I loaded up some 1oz loads following the data from Hodgdon and was able to shoot them last night.
The powder meters well, drops were very consistent with my Spolar. 14.9gr per the recipe. It’s really clean to load with. It looks similar to Titewad and Titegroup in appearance but isn’t messy to load at all like Titewad is. As a side note, the Delrin charge bar on my Spolar helped quite a bit with the Titewad but Perfect Pattern is still way better than TW on its good day.
Using Win AA hulls, the stack height was great, no problem there. I used the CB 4100-12B wad, again, per the recipe.
Shooting the loads was really nice. The recoil is mild, like most 1180fps 1oz loads. My barrels were clean after each shot. I use #7.5 shot for everything and it broke targets with smoke from the 16yd and my full choke. I used it for the first and second shot on doubles and liked it there too. I wanted to try it out from the 27yd line for curiosity-sake but ran out of time.
All in all, I like it and I’ll definitely be using more of it. Below is the recipe I used, to the letter. I had a few Winchester primers just waiting for an occasion like this. Next up would be to use this same load but with Cheddites and send them off to be tested.
