FNH-SLP Light load or heavy load gas piston? | Shotgun Forum
2012年2月22日 · This is my first semi-auto and with the FNH-SLP you receive a light load and a heavy load gas piston. I have a decent amount of federal tactical low-recoil 00 but I would prefer this weapon to function with all my buckshot without needing to change the piston.
Heavy Loads - How Are They Defined? - Shotgun Forum
2015年2月14日 · A "Heavy" load (heavy field, heavy pigeon, etc.) would be anything more than 3DE. 3 1/4DE would yield 1200fps with 1 1/4oz shot, or it could yield 1255fps with 1 1/8oz of shot. Both would be considered heavy loads.
12 ga light/heavy loads - Cast Boolits
2016年6月14日 · What are you shooting at? 23/4 drams is a light target load. 3 drams is a heavy target load. #1/4 dr /1 oz is a light hunting load. 31/4 dr/ 11/4 oz is a medium hunting load. 33/4 11/4 is the old heavy duck load. For your gun any load of 1/18 oz at 1200fps is probably a light load. All 11/4 oz loads probably need to set on the heavy load.
What constitutes a heavy/light load for an A-5? | Shotgun Forum
2004年9月27日 · A three dram equlivant load of nitro powder weighs about 76 grains of FFG black powder and will push a 1 1/8 oz load at about 1100 fps. The tendency today is to get away from the old Dram Equlivant method and show the speed of the load and the shot size & type, i.e. "1 1/8 oz #6 lead shot at 1200fps", or "1 3/8 oz #2 steel shot at 1500fps.
Light Loads vs. Heavy Loads - Shotgun Forum
2008年6月13日 · The heavier a load is, the bigger each individual pellet is. So a number 9 load will have a couple hundred very little pellets, and the heavy loads like buckshot will have 8 - 16 very big pellets. For skeet, you usually want to use #9 as most of your targets are very close. The farther your target gets from you the heavier the load you want.
Light loads verses heavy loads - Shotgun Forum
2008年6月30日 · I've done the calculations before and to get the same recoil, a 1 oz will have a velocity 100-110 ft/sec faster than a 1 1/8 oz load. So, a 1 1/8 oz load with a velocity of 1,200 ft/sec will generate the same recoil as a 1 oz load running 1,300 ft/sec. (The actual felt recoil may fluctuate a bit based on rate of powder burn, etc.)
Heavy Bullets in the 45 ACP - Cast Boolits
2018年5月7日 · In one of the older Lyman load books there are loads given for this bullet in the 45 ACP cartridge for use in the autopistol. One of the uses Bulleye power in the 4.5 to 4.8 grain range.

Heavy Lead-Winchester loads - Shotgun Forum
2017年1月1日 · No. Heavy and light needs a point of comparison. If a 1 oz. 12 gauge load is a light target load, than that makes an 1-1/8 oz. load either standard or "heavy." It is poor language, of course, for if you say you want a light gun, no one knows what actual weight is being referred to. Adjectives need a noun to modify.

Buckshot considered a Heavy Load? - Shotgun Forum
2016年8月19日 · I picked up a h and r excell with 18 inch barrel, it has a cylinder thing inside of it that you flip around to better fire heavy or light ammo. I plan to use reduced recoil 2.3/4 8 pellet 00 buckshot. I am not sure what determines a heavy or light load. I dont know the weight of the shot, it wasnt on the box (remington managed recoil).
