Re: Reloading Buck and Ball in 12g
Nope. I've looked into it, and those that have don't give out much info. I have played with the Dixie Tri Ball, which is 3 .60 cal round balls. Nasty load. Between length and recoil, I settled on a 2 ball load that is accurate, and deadly out to over 50 yards. The Tri-ball is something like 2.4 oz. It will kill anything in North America, and whatever is standing next to it.

Re: Reloading Buck and Ball in 12g
I did some initial testing with 5x #4 buck under a 1oz foster and 22gr of 800x. It shot well at 15yd
And opened up a ton at 25yd. That was with straight hull roll
Crimp and gas check. I just made a box of new
Loads to test, that I was able to get a *perfect* stack height for fold crimping in taper hulls. May take
A few weeks to test them out..

New loads
I have a good stack using #0 buck, but it weighs out at 750gn, so I*ll need some test mule work before going that heavy and maybe going to a slower powderSigGendered
