| I have been shooting: 2 /2" Cheddite hulls, Ched. primer, DR-16 wad, 15.9gr International Clays, 3/4oz 7 1/2 lead. International Clays is impossible to find. Does anyone have a 3/4oz load recipe using the DR-16, 2 1/2 Cheddite hull with an available powder?? I have Red Dot and Unique in stock?? |

Not pressure tested, but I have shot this in all my vintage guns without issue. I’m well into my second 4 pounder so far. |

| My apologies, I missed the 2.5” requirement. That recipe is for 2.75” hulls. |

Red dot in the 14 - 15 grain range will do you nicely , adjust to liking.
