Relod 2 3/4 12 guage Challenger hulls with steel?

[Stewienb]

Hey all,
I’ve been having a hell of a time trying to find reload data to reload challenger two and three-quarter inch 12 gauge with steel shot for duckhunting this fall. I’d also like to try reloading Remington gun club green hulls with steel shot as well. I bought the Lyman reload manual but can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. Does anyone have any info or any advice? Thanks in advance

Look for data using Chedditte hulls. That is what your Challengers are.

Remington Gun Club, STS, and Nitro27 all load the same.

The only data I have for 2 3/4 Cheddite steel is for 6 or 7 shot and 13/16 oz shot.Herco powder in the new Alliant manual.

IIRC Hodgson Powders has a lot of data using Chedditte (challenger) hulls.

Precision Reloading website has steel shot reloading data for Cheddite 2 3/4 hulls

There is only one powder worth using when doing steel reloading and it is alliant STEEL
