AP-70N appears in my old paper ADI book 3rd edition november 2000
cowboy shotshell data all loads shown are 1200fps at slowest,
winchester compression case.win 209 primer WAA12 22grn AP-70N
with remington case all the same but 21.5grns for 1255fps
thats once n 8th loads.... SEEMS YOUR ap70n is for the heavy end of loads....
Thanks KS, worked this time:thumbsup:Quote:

Having asked and been given a one word reply, I deemed it appropriate not to challenge the answer or ask a further question.
As you say, "Cowboy loads," which nowadays seem to favour Trail Boss.Quote:

12 Gauge
Case: Winchester AA compression formed (Should be the same in the new Winchester case)
Primer: Win209 or Fiocchi 616
Wad: WAA12 (1-1/8th wad)
Powder: ADI AS30N/Hodgdons Clays
Shot: 1-1/4oz Lead Shot
11 grains = 851 fps @ 5970 psi
12 grains = 910 fps @ 6915 psi
13 grains = 944 fps @ 8610 psi
14 grains = 985 fps @ 9840 psi "
Subsonic loads with similar shot weights however greatly reduced powder charges. It is from these that I create loads for my Spanish Laurona sbs and started with when seeking subsonic loads in the Norwegian silenced Sulun Tac 12 semi .
you could be pushing poop uphill till you source another powder perhaps....
Nope.........But possibly the after effects of "stuff" not leaving and / or blocking the barrel in mind?Quote:

Time and caution will show. Oh, and of course, no choking.
I can tell you now,when that slug was bouncing around woolshed walls n rails I WAS FAIR CRAPPING MY DAKS.....NOT recommended.
Interesting to remember that both the English Snider and Martini Henry projectiles finally settled up with a weight of 480 grains, basically the same weight as the modern day Lee 1 ounce key slug.
There is little to fear from them bouncing around as the user has a neat taget rack consisting of a hanging heavy carpet to which the tagets are attached. The projectiles don't bounce, they go straight through and end up in the earth behind the rack.
Hi would anyone happen to have any 12g data using trailboss as mentioned on page 2? Using it with all Winchester products hull,waa12 win 209.i have some trailboss and have run out of 12g powder.be great if i could find data.
Cheers
@Kiwilad2021 An answer in your other post. Please don't post the same question in two different threads.... It makes my brain hurt to decide which to answer.Quote:

might be worth it to give you KNOWN DATA...
