Since they were sufficiently discounted and I needed some new hulls... new primed Fiocchi hulls will arrive today.

While I've reviewed the available resources (these forums, mfg. published data, the spreadsheets), my findings are less than impressive and I'm still pondering what direction to go w/ powder...

So... for the good of the order.... your thoughts on efficient powder choice for 1 oz in the 1100 to 1280 fps range? A published source to go with the load would be a welcome addition to the conversation.

Cheers!

There a quite a few loads using the Fiocchi hull......for powder a good place to start is Alliant Green Dot.

Follow the link below. You will have to sign up with uk.yahoo which is different thqn us.yahoo. Lots of loads for other hulls too.

Thanks for the reference Mark.... I have check there for updates periodically. Ran the drill down / filter / sort functions through excel to compile and over analyze all the options.... because that's what engineers do... some times. Decent results for the subject combination and a few others that are of interest.

Pretty well decided to go w/ Unique as a good multi-tasker w/ a few pistol rounds in the inventory as well.

Currently using Longshot for my RGL / WinAA16 1 oz combo and am pleased with that.

Looks like Longshot will be a decent choice for the Fiocchi hulls if bismuth becomes necessary.

Cheers,
jpm

Glad you found a load that works for you.

I loaded up some Unique in a 7/8oz. Load. I like it, but the pheasants haven’t so far!!
