As title. I have copies of 12 testsheets from Precision. All 16ga 1oz and 7/8oz, various GreenDot hull primer wad combos.
Can't remember where I copied them from, want to give proper attribution to the guy who loaded and paid for these!
Thanks!

I am not positive which you're talking about but Cold Iron did majority of some. I did 1 16ga and 1 20 ga. It was all spawned by a post on I think Trapshooters where someone posted about a 20ga load that went WAY over pressure by subbing a ch209 for a W209. Some still think you can sub a ch209 for any other primer in any load. also showed there is a difference in the old GD vs the new GD

Thanks yeah those were mine. Jim on here had discovered that the new green lid green dot tested hotter than what was listed by a good amount. And like Savage16 said there are a lot of reports of others testing loads that came in way over previous data. It needed to be done.

They were done with the new green lid green dot with the exception of the IMR Green load. And that came in where it should have based on previously tested data by Precision. Which was about the same as the old black lid green dot.

Cold Iron is a Navy Engineering term meaning the ship is moored to the pier and receiving hotel services. ie: not underway being deployed some place overseas. I have been retired from the Navy for 30 years +2 months and have been Cold Iron since then.

Well thanks much then, Cold Iron!
I love Greendot. Most all my loads are 3/4oz skeet, all gauges. Your nice testsheets lets me use GD for 16ga too, 7/8oz. But the good fluffiness of GD helps fill those empty hulls up well!

I have 16 lb of GD, and use it for 3/4oz 20ga, 28ga, and both 7/8oz and 1oz 16ga now! When I post about the load I'm using, I wanted to give you credit!
