    cowboy shotshell data all loads shown are 1200fps at slowest,
    winchester compression case.win 209 primer WAA12 22grn AP-70N

    with remington case all the same but 21.5grns for 1255fps

    thats once n 8th loads.... SEEMS YOUR ap70n is for the heavy end of loads....

    Interesting, did he say why? I was under the impression that it was due to the lack of shot cup which is the case in some buck shot loads also.

    Nope. I did point out in my query that the slugs were "sabot" slugs but his single word reply was "Instability".

    Their unit has an internal perforated tube, call it a barrel if you wish, from one end to the other which all projectiles travel through and I can only surmise that concern exists about a slug wandering off course because of a "stability" problem and coming into contact with the tube...............the result of which WOULD be impressive.

    Having asked and been given a one word reply, I deemed it appropriate not to challenge the answer or ask a further question.

    As you say, "Cowboy loads," which nowadays seem to favour Trail Boss.

    My current task is for 1 oz to 1.2 oz slugs . For your interest, I have a copy of a reply from ADI powders in response to another user's query for subsonic loads and it reads as follows..


    "Here are figures supplied to me by the Ballistics Lab at ADI Australia using ADI AS30N


    12 Gauge
    Case: Winchester AA compression formed (Should be the same in the new Winchester case)
    Primer: Win209 or Fiocchi 616
    Wad: WAA12 (1-1/8th wad)
    Powder: ADI AS30N/Hodgdons Clays
    Shot: 1-1/4oz Lead Shot


    11 grains = 851 fps @ 5970 psi
    12 grains = 910 fps @ 6915 psi
    13 grains = 944 fps @ 8610 psi
    14 grains = 985 fps @ 9840 psi "

    Subsonic loads with similar shot weights however greatly reduced powder charges. It is from these that I create loads for my Spanish Laurona sbs and started with when seeking subsonic loads in the Norwegian silenced Sulun Tac 12 semi .

    Seems to me that the same weight of lead, (regardless of "shape" as long as it fits inside the wad cup) as recommended by ADI powders in the same type of hull and wad shoudn't be a problem. Apart from projectile performance.

    Time and caution will show. Oh, and of course, no choking.

    Interesting to remember that both the English Snider and Martini Henry projectiles finally settled up with a weight of 480 grains, basically the same weight as the modern day Lee 1 ounce key slug.

    There is little to fear from them bouncing around as the user has a neat taget rack consisting of a hanging heavy carpet to which the tagets are attached. The projectiles don't bounce, they go straight through and end up in the earth behind the rack.

    @Kiwilad2021 An answer in your other post. Please don't post the same question in two different threads.... It makes my brain hurt to decide which to answer.
