remington 16ga reloading assist please

bobski

just shot up a flat of these 16ga loads and they worked fine for skeet. i hate to chuck them, so anyone have some data to reload these back to 1oz or 1 1/8oz/1200fps with SP-16 wads? i tend to use 4756 for my 16ga loads. thanks!

Here you go.

Remington SP case, plastic basewad.

1 1/8 oz

22 grains 4756

Rem SP16

Win 209 Primer

1231 FPS

10,600 LUP

Right from my Lyman book.

Hope this helps

does it show anything for one step down? im thinking maybe go 21gr to get it closer to 1200 with a lower lup.
what ya think?

I just checked the IMR powder guide, and it lists a drop to 1175 fps if you use a Fed. 209 primer instead of the Winchester.

It still calls for an SP16 wad and 22 grains of 4756.

I like 4756 powder. It's a bit dirty burning, but it seems to be very easy to adjust loads with it without running into problems.

19 grains of 800-X, Fed 209A, and Rem SP16 is listed at 10,800 and 1200 fps on the nose.

22 grains of 7625, Rem 209P primer, and a SP16 wad is also listed dead on at 1200 fps.
