Here is an extremely simple and awesome hand load for waterfowl hunting. I worked on this load for a while to tweak it with with available components. In 2023, component shortages are still a problem. However, this is the best patterning steel load I have ever tried out of my Winchester SX4 20ga!

20ga/28” barrel/3” chamber

Two thoughts immediately come to mind. As much as we spend on hunting, with the shot choices we have, personally, I would not use steel shot, it loses velocity much too fast. After doing all that work to get to the decoys, why have to limit your shots to 25 yards? I switched to bismuth, but with the performance of TSS, in the 20ga, would be a duck and good murdering machine. For as few times that we pull the trigger, the cost is negligible, while increasing your range to as far as you can pattern, while using 6’s or 7 shot!

I also use bismuth quite a bit in 10, 12, and 20. I just started using TSS in the 20ga and it’s ridiculous! I have never seen performance like it in my life up until now. Check out my other loading videos for more. Steel still makes sense for some people. If I get cripples I use it. If you’re hunting areas where the shot isn’t ever farther than 30-35 yards, steel is fine.

I'd like to see a vid of flaring the gas seal ,I've never done that or even heard of it. It's been since the early '90s when I last reloaded anything, just getting into reloading for 20ga now as old age and bad shoulders have takin their toll.

Cheddite 209 primers and the primers you have in the new hulls CX 2000 is the exact same thing, I know for experience.

I tested both the standard cx2000 versus the “hot” cheddite primers and got the same results as well. All literature tells me I’m wrong, but it is what it is.

They are the exact same. Cheddite put their primers at the factory in different color but it is the same primer. I'm from Europe and I can tell you what Cheddite makes. Their hottest primers is the CX2000 which is similar to the W209 or Fiocchi, even though Fiocchi is a tad more hotter. They also make CX1000 which is a medium power primer and they also make CX50 a very mild primer for small gauges. Fiocchi same thing, they make 616 which is similar to F209A, the 615 a medium power primer and also 614 very mild primer for small gauges. Same thing with Nobel Sport. For some reasons you can only find this primers in Europe especially in Italy. 👍

Where is that book from, I’m looking at cheddites 5th gen now and not seeing that load data and I’m really trying to find this kind of data for my own waterfowl loads and I’m just starting out

Ballistic products will have it. It’s called the status of steel.

Ok bc i do really like the idea of the number 3/4, have you done anything with TSS stacked with steal? I’m looking for something for those bigger divers/sea ducks because we do get both down here in south Florida

@@FinsNFeathersOutfitters ballistic products also sells the TPS for 20ga which would be a great option as well. Check out there website I think you’ll find a wad that fits your needs for sure. Also, don’t forget about Reloading specialties as they sell a lot of good non-tox reloading components. However, they are old school and you’ll need to call in order to place an order.

Have you sent this load in for pressure testing?
@avidwaterfowler7522
@avidwaterfowler7522 Жыл бұрын
No, I have not. It’s a very similar wad to what I compared to in the manual, and I’m less on the powder charge. It’s up to anyone that uses this information on what they are willing to/not do. If my channel ever gets monetized, I’ll use the proceeds for that purpose.

The only reason I ask is the load seems too good to be true. A true one ounce load at that velocity from a 20 gauge, you would have thought some one would have figured it out by now. Unless everyone who has is keeping it hush hush. Who knows perhaps I will load some and send a batch in for pressure testing. If I do I will let you know what the results are.

@@geoffbaumann1063 well, as I had mentioned it’s not a book load. I will mention in the BPI manual they are getting about the same or more fps with a few more grains of powder and they call for 420gr of shot.
