Hi all. Looking for a 1 1/16 oz. load utilizing 800-x for Pheasants. I have both Rem hulls and Chedites. I also have SP-16 wads. Looking for 1280-1300 fps approx.
Thanks. |

I would like to see the same...but may not be feasible. It would be nice however to have a 1300 fps load like that.

You can get to 1300 FPS with an 1 1/8 oz. load and 800-X.
I have a 1270 FPS 1 1/8 oz. load using 800-X. 1 1/8 oz. fits perfectly in a Federal hull using the SP-16.
What's up with 1 1/16 oz? |

I had a 1 1/8 oz load tested, turned out slightly over on pressure. You could drop half a grain of powder or go with your 1 1/16 oz shot to bring in into line. I used the Cheddite case and the so called Cheddite 1632 wad sold by Grafs which increases pressures more than the SP-16.
22.2 gr 800X, Cheddite 209 primer, 1632 wad, 1 1/8 oz nickel plated shot.
1300fps, 11830psi
1304, 11720
1287, 11380
1297, 11460
1301, 11970
1297 ave, 11672 Warning: Above the Saami 11500 psi limit |

I want 1 1/16 because I feel it might pattern a bit better than 1 1/8 with larger shot going through a 16 bore. Looking for a pheas. load with 4's or 5's. It's just a hunch, but I want to test it. |

When you start mixing and matching, things can change in a hurry.
Hodgdon lists 1 1/8 oz Win209 20 gr 800x SP-16 at 1200 fps but 11000psi. 11500 is Saami max. in the 16. |

The load is,
Federal hull
CCI 209 primer
23.0 grains 800-X
SP16 wad
1 1/8 oz. Lawrence Magnum #6
1,270 FPS 9,800 PSI
Just did the patterns this September. Citori with 28" barrels
At 30 yards with the load above
.012" choke - 73% pattern
.023" choke - 93% pattern
At 40 yards with the load above
.012" choke - 44% pattern
.023" choke - 70% pattern
Not sure that dropping 1/16 oz. of shot is going to do much better.
The issue will be that you have to add a filler. Why would you want to to that?
The reason I am questioning you, is that I have a LOT of experience with this load in all types of weather and on pen raised and native birds. I also developed this load about 20 years ago, so I am pretty well aquainted with what works.
The 1200 FPS with the Winchester primer is the reason I went with the CCI 209. 800-X is primer sensitive. CCI 209 and Remington 209 PSTS will create less pressure for equal amounts of powder and allow for higher velocities. 800-X is easy to ignite so no reason to need the hotter primers. |
