reclaimed shot (7-1/2 & 8 & 9)
7/8 oz charge bar
Win AA-HS hulls
Cheddite primers
Clays powder
CB1100-12 wads
I tried 16.9 grains of Clays and the readings were 1500 (ish) FPS, which is questionable but repeatable. Substituting the CB1100-12 wads for WAA12SL and Cheddite for Win209, Hodgdons data says I should get 1200 FPS. I seem to have gotten more horsepower than I wanted.
