Does anyone have good recipe for 3"#6 lead load .

Pretty sure we aren't allowed to share data on here, but Ballistic Products or Lyman is a good starting point.

I'm not sure if we can share data but you got good advice. Look it up in a Lyman book. They'll give you all sorts of choices that are all safe. Don't ask some random poster what they think. You don't know if the load was tested

Ballistic Products Archives has a good recipe for heavy turkey load 3" using nickel-plated lead. I rolled #7s and they work great from "shoe top" out to 25 yards using a Trulock full or improved modified

Thanks for all who offered advice.

Ballistic products advantages manual has quite a few.

Not sure what your goal is, but if you hope to better Winch LBs for stretching the 20's legs with lead, give up now.

I think I will look at 7.5s instead of 6s fo 25yds and under pentatrion really surprised me.

Agreed. If you are looking for 25 and under for the open barrel of a double, 7.5s would be a great choice.

I've got a pheasant load I've had tested if you want it message me. Pretty much same as golden pheasant. I use it for. 35 and under
