Yup, straight up trying to copy the FC wad. This is my first hand rolled 00 buck , enjoy
Ballistic Products BP12 wad, has a 1/ 4“ felt for cushion and sits on a BP gas seal. They come unslit so you can slit them in any way you can think of
10 pellet load 1.15 oz
24.5 grains of Alliant Herco
17 grains of #47 Ballistic Products buffer
Federal Top Gun (breast cancer awareness edition) paper base wad .Powder in, wad set in and pellets stacked in 5 layers of 2 pellets. Fit nice right to the top of the wad and that is important for a good crimp
Buffer in .
20 gauge over shot card so buffer stays put. I notice factory shells use a sort of glue for this seal.
Crimped. I need to adjust this as it swelled the shell slightly but it feeds and ejects.
1275 FPS from Lyman Shotshell Handbook 5th edition
I’ll post a target after I shoot it.
