Thread: Damn It! Lost load data.

I have been using Win AA compression formed hull with Win 209 Win AA12 11/8 wad cut petals to length, 20g felt under 1oz lee keydrive, 21.6grains AS50n. I use this in Rem 1187 slug gun & it goes great on rabbits, hares & possums. I started at 21grains which was nice & light but am now at 21.8grains.

Is there anything left of the rabbit/hare/possum ?

I did try 1oz round balls with 20grn of AS50N, win AA hulls, w209 primers, AA12 wad with a piece of cork card as a nitrocard behind the RB, a paper patch to make the ball a snug fit in the wad, I didn't cut the petals of the wad as I didn't see the need and reason to do so at the time. I suppose they shot well, did put a hole through a half round fence post. I used 20grn of AS50N because ADI's data recommends 20.4grn for 1235fps for lead shot size 3-12, I cut back to a even 20grn to drop the velocity a bit. Have no idea what my velocity is but it felt quite mild compared to factory slug loads.

@Bob Da Browning. What colour are the 1 1/8 wads? I've pick up a 1oz Lee slug mold and might try you recipe. Any idea of the velocity? how was the recoil?
