HULL- Fiocchi 2 3/4" 12 GA.

SLUG- Ballistic Products AQ Slug

POWDER- Alliant Unique 29 gr.

PRIMER- Fiocchi 616 or Federal 209

WADING- 1 BPGS and 1/4" hard cardboard wad

CRIMP- Fold or Roll

 

VELOCITY- 1,500 fps

PRESSURE- 9,500 lup

 

This load in my smooth bore mossberg 500 gets 4" groups. With some tuning I'm sure 2" groups are possible.

I forgot to mention when crimping you turn a BPGS upside down and put it on top of the slug.

This looks like a good load, I would try crimping before roll crimping the hull.

I don't have that much experience in roll crimp versus star crimp, but I have found the star crimp works better for me.
