Looking to load some 16ga 7/8 ounce loads with universal powder. Anyone got any info on what charge I can use. Will be loading in cheddite hulls with sp16 wads.
I also have red dot I could use as well.

The SP16 wad will need a lot of filler with 7/8oz shot. Best get a SG16 or a DR16wad, maybe a Claybuster 7/8oz wad. Universal can be used for 7/8oz loads but slightly faster burning powders like Green Dot or International work better.

Go to the Hogdons reloading site . You can plug in your gage, hull , powder, shot weight.
I shoot 2 1/2" cheddte hulls with 19.9 gr Universal/ SG16 wad/ 7/8 oz lead @ 1165 fps and low pressure(forget what it is).
I shoot it in my Damascus and fluid steel guns for clays and also grouse and released pheasants.

Cheddite 2 3/4" hull
Winchester 209 primer
20.0 grains Universal powder
Gualandi SG16 wad
1 oz. lead shot

1,154 FPS 8,100 PSI

Drop in a .125" 24 gauge filler wad and drop 7/8 oz. of shot......that will work all day long.
