'0' Buckshot Loads, Coyote 101

[line052]

No store bought loads for #7, lead. I thought it felt a bit light on the punch. Trying to post the pictures but it having a difficult time. Forum says I am over limit by 24.8 kilobits...whatever that means...arrgghh.

It has been a while since I did any reloading, all my stuff is in boxes in the garage .

I do remember something about wad pressure and crimp pressure being specific to heavy loads. I only reloaded target loads and light field loads in the 12ga but it may be worth looking into. My fear I guess with the light pop on your shoulder would be more about a lack of energy behind the pellets, a low velocity due to something.

It shouldn't matter #7 or buck. If the pellet load is the same weight and velocity is the same the recoil should be the same.

Ya, I understand that and used the right setting on MEC 600 for crimp and wad depth for 12 ga.

Killed a lot of those critters with 2 3/4 " # 2's up to 55 yards.Copper shot and buffer makes a huge difference.
All around best we found was BB's for shots a little longer.Drops em cold.
Lots of guys love 4 buck and larger buckshot for sure.But we found fewer pellets meant less success.

I used to reload and loaded a magnum duck load in low brass shells all the time and had no problems.

Did you try the loads with different chokes or just the one?

[line052]

No only have the chokes that come with barrels. Still a rookie on choke theory and how it works. Trying pictures again
Damn...cant get the pics to load, rebooted and everything.
