When I began trap shooting back in the early 1960s the Federal paper was THE hull for loading. Federal primer, 23 grains of Red Dot, nitro card, two Felton Blue Streaks and 1 1/8 ounce of shot. Pretty soon replaced the nitro card with the Alcan PGS (Plastic Gas Seal) and dropped the powder to 18 or 19 grains. Nowadays I load them with Clays, WAA12SL and 7/8 ounce of shot.
