Hello Kmcd
Welcome on your first posting
You will need to use a wad of more cushion height.

Lower the crimp punch about two full turns on your MEC, then adjust further as needed.

| Knoll I load the second load you list with the sg16 wad and its a very good fit with no fillers. Do you have a scale that you could weigh the shot drop with? sometimes the charge bars throw lite. Are you using the regular SG16 wad or the one with the little s on the end? |

2 3/4" 16 ga. Cheddite Hull
Winchester 209 Primer
22.0 Grains Universal powder
SG-16 Gaulandi hull
1 oz. #8 mag shot
No fillers, no overshot cards, no food, no BS and I load these on a 9000G or a Sizemaster.

I have, I actually have velocities for 3 different powder charges. These velocities were taken when I originally tested the loads. I have not chrono'd the loads through my shotguns .
20.0 grains is 1154 FPS
21.0 grains is 1232 FPS
22.0 grains is 1308 FPS
I use the load for Sporting Clays in my 1100. The 22.0 grain load makes the best crimps, the other two will dish slightly. |
