Hey guys here’s an update. Start off at 37 grains of lil gun for the 1 1/4 ounce load and roll crimp it. Upon further review we think that load may be a bit hot. As always load at your own risk. The data we used for that load may not be accurate from the listed psi.

[@joemathews278]

I even bought a lot of activ hulls before they became obsolete.

[@joemathews278]

You got my number no rotocall stuff here for sure. I'll help you in your 16 gauge quest.

[@Recargasygambiarras]

Calobre 16 gauge um clássico! Parabéns pela recarga like garantido👏👏👏👏

[@RA-ze4tq]

Well done young man! It's nice to see the new generation picking up the torch us old guys have loved all along. The 16 is a true gentleman's gauge. I have shot everything and there is just something special about that guage. It's just right! Well done!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Thanks man

[@joemathews278]

Good content i love you adding 16 loads to your videos!. I actually have thousands of once fired cf 16 hauge hulls on hand lol Keep it up!!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Best hulls ever made

[@joemathews278]

Yes sir I bought about 20 thousand when they were available maybe thirty

[@CodyTharp-ij6uq]

New to reloading seems like a great channel to learn on I would like to see 12ga 2-3/4 4shot or 6shot lead and see how it patterns

[@theshotgunscientists]

I can do that

[@joeltowle2737]

I have some older Winchester 16ga hulls!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Nice

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

I’m looking into adding another shotgun in 16ga. Do you have a favorite 16ga. Shotgun , at least one that won’t break the Bank 🏦. Thanks for another great video.

Tristar viper g2

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

@@theshotgunscientists thanks, I have a TriStar Viper G2 in 28Ga. and I love it. I was looking at The Browning Sweet 16 Lightning and I really liked the looks of it. But you think the TriStar is a better weapon?

[@theshotgunscientists]

If you have money for a browning go for it. I’ve never shot one of the new browning A5’s but I know they’re great. Owned the tristar for well over a year now with over 1000 rounds in it and can’t remember having a malfunction so it’s a good id feel comfortable recommending too.

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

@@theshotgunscientists I think I’ll stick with the TriStar , that’ll save me a good chunk of money to buy all the stuff to start reloading for it too. Thanks for your input.

[@theshotgunscientists]

@@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984 thanks for watching

[@casey442]

More 16!!

[@HMuny55]

How did you get into this? You have a lot of knowledge on reloading.

[@theshotgunscientists]

I got a 16 gauge shotgun and didn’t wanna pay the extra few dollars a box for shells. All my life I saved every hull or brass case I shot because I knew one day I would be reloading them. Same with josh. He saved everything he shot.

[@AllSeasonsOutdoorsmen]

You guys ever duplex loads? Been wondering how a duplexed load with #9 TSS on bottom with #5 bismuth on top for ducks and #7 TSS on bottom with #3 bismuth on top for geese would do using 1/2 OZ TSS in both and 7/8 OZ bismuth. Bullet225HO loads duplexed .410 and 28 gauge with 8.5 TSS and #4 steel and it seems to work well but I have yet to see anyone do TSS and bismuth.

[@theshotgunscientists]

With lead yes. Just getting started with bismuth and tss.

[@danielnalepinski3884]

I use the roto-metal #5's in my .50 cal seneca wingshot2. It patterns and performs well. But they deffinately are not perfectly round.

[@theshotgunscientists]

They still patterned great for us

[@Duckslayer1096]

12 gauge and test pattern. Trying do determine if bismuth is worth the money.

[@theshotgunscientists]

We will do 12 gauge. In my opinion bismuth is definitely worth it. Hits way harder than steel.

[@TherealMcCoy017]

I'd love to see some more bismuth loads for 20 gauge. Particularly something above 1300 fps.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Can do

[@sebastianmassarotto5603]

Tyler you have any experience with herco powder in 16 and 20 guage got to say love the videos

[@theshotgunscientists]

I’ve never been able to get any Herco

[@Natedawg770]

Another banger!

[@theshotgunscientists]

Thanks man.

[@PatternChief]

Is the Win CF load tested data?

[@theshotgunscientists]

Yes but the data called for a waa16 wad which is discontinued so I used the claybuster clone. I can’t remember where I found the data but I think it was from a manual one of my friends sent me photos of. It was a really good patterning load.

[@PatternChief]

@@theshotgunscientists Cool, I think I’ll give it a try. I do have 209As, but if I used W209s should lower pressure a bit?

[@theshotgunscientists]

@@PatternChief it being a weaker primer I would think so. If you want you could start at 18 grains and work up. I personally would anyway.

[@PatternChief]

@@theshotgunscientists I just loaded up a box with 24.5 grains, 24 or 23 would probably have been a safer bet. Everything out there is for the SP16. Not sure how it compares, but the CB clone is definitely taller.

[@theshotgunscientists]

The cb clone will hold 1 3/8 ounces of lead when compressed using a fold crimp. I’ve never been able to do it with an sp16.

[@zekehensley8199]

More 12 ga in the #5 and 6 shot

[@theshotgunscientists]

I don’t have 5 or 6 shot but you can load whatever size you want too all that matters is the payload weight for the data

[@fishtanktv.comdustinsfisht8670]

I wonder if the warden would be bent out over the original casings being lead loads

[@theshotgunscientists]

That’s interesting actually

[@fishtanktv.comdustinsfisht8670]

@@theshotgunscientists All I know is that by me they mind everything.
