Re: "Paradox" NEF Single barrel conversions....(Loads)

Here's how I'me loading "paradoxically" so far:
BPI Multi-Hull 16 2 3/4" cases and slightly modified BPI roll-crimper

68gr Hodgdon's Triple Seven(H-777) eqauls bulk and aprox. vel. of 90 gr. FFg.
I load one 1/8" and one 1/16" nitro card over powder and a 1/2" fiber wad, then .662 roudn ball SPRUE down, some bullet lube, and then roll-crimp with BPI crimper in Makita drill. (Friction heat softens the plastic case so it will "roll" evenly, and melts and spreads the lube as bullet lube and seals case mouth.)
Vel. of this load is 1,300 fps from my NEF's 22" barrel.(Not bad for a near-440gr. ball :-)

71gr. of H-777 or 95gr. of FFg uses a single 1/8" notro card, then 1/2" fiber wad, etc.

74 gr. of H-777 or 100gr FFg uses single 1/16" nitor card, then fiber wad.

Recoil feels like a 16ga. (big surprise!;-), or a stiffish 20 ga. field load. or a "low recoil" Federal Tru-Flite 12ga. buck load.

I will be trying different wad combinations and powders in future.
