The Alliant Website will be your friend with the Alliant Steel powder. They have data with the wads you are using at the velocity you want. Again, another excellent video. Keep em coming.
@@Duckslayer1096 I understand. After a while you begin to get a cramp in your brain when looking at so much data. I will say I think you have chosen the best wads to use. I have tried so many wads through the years and the TUPRW12 and TPS wads seem to be the toughest and offer the most protection. I like the TIPRW12 form Precision a little more myself.
I don't know how y'all are getting steel and blue dot to function properly in loads that light. Anything under 1.75oz loads with those powders always leaves me with significant unburned powder in the hull and barrel. I haven't done goose and duck loads, mainly turkey and buckshot so maybe a lot of you are getting good results with ultra slow powders and light payloads. I'm working with 0000 buckshot currently (0.380") 6 pellet 1.145 oz loads and Herco was about the slowest I could use without getting significant unburned powder. So I don't know if you'd get a little better results from picking a slightly faster powder, but it might be worth a try. I like the temperature test. I'd love to see the velocity of the same exact loads out of a 100 to 120F lunch box/cooler. Then compare the difference from 32F to 120F to see what the temperature stability of various powders are. Pretty sure no one has done a temp stability test on shotgun or pistol powders yet, a few guys have done some powders in rifle. Anyway, keep up the good work
From what I have read Alliant Steel needs to be compacted to burn the powder. Interesting idea on the high temperature test. That may have to wait until next summer. Starting to cool off now.
