Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Has anyone got a good CAS load figured out using Titewad and 7/8 ounces of shot? I got a keg of Titewad for what I thought was a good price ($2 less a pound than Clays or Red Dot) and I'm looking for data. Hodgdon's website starts at 1250 fps, and that's a bit heavy for CAS knockdowns. Anyone done any experimenting with Titewad? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Seamus Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I got this load from another cowboy a couple years back. 13 grains Titewad with gray Claybuster in AA Hull. It is a nice soft load and it should handle all knockdowns. The wife likes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed them and all I got was a recommendation to switch to a powder that doesn’t exist in any of the stores that I’ve been In lately. But thanks!

Sedalia Dave Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Go to the ClayBuster website and look up load data for their CB0175-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blast Masterson Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Downloading a shell is more complex than uploading one. Remember that Speed and Shot Weight = Energy to knock down a target. The 1250 fps speed with 7/8oz is not the same recoil energy as with 1 1/8 as you know. I would slowly lower the charge from the listed recipe and monitor the adverse effects of a light load, not just the fps. I have a very light Cimarron 1889 where even a Remm STS is too much. I went with Alliant Ultra Lite after my other powders failed under a 1 oz load. You may consider keeping the shot weight up as you lower the powder charge. A heavier shot load takes longer to get going, giving more time to burn powder completely and cleaner. The added weight does not effect recoil as much as changing the powder charge.

Dusty Devil Dale Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Haven't used Titewad for CAS SG. With 7/8 oz of lead, 12 gn of Hodgdon ExtraLite with a pink Claybuster does the job really well and is "wife friendly". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good crimp on the shells and it takes down my shotgun targets at 10 yards with authority. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
