So I've reloaded forever (12 Guage) for playing / hunting. Used to use a 19 grain sleeve but upped to a 21.5....it's my biggest one.
All my shotguns operate fine with this (bird guns).
Recently I bought a Dickinson hybrid XXPA 12BS. In semi mode, it won't cycle with my rounds (or with normal factory 2.75 bird loads). It's designed to run 3" and I guess mine are too girly....lol.
So....I wanna figure out a load that will work. Thinking 28-30 grains to start. My 21.5 weigh 1.5 so thinking upping that to 1 8-2.0 grams ...
That should cycle the action?
Any thots? I want to play with this bad boy but refuse to pay ridiculous 3" prices...
