Home Forums Reloading Shotshells Loading HeviShot???......

Anybody here have any data, using TPS wads?

looking for 10 ga and 12 ga 3" info.

Thanks

No idea what a TPS wad is. Have you checked Ballistic Products archives? Tons of 12 & 10 gauge loads.

TPS,..Tungsten Propulsion Series of wads. Looks pretty much identical to their MultiMetal wads (whish BPI has discontinued ), but made for HeviShot/ITX.

BPI did have a HeviShot loading manual, but they have dropped that also, in favor of their ITX shot.

Yes, I have gone through their archived "load of the week". Found a couple different HeviShot loads, but not what I was looking for.

Here's a HeviShot recipe and a reloading manual. I haven't tried it, so can't comment.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already have the Bucks Run HS loading manual, and it only list's their SAM1 wads.

I am looking for data for Ballistic Product's TPS wads.

What hull do you plan to use?

10 ga, I have both Remington and Federal.

12ga, I have mostly 3" Remington hulls.

for the 10ga with Federal hulls;
Primer: Fed-209a
Powder: Steel at 44grs;
Wad: TPS1035 (wad must be slit);
Filler wad: (3) 12ga 1/4" cw/fw in base of wad-may vary by shot size;
shot: 1 5/8oz Hevi-shot;
Buffer: Mix 47 at 20gr;
velocity is 1340fps and has 9400PSI

No 10 or 12ga loads for Remington hulls in my book. Loads for 12ga Federal hulls use the MM1275 wad.

12ga with 3" Fiocchi hull;
Primer: Fed-209a
Powder: STEEL at 38grs:
Primer: Fiocchi 616:
Wad: TPS1275 (wad must be slit)
Filler Wad: (1)20ga 1/8" cw/fw in base of wad-may vary by shot size:
Shot 1 3/8oz Hevi-shot
Buffer: Mix #47, 20gr
Velocity: 1390 and 9,600psi

I have the 3rd Edition of BPI Handloading Hevi-Shot for reference. Let me know if you want/need more info.

REDGUN I have BPI's Advantages manual 7th edition and they have a few 10 ga. loads with TPS wads and Federal hulls and hevi-shot. Found my hevi manual #4. Lots of 10 ga. loads with Fed hulls. No loads for 10 or 12 ga Remington hulls.
