That would be a load very simular to the Cheddite 3" Dixie Tri-Ball load but in a 2.75" hull.

I know someone must have had this idea already so I'm looking for their recipe if you can help.

I just feel I could do a lot better without all that heavy pounding that the Dixie Tri-Balls are going to be dishing out! Still, I think a 12ga Double-Baller .600 in a 2-3/4" hull, like the Tri-Ball Dixie has but with two .600 RBs would do a great job too with just a hair less pounding! The Dixie Tri-Ball load is over 2 oz, but 2 RB's would falls right between a 1-3/8 and 1-1/2 oz. load which would still be very devastating in my book.

The Dixie Tri-Ball load uses the orange #TUPRW123 wad in the Cheddite 3" hulls and I see that there is even a 2-3/4" white #TUPRWW12 wad like the 3" orange #TUPRW123 wad at Precision Reloading. But they do not post the specs for their wads so it's hard to know if this would work out or not or if it's even close.

I have a lot of Cheddite 2-3/4 hulls and I like what I've been reading about the Dixie Tri-Balls and I can not see any reason why it wont work in the 12ga 2-3/4 unless there is some big difference in the 2-3/4 wad or maybe there is another wad out there that will work or maybe no wad using gas seal and felt wads.

BTW: I've been searching for over five days now on Goggle and many forums including this one to no good end, trying to find anything on a two rb load and nothing.

Thanks in advance. FB
 
As much as I have learned about reloading over the years I have never reloaded a shotgun shell. I think it may be time for me to learn. I wish I could help you more, but this is a free bump guys.
 
Thanks for your come-back Navy_Guns ljnowell

I have learned a lot, and read a lot from the links(below) and it will be 2012 before I put a dent into all the reading on these links given to me. I've pull together enough components from all the suggestions I've gotten so far and I have placed orders for wads, fillers, buffer and mold to get started. I will keep you posted on the good stuff. Thanks again fb
