Light loads
I’m looking for a little help on some light loads
I can’t get a manual at this time , in a few weeks So far What I have Cheddite primers 209 Cheddite hulls 2 3/4 Clay buster wads Competition special short wads Powder Hodgdon longshot Hodgdon international powder Nickle Plated lead shot in 7 1/2 Nickle Plated lead shot in # 6 I can’t get my hands on the Advantages Reload manual If any has one , could you please send me a couple picture of the loads they have listed at like 8000 PSI Please and thanks |
The Hodgdon reloading site has plenty of great info, and would be the first place I'd look.Just Google Hodgdon reloading site. BTW, I assume you're looking for 12 ga?
|
Also look at the Claybuster WS. It had loads listed for their various wads and powders.
|
My experience is most of the Advantages stuff is high pressure high velocity loads. I'd look at the powder load data on their respective web sites as Harold mentioned. 12 gauge?

You don't say how much shot. It sounds like you want target loads and if so 1oz is more than enough. Myself, I use mostly 3/4 and 7/8 for trap where all the birds are on edge. Many of BPI loads are computer generated. In other words they haven't been tested with a pressure barrel for actual pressures. Alliant also has a web site with many loads. You'll have to go to CBers website, or on their bags for 3/4oz 12ga loads.

I have a beautiful 7/8 oz load for 2 3/4" 12g but it's 16g Clays powder.

The only thing I have that is not on the loads is the wads The wads I have are claybusters in 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 Now I did find some light loads with that amount of shot , but in different wads , they used GU 1225 Is it ok to switch out wads for what I have and it shouldn’t change the pressure much , Or should I just try to find those GU1225 wads Also I have another bag of wads made by ballistic products, they called 12 gauge target & light field loads I’m thinking they for 1 ounce loads of shot Thanks for the help , I’m getting excited about learning this , only wish it was easy to find new bulls and stuff , getting hard up here in Canada to find it |
