20 gauge buckshot

[bernie]

I have a friend that started looking for some 20 gauge buckshot, but obviously cannot find any. I have a 20 gauge press but cannot find any 20 gauge buckshot data. I have an older Ballistic Products Buckshot manual but the 20 gauge loads are pretty much using Activ Hulls or Scot Solo 1500 powder. Can anyone point me to some 20 gauge buck shot data?

Try the fourth edition of the BP buckshot manual. They use Fiochi, Rio, and Cheddite hulls and several different powders. Most of the loads in the manual require components most easily purchased through BP. (At least in my neck of the woods)

I would just take a lead bird shot load and swap it for number 3 buck shot, make sure the shot weight is really close to being the same.
The only place I know you can get number 3 buck shot for sure is going to be ballistic reloading products dot com.
That's where I got my lead BBs from.
