Load #10


12 Gauge


Hull: Federal 3” Gold Metal

Primer : WW-209

Powder: 29grs SR-4756

Wad Column: Precision Reloading TUFW123 (molly or HBN coated with pre-split) – (1) 1/8” 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 (about 20 grains).

Shot:  32 pellets lead 4-buck

Crimp:  Fold crimp with a Precision Reloading tyvek over shot wad on top of shot column.  Seal the crimp with soft silicone

Velocity: 1225fps

Pressure: 11.2KPSI 


Notes:  This has long been a favorite 12 gauge load for my BP-12.  It patterns well and performs well in colder temperatures.  It also burns fairly clean in all but the largest over bore shotguns.
