Anyone got any kind of load for 2 1/2 12 gauge load info ?
I got a bunch ( two hundred ) of NEW 2 1/2 " Rio hulls with Rio primers and a 8 pound keg of green dot for $10. Now all I need is some kind of load info for what kind of wads. I don't know what I'll be loading to shoot with them but at $10 I need to do something, Doves, Rabbits or just tin cans... d |

Wow! $20 worth of hulls and nearly $200 worth of powder for $10? I
would be more interested in how to use the powder. I have a BP shot gun with a 2 1/2" chamber. If I use paper hulls I can use 2 3/4" hulls. 7/8 OZ is recommended. If you go less it's hard to keep enough pressure. I use a 20ga card in the bottom of the wad to take up some space. Another load i use is cut the piston off of Cheddite wads leaving the shot cup and crimp over a .69 cal lead ball. Devastating and accurate out to 40 yards. I'm using Pyrodex so I'm not worried about pressures. My Alliant book says 20-22 gr of GreenDot in a 2 3/4 with a Rem wad 7/8oz. DD Green Dot is a good powder but really too slow for these shells. Red Dot would be better. |
