Has anyone loaded these 1 1/8th OZ slugs?? They have spiral rifling and an attached wad collumn.

Well I loaded some using the 1 1/8 shot data universal clays 22.0gr gave me 1150fps from my o/u with skeet chokes in and 5" @ 50 yrds. I may move to a slower powder like 541. more to follow.

Hi.
The best slug for me in my smooth bore. I have some load data but not that much for your branded powders. I have a ton of data for nobel sport (vectan) powders not sure if you can get them in the u.s. I cant find it but somewhere on the gualandi website it says best accuracy is achived with velocitys of 1400fps and above. An italian guy also told me to finish my loads to a crimped length of 60mm which improved my accuracy a little. My hull OAL is 65mm the point protrudes from the top of the crimp but its not an issue with me as I use a single break barrel. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/rgpowell/slugdata/12dgsdata.html
BORRA-PROIETTILE is the name of the slug in italian also known as bpi dangerous game. http://www.gualandi.it/TabCariche/POLVERI_CARICAMENTO.htm

All the best.
