16 bore paradox questions
16/11/14 12:47 PM

Just took delivery of a Manufrance 16 bore hammer paradox, and need some advise. I am currently loading 2 12 bores, one a rifle, and one a paradox. Both use Federal paper hulls nicely. 16 bore paper is not quite so easy to come by, so will likely have to go with plastic. Bore dia is .673, so guess a slug of about .671-.672 will be OK, but need advise on weight. I will order a SB mould. I likely will garrote crimp, with cork wads and Unique powder.

Paradox rifling is not sharp, but rounded. Have not measured the muzzle dimensions yet. Proofed at 900 BAR, 2 3/4", in Jolly Old. Proofs say " noire 0.4.50 balle"- 4 Dr black, 50 gram ball? Other proofs are for smokeless and shot.

So- any thoughts on Fosbery style conical weight, and possible starting charges of Unique? Any hard data?

Thanks, Doug
