doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Anyone done the math reloading 28ga AA's?

Wild - How did you learn about the rebate? Do you have to have the shells in hand in order to claim the rebate?

I load a lot of 28 and 20's with Long Shot. Most are for modern guns a few are not. I have one or two loads where the velocity and pressure are both favorable for doubles. I just sent one 20 ga load off for testing that should be 7/8, 1200 fps and very reasonable pressure for a double. What I am worring about with them is velocity spread, consistent pressures and cold weather performance. I sent ten off yesterday for testing plus one to have them disassemble to verify my load. Only use in cold weather will answer if they are tempature sensitive like a some other low pressure loads were. But if I can find a 1150-1200 fps load with low pressures even for just warm weather I'll be happy.

KY,
Good morning.
This is from the Alliant site. 28ga Win AA hulls
3/4 1,350 Cheddite Pro Reach Duster 2834 17.2 9,980
3/4 1,300 Cheddite Pro Reach Duster 2834 16.4 8,540

I shoot this load with 15.0grs. Should be mid 7K EZ. I haven't pressure tested it yet but you get the idea.

From IMR site. 20ga. AA hulls
RXP rem 209 800x 16.5 7/8oz 1200fps 7500 psi

For 7/8oz I use this load with 15.5gr. and Cheddite primers. Haven't pressure tested yet.

I don't shoot in cold weather. 35 deg min.


Hope this helps,
Bill

Actually, this has been all over the net and in print advertising. This offer by Winchester has been going on each summer for several years now. You have to cut the UPC label from each box of shells, include the original sales receipt and submit them with the rebate form.
