Smokersmith Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Folks, My Federal case supply has run low and I’m now about to load my 1st batch using the Cheddite cases. I understand they’re slightly shorter. Looking to use MM wads, and either Alliant Steel, or CSB0 powder with 42 to 44g of Steel shot. I’ve seen one recipe with 37grn of Steel with 42g Fe .. any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger687 Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Bit of a light payload in the big 10 isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 49g of B steel or 50g 2 steel in mine. Dissimilar wads and powder to what you have unfortunately else I'd share it. 42g is a 12 bore load for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 Ok .. I’ve not seen a lot of data with those levels of shot … I tend to like the BBB’s also !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go on the non-toxic loaders UK facebook page you can probably find some lads that could give you some data. I got on quite well with BBB too but 49g B steel has 148 pellets compared to 106 for BBB; 42g BBB has only 91, it gets a bit thin for me.

Dave at kelton Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 I load 42gm steel with 42gn of Alliant Steel, shot size BB or BBB. I find it perfectly adequate on foreshore geese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great 👍 Had plenty of data for the Feds but I need to move onto the Cheds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
