RSI 66? With #2 is a killer load.

that is sam results that i seen 22 years ago......when load your own the confidance level goes up for onething the shot is same and powder ect per each shell instead of factory being less or more per each....we shoot alot of rsi 64 with couple extra grains of powder and gets them right up there at 1510 fps and 10000-10200 psi...
congrates on getting in reloading game..

Thanks fellas. 65 Jarbo unless I have it backwards with 64.

Nice, you got that chrony yet? How fast are they going? You try any with three slits yet? How about with buffer?

You should quit now while your ahead lol!

[Flightstopper]

Chrony is next but probably won't be until summer. Haven't even considered buffer yet making sure I have "step one" down first, make a shell that goes boom but not too much boom

[jarbo03]

Listen to John, if it patterned good and kills birds, stop now, a slippery slope lies right in front of you!:lol::lol::lol:

I've got the edge of the cliff in my fingertips but they just let go. Oh well screwed from the start I'm sure you feel you can always do better

[jarbo03]

I know what you mean. Years later and I still can not heed my own advice.

Congrats. Sounds like you found a load that compliments your gun. Feels good, don't it?

I suppose I could give you some feedback on these rounds, probably gonna need a case to get a good sampling though.

Don't even pull the trigger on one because there is no going back from there. Be surprised how bad my Kent's patterned

I love it when a plan comes together.

just a thought if run out of alliant steel and need some powder another good load that works in any temps is with 800x powder and goes right at 1400 fps which is plenty fast...i have used this load for years before the steel powder came out and is more avaible at local gun shops ect....hav used this load with first wads avaible to reloaders was in kits way back when steel shot was first mandated(shot and wadsin kit)..then i used and still have the mec wads..have used rsi 2 3/4 wads also and have tried the 1 1/8 b and p wads also with good results with the 800x..gold medal hull either win209 or cci209m and above said wads with 25 grains of 800x with 1 1/8oz of steel shot.

we load 2's,3''s,4's,b's,bb's and can not forget 1's with this load and have been since the late 80's....with steel powder you can get same velocity as this load with the load that canon likes and seems that it has a percieved less kick per my wife which says that is going to be her only load she wants too shoot at ducks/geese now...I'm asumming that is what you shot and out patterned the factory shells with...
reloads once get into it is so much better then factory shells its really no brainer in long run...have exactly right amount of shot(round not flat ect)/powder in each hull and not have the inconsistancy's of factory and mass producing with speed and volume of shells produced with certain percent of error is ok in each shell....I had some people come and hunt with us this year and left there factory shells in blind and i latter shot some of those shells just to see how factory shells are with new tecnology so they say...but after few shots i went right back to my reloads....and used them for cripples and keeped the hulls for reloading...the factory shells were remington nitro steel 1 1/4oz of 2's and when i shot at the big honkers that normally just roll out with 2 3/4 1400fps of 2's i hit first goose (was falling down hit hard so i thought),went to next goose hit it hard so i thought...to make long story short both geese got up and flew off. chase was on got to both geese they jumped up killed both at same distance stone dead with my reloads(less shot same speed) so it says they are going 1400 with 3" 11/4oz remingtons on box.....patterns way different that was found out when shot into big drift wood snag at 40 yards holes every were with remington factory shells...shot from my remington 1100 with adapted 10 gauge tube...

one thing is your confidence goes way up/plus it nice to say your reloads pounded them up


good shootin
