The Parker Forum has a bunch of 2 7/8 load data, There a bunch of load data that has been tested. Lead and Bismuth are there.

That is really too bad but, the break is in the right place, the checkered grip. A repair can be done and the checkering refreshed to make the repair disappear. A fillet inletted under the guard ta ...

I use the Precision roll crimp tool in my drill press with the BPI hull vise. I set the drill press stop for travel and when changing lengths just raise or lower the table. I do not heat the hull mo ...

I had the same problem with my Beretta Victory coat. The shoulder patches are a santeen type material and slippery when using checkered butt stocks. I sewed a suede leather patch on it and stopped t ...

I have not used them but 2 of my friends use either the Poly Wad discs or the Ballistic Products X spreader with very good results. Both drop their shot weights by 1/8 oz to compensate for the space ...

Thank's Rick. I have used the Universal 7/8oz load and it was very good. 19.7grs with the Noblesport primer @7100 psi. I could use these when the Clay's series returns from unobtainable. Have not ...

I managed to order 8#'s of SR7625 on line and yesterday picked up 4 1# along with 4 1# 'bottles of PB. With what I have on hand I'll be OK for awhile. If these are being discontinued by Hodgdon's, ...

I did get out today and tried out this load. Very nice results. Broke birds cleanly, thought it was a clean burning load and the hulls look very good. Before I stuffed them into my English hammergu ...

Thank's guy's! I'll give it a try and believe my vintage hammerguns will love it. Hope my hull life improves as I plan on working quite abit with the 16 bore.

I'm looking at the spreadsheet data for the Cheddite 2&1/2 inch hull with cheddite primer, 7/8th oz shot and the BP-SG-16 wad. 20.1 grains of SR7625 for 1150fps and 6,800 psi. 6 point fold crimp ...

Mike, I used the Ballistic Products Spin Doctor Hull Conditioning tool in my drill press. It does restore the hull mouths but most of my hulls are cracked or spilt upon firing when roll crimped so I ...

Guy's, I tried the hull uniformer and it really doesn't work all that well with the Cheditte once fired hulls. They have a tendency to crack or split at the mouth due to the work hardening during the ...

I'm using the Precision Reloading 16 ga. overshot card. Dia.=.671 and .025 thick.

Just returned from a sporting clay's outing where I used a load provided by Mike. New Chedite 2 & 1/2" hulls, Fiocchi 616 primer, 14.5 grains of American Select, DR-16 wad and 7/8th's oz of ...

The 3/4 oz PB load does work really well. Breaks the birds nicely and has a good velocity with low pressure. On the shoulder, it makes the 16 ga into a big bore 28 ga. That is not a bad thing! Not ...
