I chose these two loads out of the 5 that I had pressure tested a few months ago.
First load was 40 grs of Steel under a BW 18(BP 18) wad and then the slug. All this was crammed in a 3@ Fiocchi hull and fold crimp. NowX for those of you that know me, knows I’m very particular and detailed about my finished crimps, since crimps play a large part in slug accuracy and is often overlooked. The crimps on these were rather domed and that bothered me. I figured the accuracy wouldn’t be great and I was right.
With 40 grs of Steel, pressure was really low, but the recoil was STOUT. Believe me. Shots were all over the place. I think if I tamed it down to maybe 35 grs, those groups will tighten up because I’ll have more room to crimp.
38 grs of Blue Dot tighten things up a bit:
Slow is accuracy for big slugs. Both these loads are 1400+ fps. I’m thinking slowing down 50 fps might be the key.
