LOAD OF THE WEEK 2010/03/05
PEST CONTROL - BUCKSHOT loads for pests found in house and
garden. Pellets are BP’s
SUPER-BUCK (OO-buck, O-buck & #1 buck and nickel-plated OO buck) in the
12-gauge 2.75” hull.
C reminds buckshot loaders of the use of a very simple device
will greatly aid putting together buckshot loads.
The device is a short piece of wooden dowel about 4 inches long and
one-half inch in diameter.
It is called a POKE! The
POKE is used to press resisting buckshot pellets into stacking alignment.
The bottom layer of buck pellets may resist initial layer alignment
as many plastic wads have a slightly narrower internal base or molded with
small supporting structures in the internal base.
A quick POKE and the problem is solved.
The other pellets then usually stack into place.
(Off-sized buckshot can give the “stacking” reloader gray hair.
Note buckshot diameters and be aware
of the older “Western buckshot” sizing difference from the general
standard of “Eastern” buckshot.)
With OO-buck the pellet alignment in these 12-gauge loads is
two per layer. Each stacked
layer contains two pellets. In
these loads there will be five stacked layers equaling a total of ten OO
pellets. Once the first
layer is established then the remainder should drop into place (2 pellets in
5 layers =10 pellets, 518 grains [or very close]) - with maybe only a POKE
or two for stacking alignment.
(The POKE is also used to simplify pressing cork, felt & fiber wads
into wads and hulls.)
With O-buck (2 pellets in 5 layers = 10 pellets , 484 grains
[or very close]) is loaded in the same manner.
#1 buck is loaded with 3 pellets per stacked layer in 4 layers
= 12 pellets, 490 grains or very close.
