I'm going to load up this years upland and pheasant loads, the kids and I usually go through around 400 rounds a year . That includes a few trips out with the pigeon thrower as a warm up. We all shoot 870 super express shot guns and run factory full chokes all year, we go to a dead coyote .699 choke for ducks with steel.
This is our normal go to load; Traditional Pheasant HULL: Rio 12ga. 2.75" PRIMER: Rio209 PROPELLANT: Alliant Blue dot 37.0 Grains WAD: Mg42 SHOT: 1-3/8 oz. lead #5 /#7 1/2= 1/2 and 1/2 FOLD CRIMP: 6-point Result: PSI 11600 FPS 1300 BUT, we have used these too with good success: Theses seam to have the most recoil jumpy Pheasant HULL: Cheddite 12ga. 2.75" PRIMER: CH209 PROPELLANT : IMR 800X 29.0 Grains WAD: Mg42 SHOT: 1-3/8 oz. Lead #5X 7 1/2 FOLD CRIMP: 6-point Result: PSI 12000 FPS 1300 I hate to use buffer, PIA hard Pheasant HULL: CHEDDITE 12-gauge 2.75” PRIMER:Ch209 PROPELLANT: HODGDON UNIVERSAL CLAYS 28.0 Grains WAD: MG42 SHOT: 1-3/8 ounce lead NP#6 and, #5, or #4 BUFFER = 10 gr. FOLD CRIMP: 6-point Result: PSI 12000 FPS 1315 I have both hulls but I like the way the Rio crimp a bit better. They all pattern well in our guns with a full choke. I was just wandering any one else's thoughts. AND yes there Duplex shot loads and I'm staying with that concept!!! |

MOre complex than any shotshells I have loaded. Loaded thousands of traditional trap loads (12ga) over the years. Hundreds of loads for Cowboy action....shotgun phase w/mule ear SxS's...just plain lead shot 12ga...actually use shot "mined" from a local range and resold to us guys. Mixed sizes of course and most likely not a "round" shot in the batch. A few hunting loads were loaded for my 20ga SxS's & O/U's for upland birds. Buy duck loads now with steel shot.
