ask them for load data for the type of cartridge you're after. The other thing you should bear in mind is how available components are over here - personally I wouldn't bother with anything other than cheddite cases, simply because they are so much cheaper and more readily available than American cases. A similar argument applies to the choice of wad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
