20ga Stuff Part 2

[Blammer]

Here is some more and I'll try to edit it for easier reading on the components, as the cut and paste from Excel don't work nun too good.

The Rem STS hulls are too narrow and will not allow the bullet/sabot to be seated. The Federal Hull, Winchester Universal, and possibly the Fiocchi will allow the shot/slug combo to be seated easily.

The only difference between this and #803 is the gas seal.

BAAAAAD!

1 shot out of 5 hit the target at 25 yds.

OB gas seal kept blowing and messing everything up.

1/2 felt wad

Have target at 25 yds, 2" wide and a 4" tall, two are close together with the third about 3 inches low of other two. (I got the target, just too lazy to put it up right now....)

May try to shoot a 5 shot group next.

and then test with 1 gr incremental powder charges.

My 20 ga. rifled slug Encore barrel arrived yesterday, and some 20 ga. brass casings should be here on Friday.

Thank you for the informative thread.

twenty gauges seem to be a pain to get to shoot straight with slugs...

[Blammer]

I was trying the wad as a sabot deal, and discovered like many here already knew, it was a no win situation.

The wads just won't hold up. Full bore or RB's seem to be the way to go.
