I have the data, but I can tell ya from personal experience that your better of checking other sources as a lot of what’s listed is kind of unobtainable. I don’t know what you’re hoping to obtain from it but some of the data will slam you lol! I’ve used standard 7/8 oz shot recipes with good results. In addition I’ve had a certain amount of difficulty with some of the walls they suggested in that they are too thick in the area of the petals causing some holes to bulge and making it difficult to even get the slug in the wad and then loaded into the shell. In fairness I’m not looking to get rifle accuracy with a 7/8 ounce slug. 1 inch groups at 50 yards is more than accurate for me. If you combine that with the fact that I have no interest in obtaining 14 or 1500 ft./s I am more than happy with the loads I’m using your needs may vary.
Long, Wide, Deep, and Without Hesitation!
I agree. I load mine the same as my trap loads.
