RST makes 1 oz loads in their shells so there may be a 1 oz recipe for the cheddite hull. Any other tips for 1 oz loads even with different hulls?
The information you are looking for is supplied free of charge by the powder manufacturers and is printable online from their various websites. Various hulls, various powder, various wads, primers and various shot loads. Just not much on 16 gauge 2.5" loadings.
The shot cups I pictured above, ARE 1 oz. wad shot cups and you can load 1 oz. in those wad cups with ease in the Cheddite 2.5" hulls. You can increase the powder one shot bushing number or you can leave it at #25 with 1 oz., depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
The #25 bushing is a perfect low pressure load as noted above, that I've used for many years and it breaks clays, kills rabbits, quail, and dove and other upland game with ease in the 16 bore at over 40 yards all day long, from FULL choke 30" bores out West.....
Most of us have pet loads that we've used for many years that we've perfected with trial and error. A lot of us have learned over the years that 1 ounce does no more than 7/8 ounce in the 16 bore and the 12 bore as well. In fact we love the 7/8 ounce loads, to each his own though.
