    20 Ga Paradox style load data

    Gentlemen,
    I'm looking for some load data for a 530 grain Paradox style cast bullet in 2.75" 20 ga cases please.
    Bullet diameter is .625" and and being fired from a fully rifled barrel on a big Martini action.
    Could anyone steer me in a direction to get me started please?

    DC

    Depends on what powders or equivalents you can get there. and

    are cases plastic or brass, Only loads I tested

    are with rifle powders and the real slow shotgun powders.

    Here is one I would like to try, if i could get 500gr fullbore hardcast 20ga slugs:

    Load: 20gaDixie-1
    Power Category: normal
    Velocity and pressure: Mr. Gates states “1425 fps and ‘pressure tested at Ballistics lab” but pressure not specifically noted
    Hull: 3” Ched
    Primer: ?? Ched??
    Powder & Charge: 34gr Blue Dot
    Wad column: OB20, hard card, ½” cork, hard card wad under slug
    Load: 500gr .625 hardcast lead slug
    Overshot (if any) & Crimp: roll
    Notes: as seen here:

    Mayber that doesnt help you since you asked abt 2.75" hulls. Sorry. But the addition or subtraction of 1x1/2" cork wad shouldnt change pressure that much. Still, be warned that that would make this an untested load. be careful. i just wanted to list a possible place to start looking for you.

    But, where are you getting your slugs?
