Thanks! I have always wanted to reload, and have finally got into it. If there are loads people want to see let me know. See what I can do to find some.
Very glad to see alliant steel in stock...its been a dry spell for me. Light payload with TUWSBL24 wad does really well on decoyed geese. Precision has load data with those wads. can go from 1595 fps in a Rem taper CF to 1750 fps in straight wall. All loads are fed209a and alliant steel. no fillers so easy assembly. i only get 327gr #2 zinc plated steel in there so i might be going a touch faster. Bonus that this is with 2.75 inch shells so i dont have to change anything on press for the crimp. in hunting situations, the recoil is non existent.
I like the straight wall hulls for the extra room. I have been using cheddite primers with Alliant steel because they r the only primers I have. So far they seem to be working very good.
Got mine and heads up if you decide to run fast rounds you need a hot primer or you won’t get a complete burn! Plus its hard to run much steel p in 2 3/4 because of the large flake and amount of volume consumed by the large flake powder in your hulls. I shot three test shot running 1760 fps with steel p, probably pattern like crap but we will see!
The pattern was extremely vertical covering three bitch wood Casey duck target 🎯 stacked three high with a few inches in between target. Only about a foot and half wide. Not a pattern I’d want to hunt with but it did print out to 60 yard’s running TSS 9 shot. Now a similar load out of steel number two shot won’t print out to 60 yards just not enough projectiles . 368 pellets vs 137 pellets go figure. I’ve patterned a lot of loads with 32.5 to 35 grains of steel powder. 32.5 is a sweet spot with payloads from 1 1/4oz to 1 1/2oz, and even 1 5/8oz!
@@BrockLowell These were pretty slow loads. But wondering if it’s to tight of a pattern with the TPS wad for ducks and geese. I think the TPS wad will be good for turkeys, but will probably use a lead load with a TPS wad for turkey.
These are good wads... Ive used all 3 in the series... But Precision Reloading's load data is anemic and slow at best. There are ways to get the velocity out of these wads but you have to experiment a bit. In a modern shotgun, pressures are handled quite well... Look at the pressures generated in a 3 1/2 inch shell for instance.... thats the hint by the way. When you place your felt wad/spacer in, put it behind the shot in the base of the wad.... If your shot rides a little high... thats OK... when you fire the shell, the shot will set-back in the wad and won't contact the barrel. Steel powder is THE powder for 12 gauge waterfowl loads and pretty pressure safe in my experience but must be weighed individually for each round you make. It meters poorly.
Thanks. I have been placing it on the top to avoid the barrel contact, but may have to try it on the bottom. Would be interesting to see if it affects the pattern.
Reloading Specialties Inc. wads create less pressure than any other wad available...with the groove and ridged design there is half the friction on the barrel VS other wads which makes for lower pressures...RSI data has all been tested by Tom Armbrust ballistic testing...very simple safe loads...example gold medal hull....34gr. steel powder sam1 wad 1 1/8 OZ steel shot 1425 fps...8500 psi

@@victorsutpheniii3374 I do like the MG42 wad but can only get 1oz of steel. Been getting some good results with a TPS wad. I do plan on getting some of the SAM wads. Thanks

Nice Job! It is up to us to keep the reloading hobby alive. Keep em coming.

I use the MG42 wads for steel BB, but you can only get an ounce of shot in the cup
Definitely a good load. And patterns well.

I have seen on some loads the faster they go the worse the pattern.

@@Duckslayer1096The MG42 wad will work too, and has a lip around the bottom to prevent powder creep.

@@Duckslayer1096 Yeah, Precision Reloading's recipe shows 1oz with the XYFE12520 2oga spacer, or 1⅛oz without it.
@@victorsutpheniii3374 Was not able to locate a load with 1 1/8oz in any of the data for the MG42. Where did you locate it?
