I'll start with 5K.
When I get some low pressure loads worked up for this wad, and they work well in Cheddite hulls. I will go through 5K to 7.5K a year. |

5K sounds like a good starting point for me.

I'll take a 5K lot.
I've got too many Federal hulls stashed and quite a few Cheddittes, too. It would be nice to be able to load them light without fillers. |

| Will this be a special order only item? Or will it be stocked and available? Anyway I use about 5-7k per year. I'm sure the loading group will add some loads to the spreadsheet so there is data available. Maybe you can get a few thousand out to some folks that could develop some data for the wad. |

lets see - hmmmmm.....
I have 4500 never-fired paper cheddites primed and ready - thats 5k to start
I have 13 cases RGL factory shells - thats another 5k
I have 2500 never-fired primed plastic cheddites - thats another 5k
I have 1500 once-fired winchester AA - thats 2.5 k
and about 5000 more-than-once-fired hulls of mixed origin - thats another 5k
and the beat goes on.....
All I need is load data (prefer green dot and 3/4 ounce loads) and price to make final decision.
Will Graf's carry these wads? (they carry other downrange wads)
Charles - send me some prototypes as suggested by pudelpointer and I will try some loadings and send to Tom A. for pressure tests....
thanks, too  |

Hello folks :
Downrange is doing a full workup on the wad 3/4 OZ , 13/16 OZ , 7/8 OZ a few 15/16 OZ and 1 OZ thrown in for measure .
Powders will be Bullseye , Redot , Greendot , Rex 0 , Rex 1 , Tightwad , ECT , ECT. in this burnrate catagory .
Tests will be at warm and cold temps with pressure and consistancy published.
This will be the broadest and most comprehesive data of any wad on the market listing low pressure to the high pressures , listing low velocity to the ultra high velocitys .
Regards Charles |
