Thread: "Desperately seeking", no not Susan, a 12 bore load with fibre,not plastic wads.

I'm not a Green Party supporter..............................Bother, just had to go and wash my fingers after typing those loathsome words, but having just acquired a " 'tween the wars" period English gun I am looking to create period loads , specifically, using fibre wads as opposed to plastic cup wads. The "Eley Impax" https://tinyurl.com/yjxwh22q is an example which, to quote their Spin Doctor's,

" the powder’s gentle, progressive burn delivers plenty of performance but the sort of barrel pressures your treasured side-by-side will love. ”

A kind and supportive a Wanganui consortium of Wilson's and a client supplied me with some Eley Impax and I have deconstructed one to find their inner secrets and it seems to be the powder.

10.93 grains of "PSB +3."

I have as much chance of getting, "PSB +3" as I hope the Show Pony has of being the Prime Monster after the next election.

Anyway, as my gun has a 2 1/2 inch chamber, reloading is the only option which although there is a move away from plastic wads, lacks a correlating move in the listing of fibre loads with modern day powders...........mainly 'cos so far, it is cheaper to buy than reload. Well until the supply dries up. :>(

SO, has anybody worked up, or is aware of, or is using a 12 bore 2 1/2 chamber, 1 oz or less load with modern powders?

If so, please do tell.
