20/28 16 gauge load data

Posted by John Pulis on August 25, 2022, 7:46 am

I seem to remember that someone posted 16 load recipe using 20/28 powder, RST hulls, and was it Gulandi or DR 16 wads. If so could some one direct me to that posting. I look back about a year or so but found nothing.

Thanks

John, if you want a softer load, I have been using 14.5 gr. of American Select, 7/8 oz. shot, W-W 209 and BP SP 16 wad in the 2 1/2" RST hulls. I don't have chronograph data, but has been very pleasant and effective in my No. 1 gr. 16 ga. 20/28 is a little too slow for 7/8 oz. In 16 ga.
