19gr of Nobel GM3, I've not ran them over a chrono but they certainly do the job :)

These work nicely and are €6.80/100 http://www.siarm.com/product_info.php?c ... cd55daafcc

Slugs, €2.90/10

I still have quite a few hulls and slugs here if you want to try them?

I might give Siarm a try once David reveals his recipe :) I also have to contend with the fact my Bora prefers short cartridges, which was another reason I never got started with shotgun reloading as the reloading manuals seem to give info for longer cartridges, most likely to keep pump-actions running smoothly

Here you go, I have taken it from the notes on the side of a box and if it does not make sense I can soon pop up to him and ask him questions.

They were built for a specific purpose so reasonably light was fine.

65,0mm case
28g plastic wad cut down to suit
2,2mm wad
15 grains Vectan AS

With the quantities i'll get through I need to find a factory fit wad, custom cutting them isn't really an option

I have been pushing the slug in to the wad and trimming the petals to suit. Takes a couple of seconds and is fine for low volume builds.

Er, Ovenpaa, this is the full bore forum, not Gardeners' Question Time. You needs to take this one up with Alien Titchmarsh...
