405grs of shot?

[fabsroman]

To be exat .92 ounces is what 405 grs converts to. 7/8 oz converted to a decimal equals .875 ounces. So, it looks like it is a little closer to 7/8 than it is to 1. However, 405 grains is extremely close to 26 grams and ends up being 26.24 grams to be exact. I believe that a 26 gram load is required for international skeet and international trap. AA even sells 26 gram and 24 gram shells.

What was he trying to load the shells for? I checked Alliant's website for reloading data and they only have it for 24 and 28 gram loads. I checked out both and it seems as though the 20 grains of Red Dot over 26 grams of shot isn't out of line. However, it depends on what primer was used, and that can sometimes be a little difficult to determine.
