20 Ga. Double slug gun Build

[longbow]

Wow! Nice indeed!

[x101airborne]

I love it. Everything about it is "classy" Like a supermodel in a slinky thigh slit dress. Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled. The wood is AWESOME!!! I can only dream about a stock that well done. The contrast with the barrels, then the scope is beautiful. You definately have my admiration and envy.

UPDATE 01/16/12

Hello All,

Happy days are here.
My RMC Brass showed up today.
I ended up with 16 of each RB and Slug Cases.

The RB will be 0.625" and the case mouth is 0.624"
The slugs will be sized to 0.622" and case mouth 0.621"
The slugs are 1 0z and 720 Gr or 520 Gr.(720 made into HP)

The brass is headstamped No 20 RMC Ball and No 20 RMC.
Workmanship look very good.
Will get the calipers out and do detailed inspection.
Went with the 3" length to get the bullet close to the forcing cone.
Hope the std 10 Deg lead works.

Need to get some 209's What is the hottest 209 ?

Cheers Nitro

[Al in Mi]

how long did you have to wait for those brass cases from RMC?

Fed 209A and CCI 209m seem to be the hotter of the bunch.

UPDATE 02/21/12

Hello,

Here is a pic of the RMC brass stoked with Trailboss and SWC Slug (450 Grain) and RB (350 Grain)



The RB shot really well, super accurate, maybe 1.5 x 1.5 " group. 6 shots at 50 yds.
The leading needs to be worked on.
The velocity was 1540 R barrel and 1484 Left IIRC.
32 grains Trailboss.
I tore the target removing it almost one ragged hole at 50 yds.
Since I am not done, and will size the balls to reduce leading, I will have another update on this.

The slugs had really bad leading and very wide group, pressure was high.
Flat primer, and one primer leaked a little.

I also tried more factory ammo.
This is the Brenneke silver slug 20ga 3".
All targets 50 yds.



This was Federal Premium with Barnes Xpander.



This was Federal Fusion Sabot.



So far it shoots Lighfields, Brenneke and Buckhammers really well.
And ofcourse the round ball the best.

Well, I got some time to persue my 20 Bore DR loading.

I loaded some 350 gr balls over Blue Dot with 20S1 wads and 1/8” nitro cards in Multi-hulls (8)

Also did some Hammerheads over Blue Dot (just 2)

Did some of the BPI DGS slugs over 800X (8)

I did some more of the 350 gr RB over Trailboss, in RMC Brass, added lube in the case neck. (8)

Did some RB on a wad column over Blue Dot, RMC brass lots of lube in the neck (2)

The idea is shoot 2 over the chrony, out of the H&R SB1, check for issues if OK

Shoot 3 Rights and 3 Lefts out of the DR for accuracy and regulation.

The afternoons labour.



The wad column combinations.



Will post targets after shooting.

[para-frame]

"lube in the case neck", are you doing anything special or just putting some lube around the lip between the ball and shell when it is seated?
Thanks, I really want to get in to reloading metallic shot shell reloading and I have always wanted a double rifle so this thread and your other one on NE has really piqued my interest (now if those threads could just pique my bank accounts. )
