ADI Powder Guide

ADI Limited OverviewADI Limited is one of Australia’s foremost defence companies, employing some 2,500 people. ADI is involved in a full range of defence support activities, from ammunition production through to the installation and commissioning of complex ship management and radar systems. ADI is proud of its position in the Australian market, and constantly strives to improve its performance through investment and innovation. ADI has 116 years of experience in ammunition manufacture and 93 years of powder production. The company can trace its roots to the Colonial Ammunition Company (1888, Footscray, Victoria) and the Cordite Factory (1911, Maribyrnong, Victoria). Since then we have seen many changes, but one constant has been our commitment to providing quality ammunition and components for use in the defence of our country. ADI’s ammunition and propellant capabilities have kept pace with rapid developments in applied technology. ADI’s expertise and capability in energetic materials is second-to-none in our region. It now extends to production of: • insensitive rocket motor-propellant • motor filling • insensitive warhead filling • propellant for the Australian Army’s 25mm Bushmaster cannon ammunition. Australia’s sporting shooters have used ADI Sporting Powders for some years now. They are available on the Australian market as a direct result of our defence commitment; they are used by discerning shooters across the globe as a result of our international partnership. We are sure that our commitment to quality, innovation and our customers will see us at the forefront of powder development and manufacture for many years to come. Shoot With The Best Dear Shooter It is with great pleasure that I present the 4th Edition of our reloading guide. You will certainly notice some differences in this edition, the least of which is that we have rebranded our powders since the last edition. Firstly, we have updated our labels and packaging as a result of the input and expectations of you, our customer. As part of the Thales – Transfield group, ADI is part of a strong and focussed international business and looks forward to serving the industry for many years to come. Secondly, you will notice more data! Through our strong partnership with Hodgdon Powder Co. Inc. of the USA, we offer a reliable, much expanded range of data in this guide. Data for many obscure and unusual cartridges, as well as new cartridges has been included. The data has been fired under controlled conditions to ensure safety and repeatability. You will now see additional information including minimum and recommended starting loads. All of our reloading information is also now available via the internet from our database located at: www.adi-limited.com/handloaders-guide. Finally, you will notice changes to the range of powders offered. We have, and will continue to add new powders to our product range as they are developed as a result of your requirements and feedback. We will discontinue powders for which demand has almost ceased or duplication exists. I hope you find this guide a valuable tool, and wish to thank you for your support over the years through the continued purchase of ADI Sporting Powders. Happy Reloading.

ADI's range of powders offers the sporting shooter all the reliability, consistency and high performance they demand. This range of quality powders has been tested under the most rigorous conditions during development and production to produce a state-of-the-art product. These powders offer the right burning rates for every weapon type from shotguns to large calibre rifles. All ADI powders are manufactured to the highest international standards. They are backed by a comprehensive product development and technical support service. If you choose to reload, choose ADI Sporting Powders and SHOOT WITH THE BEST. Shotgun and Pistol Powders ADI shotgun powders are exceptionally clean burning and are available in a range of burning rates for 12, 20 and 28 gauge cartridges. For sporting pistol shooters, ADI offers a range of powders with clean burning properties similar to shotgun powders. Covering the range of calibres from .25 ACP to .50 Action Express, ADI pistol powders perform with ultimate repeatability and reliability. Rifle Powders For rifles, the ADI sporting powders range is a product of our extensive experience in developing propellants for the Australian Defence Force. ADI offers a range of powders for most calibres from .17 Remington to 0.50 BMG. These unique sporting powders offer great repeatability under a wide range of ambient temperatures. 5 ADI Sporting Powders ADI’s range of sporting powders cater for the full range of burning rate requirements from the fast burning handgun and shotgun powders right down to the very slow large calibre rifle powders. The shotgun powders are all disc powders, double base in composition, covering a wide range of applications in 12, 20 and 28 gauge loads. All the shotgun powders are exceptionally clean burning. All ADI handgun powders are smaller diameter disc powders manufactured for uniform metering through powder loaders. The faster burning powders are double base in composition for increased energy. The slower burning powders are single base for use in heavy loads. All the handgun powders are exceptionally clean burning when loaded correctly. All the rifle powders are single perforated tubular propellants of single base composition. ADI's experience in developing powders for the Australian Defence Force has shown that powders with these characteristics are suitable for use in extreme climatic conditions. Consequently, all the rifle powders have, as a feature, low ballistic temperature coefficients; that is, velocities and pressures do not vary greatly with ambient temperature unlike most of the other rifle powders that are available for reloading. In addition, the powders all have good loading characteristics with respect to bulk density and uniformity of metering through powder loaders. They are also very clean burning at normal loads. All ADI sporting powders are packaged as UN class 1, Hazard Division 1.3C. (mass fire risk). ADI powders are packed in 500g, 1kg, 2kg, or 4kg containers, depending upon the type of powder. ADI is Australia's leading manufacturer of high quality, proven powders for sporting applications.

For the safety of purchaser and others, ADI powders must be used in accordance with the latest edition of the ADI Smokeless Powders Handloader's Guide. Overloading, incorrect storage or improper use can result in personal injury or death to the user and/or other persons as well as damage to property. It is essential that users of ADI powders: • Follow the recommendations of the ADI Smokeless Powders Handloader's Guide by not exceeding the maximum loads. • Use only the latest reloading data. • Keep the powders out of reach of children and those persons unfamiliar with the properties of smokeless powders. • Store the powders in a cool, dry and safe place with the lid tightly closed. • Check the powders at least once per year for any signs of deterioration as described below. • Store all powders in the original containers. • Do not smoke in areas where ADI powders are stored and used. • Do not have loaded firearms in areas where ADI powders are stored and used. 2. Loading data provided within the ADI Smokeless Powders Handloader's Guide has been compiled from many sources including actual ballistic testing by ADI under controlled conditions and published loading/ballistic information available in the literature. The ballistic performance of smokeless powders varies considerably depending upon factors such as the type of firearm being used and its condition, the particular components being used in a cartridge with a powder,the reloading techniques used, the actual batch of the powder being loaded, weather conditions at the time of firing, etc. Therefore, it is not possible for the loading data in the ADI Smokeless Powders Handloader's Guide (or any other similar manual) to be other than a guide to a safe load for any particular application. Exceeding the recommended loading data will increase the chance of obtaining unsafe pressures and may result in damage and/or personal injury or even death. 3. While ADI controls the burning rate of its various smokeless powders within tight limits at the time of manufacture, all other factors affecting the ballistic performance of these powders at the time of use are outside ADI's control. ADI therefore disclaims any and all warranties concerning the use of its various smokeless powders for any particular application. ADI does not assume, nor does it authorise any person to assume for it, any liability in connection with the use of any product or data. 4. The buyer of ADI Smokeless Powders assumes the risk of having to follow safe loading practices otherwise damage and/or severe personal injury (including death) may occur. 5. NEVER substitute ADI Smokeless Powders for black powder or Pyrodex® or mix smokeless powders with these materials. NEVER use ADI smokeless powders in black powder firearms, saluting cannons or similar devices. Any of these practices may result in the firearm blowing apart resulting in property damage, personal injury or even death. 6. Store smokeless powders in a cool dry place separate from solvents, flammable gases and other combustible materials. Ensure that the storage area selected is free from any possible source of excess heat and is isolated from open flame, hot water heaters, furnaces, chimneys, flue pipes, etc. Avoid storing smokeless powders in areas which may be heated by the sun or where electrical, electronic or mechanical equipment is operated. Do not allow containers of powder to contact walls of storage areas which are exposed on the other side to sunlight or other form of heating. Any such form of heating or ignition may result in a fire, either immediately or after some time due to accelerated chemical 15 WARNINGS ADI SMOKELESS PROPELLANTS deterioration and subsequent spontaneous ignition. An average storage temperature below 25° C is recommended to obtain a safe shelf life of at least 10 years from the date of packing. Increased storage temperature will reduce the safe shelf life significantly—by approximately one-third for every 10° C above 25° C. 7. All smokeless powders deteriorate chemically as they get older. This rate of deterioration can be accelerated by storage in warm conditions, exposure to other chemicals and exposure to direct sunlight etc. Any such deterioration may ultimately lead to a fire through spontaneous ignition of the powder. CHECK containers of smokeless powder for possible chemical deterioration through age or inadequate storage. Yearly checks are recommended wherever average daily summer temperatures exceed 30° C. Where average daily summer temperatures are usually below 30° C checks should be made every two years. Chemical deterioration may ultimately lead to spontaneous ignition of the powder. Chemical deterioration of smokeless powder can be recognised by carefully smelling the contents of the container. Any deterioration produces an acrid, acidic odour quite different from the normal sweet smelling odours of ethanol or ether which are usually present. Rusting of metal surfaces exposed to smokeless powder can also indicate deterioration. 8. Deteriorated smokeless powder should be disposed of by carefully burning it in thin layers (not more than 10mm deep)in small quantities (never more than 500 gram) in an isolated location (at least 10 metres from any other combustible material). DO NOT LIGHT THE POWDER DIRECTLY. Always use an ignition train of slow burning combustible material so that you are able to retreat to a safe distance before the powder ignites. 16 9. Store ADI Smokeless Powders in their original containers which have been approved for that purpose. Storage cabinets used for storage of containers of Smokeless powders should be constructed of insulating materials with weak walls, seams or joints to provide easy venting in the event of a fire. Such storage cabinets should not be located on walls where heating on the other side (by the sun or other heating arrangement) will occur. 10. DO NOT SMOKE in areas where smokeless powder is stored or used. 11. DO NOT HAVE LOADED FIREARMS in areas where ADI Smokeless Powders are stored or used—accidental or intended operation of the firearm may cause ignition of smokeless powder, either by direct ignition of powder in the open or through bullet impact on containers of powders. 12. Do not cut, pierce or puncture powder containers. 13. ADI rifle powders are designed to give less ballistic variation with temperature changes than regular smokeless powders. This does not mean that ballistics will never change with temperature. The extent to which change is minimised depends upon many factors including the calibre,primer brand and projectile weight. Care should always be taken to ensure that any particular load is safe at the extreme temperatures at which it will be used. 14. Smokeless powders can change their moisture reasonably quickly if exposed to the atmosphere. Any change of moisture can affect the powder burning rate and the effectiveness or safety of a particular load. Always minimise the exposure of any smokeless powder to the atmosphere during loading. Use minimum quantities of powder at any time in powder loaders and keep lids on containers tightly closed at all times. Do not keep powders in loaders for long periods of time. In this way you are more likely to preserve the appropriate level of moisture for the lot of the powder in use and obtain WARNINGS ADI SMOKELESS PROPELLANTS consistent reliable ballistic performances from every load. 15. Follow the hints on Reloading Safety given in the ADI Smokeless Powders Reloader's Guide. Remember that smokeless powders and ammunition are explosive and that firearms are only designed to operate within safe working limits and are not indestructible. The wrong combination of powder burning rate, charge weight, cartridge components and weapon can be disastrous. ALWAYS TAKE EXTREME CAUTION when you are reloading. 16. Never mix any varieties of powder,regardless of their type, brand or source. 17. Do not salvage powder from old cartridges, and do not mix new and salvaged powder. 18. Always store powder in the smallest practical quantities. If you have large quantities of powder, do not maintain it all in one place only. Spread your containers, and remember that small containers are safer than large containers. 17 RELOADING SAFETY ADI SMOKELESS PROPELLANTS Reloading 1. TheseSafety instructions on Reloading Safety should be read in conjunction with the Warnings section. 2. Take care at all times - items and equipment used for reloading can all be dangerous if mishandled or abused. 3. Keep reloading components out of the reach of children - in particular powder, primers and lead projectiles. 4. Keep powder away from other combustible material and from possible sources of ignition. 5. Do not keep old powders, salvaged powders or powders of uncertain origins. 6. Do not smoke in areas where powder is stored or while handling powder or primers. 7. Only store powder in its original container to avoid the risk of the powder being mislabelled. 8. Do not leave any powder or primers in reloading press or in powder/primer dispensers after handloading is completed. 9. Clean up spilled powder promptly. Use a brush and dustpan. Do not use a vacuum cleaner. Keep the waste powder under water in a suitable container until it can be disposed of safely. Do not accumulate large amounts of waste powder. 10. Each ADI Smokeless Powder has specific burning rate and bulking characteristics determined by its composition, geometry and manufacturing process. The factors are carefully controlled during manufacture to ensure consistent ballistic performance. Do not attempt to mix or blend different powders as such mixtures may produce dangerous and erratic velocities and pressures. 11. Develop a strict routine for reloading operations and avoid distraction such as television, visitors etc. 18 12. Recheck each operation for safety and uniformity. 13. Double check critical points like powder type, projectile weight and diameter before starting. 14. Only have one powder type and one projectile type in the actual working area while reloading. 15. Do not trim cases below the minimum design length for any calibre. 16. Ensure that cases are not deformed and are free of body splits, mouth cracks, enlarged primer pockets, enlarged flash holes and any foreign matter. Only use cases which are dry (but do not dry cases by direct heating or in an oven above 150° C). 17. Check projectiles for damage and ensure that lead projectiles are free from casting defects. 18. Always wear safety glasses or goggles while reloading and wear gloves while handling lead projectiles. 19. Owing to the effect of variations within allowable manufacturing tolerances for cartridge components made by different manufacturers, weapon variations and conditions, operating temperatures etc, pressures developed by any given rifle or pistol load can vary significantly from those that apply to our recommended loads. It is therefore essential that loads be worked up from a charge weight lower than the recommended maximum, watching for any signs of excessive pressure (difficult extraction, gas leaks, flattened or blown primers, unusual recoil or expanded case heads). Loads can then be worked up to safe comfortable levels providing signs of excessive pressure are not observed. If signs of excessive pressure are noticed then loads must be reduced until they are at least 5% lower than the load at which the excessive pressure signs were first noted. RELOADING SAFETY ADI SMOKELESS PROPELLANTS 20. Take special care when working up trial loads with slow burning powders in large calibre cartridges. Light loads in some calibres may produce occasional dangerously high pressures. It is suggested that minimum loads in large calibre cartridges should not be reduced below about 75% case capacity. 21. Keep detailed records of your safe loads for your weapons and consult them before reloading. However, be prepared to work them up again whenever you change the lot of powder or alter the weapon. Normally a starting reduction of 5% in charge weight is all that should be necessary when you change lots of powder. 22. Never exceed maximum recommended loads. 23. Carry out frequent check weighing of powder charges thrown either by a hand operated powder measure or reloading press to ensure the setting has not changed. At least five charges should be used for each check using a good set of powder scales. 24. Because many recommended loads (especially for pistols) do not fill the cartridge case it is essential that, prior to bullet seating, each filled case is individually inspected to ensure that it contains only a single charge. Never load a cartridge with a double charge as excessively dangerous pressures are certain to occur. After bullet seating, the cartridge overall length must be individually checked to ensure that it has not fallen below the minimum design value where excessive dangerous pressures may be experienced. 25. Ensure that all reloaded cartridges are free from oil, grease, excess lead bullet lubricant and any other foreign matter prior to firing. 26. Never attempt to decap live primers from a cartridge case. Primed cases or cartridges should always be fired in a firearm to destroy the primer. NOTE: Whenever practicable, avoid loading to maximum possible velocity. Experienced shooters know that velocities which are somewhat slower than maximum will usually give the best accuracy while helping to prolong weapon and barrel life and making shooting more comfortable.

These loads are for use with lead shot only. They must not be used with steel shot under any circumstances. NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOADS. SHOTGUN Introduction Shotgun The shotgun data for this edition was developed through the use of pressure/proof barrels. All loads for standard cartridges adhere to the guidelines provided by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI). Loads have been listed in a convenient presentation that lists all components used for a given set of data. The data shown is to be used for lead shot only and should not be used with steel or bismuth shot. Never substitute components when loading shotshells using this data. Substitution of different components could cause excessive or unsafe pressures, which may result in damage to your firearm and/or personal injury. Velocity Velocity is measured electronically with the use of two magnetic sightscreens. The screens measure the time taken for the shot to pass through the screens. Screens are set at 3 feet apart with the first screen positioned 1½ feet from the muzzle. Pressure Pressures have been measured electronically with a transducer as pounds per square inch (psi). This method utilises a pressure transducer, which rests against the cartridge in the chamber. When the cartridge is fired, the gases cause the shotgun shell to expand against the pressure transducer. Loading Instructions When loading, weigh actual charges thrown by the bushing or charge bar. Bushing or charge bars do not throw the exact powder charge as listed in the tables. Charge weight variations occur because of small tolerances in bushing sizes, tolerances in bulk density of powder and the way each loader is mounted and operated. It is essential that charges being dropped are verified for safety and to ensure you are obtaining the charge weight listed. 22 SHOTGUN Shotgun 12 Gauge 2¾" (70mm) ACTIV Plastic Cases Weight: 24g - (7/8 oz) POWDER AS30N -

It also shows the recommended starting load for some configurations. Pressure variations, due to different components; weapons; weapon conditions and powder lots, are relatively greater for pistols than for rifles. Therefore, for your first load, use the starting load; if no starting load is shown, it is essential that you use 20% less than the maximum load. To work up to your safe load, increase the starting load by no more than 2% at a time. The pistol loads shown are for jacketed projectiles unless otherwise specified. NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOADS. PISTOL Introduction Pistol The pistol data for this edition was developed through the use of pressure/proof barrels. All loads for standard cartridges adhere to the guidelines provided by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI). For data on obsolete or less popular cartridges where a pressure/proof barrel was not available, maximum loads were obtained by firings in actual firearms while noting visual case head signs such as flat or cratered primers, difficult extraction and measured case heads. Velocity Velocities for all cartridges listed are limited by the SAAMI maximum allowable pressures. Minimum loads are also established by pressure. Loads with very low pressure may fail to function in very cold weather, resulting in a projectile becoming lodged in the bore (please see the Warnings section of this guide). The average loss in velocity from the listed pressure/proof barrel data when using a 4 5/8" barrelled revolver is 175 fps. A 7 1/2 inch revolver will lose approximately 50 fps. Velocity is measured electronically with the use of two infrared sightscreens. The screens measure the time taken for the projectile to pass through the screens. Screens are set at 20 feet apart with the first screen positioned 5 feet from the muzzle. Pressure Pressures are listed in either copper units of pressure (cup) or pounds per square inch (psi). Copper units of pressure (cup) is determined mechanically using a copper slug called a "crusher". The crusher is placed in a fixture over the chamber where a hole passes through the barrel to the chamber. When the cartridge is fired, the resulting gases cause the "crusher" to flatten. The "crusher" is then measured and the result is then converted to pressure in by comparing to a tarage table. PSI is measured electronically with the use of a pressure transducer. The pressure transducer rests against the cartridge when loaded in the chamber. When the cartridge is fired, the gases cause the brass to expand against the pressure transducer. Loading Instructions When working up a load, the reloader should always begin with the starting load, advance in small increments, watch for pressure signs and begin again if changing components. Generally, the best powder choice is the powder, which most fills the case for the intended velocity while still remaining clean burning. Most cartridges have only a certain number of appropriate powders. Those cartridges that are more versatile can use a wider range of propellant burning rates. For others, lesser numbers of propellants will give optimum results. Most often, slower burning powders are more suitable with heavy bullets, while faster powders are better with lighter projectiles. Most reloaders like a powder that delivers near maximum or maximum results throughout the range of projectiles, but that is not always obtainable, since some cartridges have too wide a range of bullets for any one burning rate to be ideal. The handloader that seriously loads for any given cartridge will choose different components (primer, powders, projectiles, cases) in varying combinations to obtain the best overall performance and accuracy. The handloader reloads to save money, but also reloads to improve accuracy and performance, creating special loads he cannot find on the dealers’ shelves. 38 PISTOL Pistol CALIBRE BULLET WEIGHT (grains) POWDER TYPE .17 Bumble Bee 10" Barrel AR2205 25 .22 Hornet (TCU) 10" Barrel 45 AR2205 .22 Remington Jet (TCU) 10" Barrel 40 AP100 40 AR2205 AP100 45 45 AR2205 .221 Remington Fireball 10 3/4" Barrel AR2205 40 45 AR2205 45 AR2207 AR2205 50 50 AR2207 AR2205 53 53 AR2207 55 AR2205 AR2207 55 60 AR2205 60 AR2207 .222 Remington (TCU) 10" Barrel 45 AR2207 50 AR2207 AR2207 52-53 55 AR2207 .25 ACP 2" Barrel AP70N 35 50 AP50N 50 AP70N .256 Winchester Magnum 10" Barrel 60 AR2205 60 AR2207 AR2205 75 87 AR2205 87 AR2207 7mm (TCU) 14" Barrel 100 AR2207 120 AR2205 AR2207 120 STARTING LOADS POWDER VELOCITY PRESSURE WEIGHT (fps) (Grains) MAXIMUM LOADS POWDER VELOCITY PRESSURE WEIGHT (fps) (grains) 6.0 2,033 -

It also shows the recommended starting load for some configurations. For your first load, use the starting load; if no starting load is shown, use 10% less than the maximum load. To work up to your safe load, increase the load by 3% at a time. The rifle loads shown are for jacketed projectiles unless otherwise specified. NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOADS. RIFLE Rifle Introduction The rifle data for this edition was developed through the use of pressure/proof barrels. All loads for standard cartridges adhere to the guidelines provided by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI). For data on obsolete or less popular cartridges where a pressure/proof barrel was not available, maximum loads were obtained by firings in actual firearms while noting visual case head signs such as flat or cratered primers, difficult extraction and measured case heads. Velocity Velocity is measured electronically with the use of two infrared sightscreens. The screens measure the time taken for the projectile to pass through the screens. Screens are set at 20 feet apart with the first screen positioned 5 feet from the muzzle. Velocities for all cartridges listed are limited by the SAAMI maximum allowable pressures. The average change in velocity from the listed pressure barrel data is approximately 35 to 50 fps for each inch of barrel length. Pressure Where listed, pressures are in pounds per square inch (psi). If no pressure is listed then the pressure was measured mechanically with copper units of pressure (cup). These pressures have not been listed to avoid confusion between the two pressure units. PSI is measured electronically with the use of a pressure transducer. The pressure transducer rests against the cartridge when loaded into the chamber. When the cartridge is fired, the gases cause the brass to expand against the pressure transducer and the results are measured. Loading Instructions When working up a load, the reloader should always begin with the starting load, advance in small increments, watch for pressure signs and begin again if changing components. Generally, the best powder choice is the powder, which most nearly fills the case for the intended velocity. Most cartridges have only a certain number of appropriate powders. Those cartridges that are more versatile can use a wider range of propellant burning rates. For others, lesser numbers of propellants will give optimum results. Most often, slower burning powders are more suitable with heavy bullets, while faster powders are better with lighter projectiles. Most reloaders like a powder that delivers near maximum or maximum results throughout the range of projectiles, but that is not always obtainable, since some cartridges (like the 30-06) have too wide a range of projectiles for any one burning rate to be ideal. The handloader that seriously loads for any given cartridge will choose different components (primer, powders, projectiles, cases) in varying combinations to obtain the best overall performance and accuracy. The handloader reloads to save money, but also reloads to improve accuracy and performance, creating special loads that cannot be found on the dealers’ shelves. 52 RIFLE Rifle CALIBRE BULLET WEIGHT (grains) 17 Hornet (Ackley) 24" Barrel 25 25 17 Bee (Ackley) 22" Barrel 25 25 17 Mach IV 24" Barrel 25 25 17 -

Many of these loads were developed through an extensive program by the Hodgdon Powder Company Inc. of the USA, to whom we are indebted for their contribution. Single Action Data Introduction Velocities for all cartridges listed are limited by the SAAMI maximum allowable pressures. Minimum loads are established by pressure. Loads with very low pressure may fail to function in very cold weather, resulting in a bullet becoming lodged in the bore (please see the Warnings section of this guide). The average loss in velocity from the listed pressure barrel data when using a 4 5/8-inch barrelled revolver is 175 fps. A 7 1/2 inch revolver will lose approximately 50 fps. Carbines will generally develop velocities similar to those listed in the data. Some carbine/cartridge combinations will exceed the velocities listed. Because of a wide variation in bullet diameter, chamber diameter, cylinder gap, case capacity and manufacturing variations in primers and powder, we suggest that you chronograph loads from your own firearms. DO NOT LOAD BELOW MINIMUM RECOMMENDATIONS. Doing so could result in a bullet stuck in the bore. Long Range Rifle Data The loads listed below are representative of common calibres used. As there are so many cartridges which could be used, only a few are shown. 128 DO NOT USE ANY FILLER MATERIAL WITH THESE LOADS, as fillers can alter pressure and velocities decidedly. Velocities are limited to approximately 1,600 fps due to excessive leading at higher velocities. Use flat point bullets in tubular magazines. Shotgun Any load suitable for trap or skeet is suitable for Single Action shooting. Shot loads of 7/8 oz., 1 oz. and 1 1/8 oz. are all that is required. Heavier loads generate more recoil and are, at best, unpleasant to shoot and, at worst, add time to your score. The loads included in this guide were selected for their performance and for component availability. Remember: 1. Smooth shells come out of a double-barrelled shotgun better than ribbed shells. 2. NO STEEL SHOT. 3. NO SHOT LARGER THAN #4. Size 6, 7 1/2 and 8 are most common. 4. CHECK YOUR RELOADS IN YOUR GUN FOR PROPER FUNCTION. *Damascus barrels should be considered unsafe with ANY powder. SINGLE ACTION RIFLE Single Action Rifle CALIBRE STARTING LOADS POWDER VELOCITY
