Hey guys,
Been casting and reloading pistol and rifle for years and just getting into shotshell reloading. Casting some 00 buck with a lee mold but have some concerns with the wads and powder combo Ive got, cant find a published load for it. Ive got green dot powder, Remmington sts hulls, Ballistic products GS-2 gas seals, and some 12Ga. 1/2 fiber wads. Does anyone know of a legitamate 12ga load with these componets? Mistakenly found a recipie for 20 ga with these componets and then bought them, now Im just not sure. Thanks for the help.

John

Couldn't find anything in my Lyman #3rd edition Shotshell HB(I know it's dated, so am I) but Alliants page may help.

Try here http://www.castpics.net/LoadData/Freebies/BuckshotLoading3.pdf I do believe that their gas seals are intended for the non tapered cases, though. The url is for an older edition of the Ballistic Products buckshot manual, and there are a lot of loads with gas seals and built up fiber wads.

Here is an idea.. Why not email the Curmudgeon at Ballistic Products. Tell them what you have and ask them for help. They have really good data and info and have always been willing to help whenever I had questions.

I contacted Curmudgeon with the componets I have and he did get back to me. Said he would have the lab generate something for me, Balistic Products will be getting my buisness in the future! Thanks for the replies.
