Ive chronoed this load twice now. Once when it was @45degrees and yesterday when 85. Off Hodgdons site.
Win cf hull
1 oz lead
CB100 wad
w209
20.1 Universal

Even though their site says this should be 1220fps,It chronoed 1330,1369,1368 when 45 degrees and 1389,1380,1370 when 85. Anyone else had these results? In a Rem hull,it supposedly takes @ 1/2 gr less to get to the same speed with all the same load otherwise.

I had the same issue with this load. I backed off to 18 grains to get the advertised 1220fps Load is still clean.

I also had the same problem, I called hodgdon about it and they told me that no way, with my chrony, I could get any type of accurate data, but when I measured a factory load I got what it said on the box. I lowered the charge to 17.4 to get 1150 fps for trap shooting.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try 18.0 since I want it for a pheasant load.

Chronoed 3 of the 18.0 yesterday and got 1212,1237,1228. That will work for a hunting load in my Iside.

Universal & 20/28 are so much alike that I've acquired almost the same numbers as you. I dropped back a grain with 20/28 and crono out with a average of 1248 fps. Which I'm happy with that. Being I mainly shoot the games in trap 2 to 3 times a week. That is my line load and my shootoff load. As for universal I haven't messed with that much over the last few years since I discovered 20/28. Saying that , universal would be my backup powder if the time need be.

Yeah that will work.

Does your Iside look something like this?



Bet you have had Slim cut the stock and have a SC100 recoil pad on it by now.

Since you went to see Kerry and take lessons rumor on the street is that you are a beast in Sporting Clays. I'm willing to bet that carries over to feathers too

Very Happy

Thanks to you (and Dave), it looks incredibly like that one. A beast?? Hardly. Still no delusions of beating you.
