Anyone using a cheddite primer with green dot?

I'd like to load 19 grains green dot with a cb1118-12 wad and 1 1/8 oz of shot in a STS hull and cannot find data that uses a cheddite primer.

I want to use a cheddite primer because that's all I currently have in my inventory.

I have quite often but load in a AA hull. Great load but some shells would bloom since GD is somewhat bulky.

I've loaded many with that exact recipe. It's a pretty fast load. I cut back to 18.3 for handicap but honestly, 17.2 is my singles load (again, same componets you listed above) and it'll suffice as handicap as well.

I load about the same thing,with GD,powder.

Thanks Wad, do you have any idea on just how fast those loads you listed are? It seems like alliant data is usually 50 fps faster than stated. The load I listed above is from alliant but with a w209 primer and they say it's 1145 fps, which means it's probably 1200 fps in reality.

Send an Email or call Alliant. They are very helpful.

We all know chronographing shot-shells is a crap shoot but it gives us an idea....all 1-1/8 loads.
I've had 20gr pushing 1300fps+ and just too uncomfortable for all day shooting.
19gr around 1220fps
18.3 around 1190fps.
17.2gr is around 1150fps.
5 shot strings, 4' from chrony, using a ladder for a rest and consistent muzzle placement. CG Summit 34" unsingle LF. About the best I can do with my setup. Your mileage may vary.

Thank you so much! I always appreciate folks that can provide real world data!

I use 21.5 grains green dot, Federal case, 12S3 wad, cheddite primer. Use for handicap and games. I've loaded thousands with Cheddites with no problem. Always check your charge weights , use known data unless your sure or had data tested. Shoot straight

I’m in the same boat with only Cheddite primers.
Recently I contacted powder companies regarding 700x and American select.
In both cases the companies were happy to help.

I shot 19 1/2 green dot, windjammers,, 1 1/8 oz for years in STS's..chedite primers........worked great....the recipe was in the alliant book......1180-1200.......8800 psi....m

I’m with Wadhopper. I load 17.3 grains of GD in AA hull with either a windjammer or AA wad and 11/8 shot. Good patterning shells and I shoot for both Singles #8 shot and 25yd handicap #71/2 shot.

Subsonic?

 

[slickhead]

Seems as though 17.3 grains would be a little slow. Just saying.

Use Winchester 209 data and load it......this question has been beat to death for years

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve been using a chrono and curious why it’s a crap shoot

There's many a thread discussing chronographs and shotgun shells. Enjoy...

I will, well for one when we cornograph we can only get the first pellet that crosses it . Now when the factory does it it get the mass, so if you want to match a factory shell cornograph it and build your hand load to it and they will be the same speed.
