I have been using the Downrange
7/8 PINK
wads and having a ball. They made ink balls out of targets from the 16
yard line on Sunday. I was shooting them out of a Beretta 3901 and having
a blast. I was using a similar recipe to yours. I looked and found a
recipe you might want to try. Win 209 primer, Federal GM hull, 7/8
Downrange or Winchester WAA12L wad, and Clays powder. You need 19.0 grains
for 1250 FPS (7000 PSI), or boost it to 20.3 grains for 1300 FPS (8000 PSI),
22.0 for 1350, or 23.0 for 1400 FPS at 10,500 PSI. Now this is not a home
brew but copied from the 2007 Hodgdon's reloading manual on page 124. Go
up a little further on the same page and you will find the recipe for the
Fed12SO wad using a 7/8 lead shot. If you want to try the Downrange wad
Email
Kevin and tell him you want to try a sample. You can pick up a bag for about
$8 plus shipping if you like them. The
Downrange web site has the dealer
closest to you. I use Rem hulls, the
PINK
7/8 wads, and however much Clays I can sneak through a MEC #35
bushing (19.4 gr). If you need anymore info, post or email me or Kevin
directly if you want. IMHO Your
PINK WADS
may vary.
