Anyone have a solid recipe to reload 12ga 2.52" RST hulls with? Just a standard 1oz, 7k psi +/- lead load, for use in a damascus Lefever.

Those are Cheddite straight walled hulls. So any good data for 2 3/4” Cheddite hulls will work fine. If you don’t adjust the wad height the hulls might have to be roll crimped.

mark,
Look at Allaint's and Hogdon's web sites. There are many on the Hogdons site to choose from. You can also call claybuster: they have some loads listed on their site.
good shooting,

Mark,
Hodgdon's reloading site doesn't list a 2.5" cheddite hull in their online loads. They do show a 2 3/4" cheddite hull with basically the same load, but higher pressure. Does anyone know the pressure difference of a 2.5" hull compared to a 2.75" hull?
=== Hodgdon Site Load====
2.75" Cheddite hull
Cheddite 209 primer
20.6 grains International powder
GU-1225 wad
1 oz lead shot
1235 fps @7700 PSI
=======================
Ken
