Load #5
12 Gauge
Hull: Federal Gold Metal 3”
Primer : CCI 209
Powder: 33.2grs. SR 4756
Wad Column: Turkey Ranger (molly or HBN coated with three petals split 2/3 the length of the wad) – (1) 1/4” felt or wool wads in the bottom of the cup
Buffer: Ground polyethylene (Ballistic products SD-C works well - add about 2 grams of molybdenum disulfide to 1 pound of buffer) – add buffer with gentle tapping till all interstitial sites are filled and the buffer is level with the top of the shot column.
Shot: 47 pellets lead T-buck
Crimp: fold crimp with Precision Reloading tyvek over shot wad on top of shot column. Seal the outside of the crimp with soft silicone.
Velocity: 1200fps
Pressure: 10.9KPSI
Notes: This load works well in auto loaders and is very temperature stable. This is a good patterning load with a variety of choke combinations in my BP-12. Velocity will be quite a bit lower in back bored barrels as this wad does not expand to seal very well.
