Default Looking for an 8 gauge fiber load

Hi Fellas, I found an 8 gauge double with all the goodies.... 1909 Nitro proofed..I was looking for a trap style load, I do not hunt...using fiber wads. I have Tom's books and others. 60 gr. of Blue dot seems like a lot...

Thinking under two oz. of lead, Rem hull, Win hull, or brass hull..I have all of them. any suggestions?

Thanks

Dennis

1 3/4ox shot 40grs blue dot and a over powder wad a fiber wad and a over shot wad followed by a roll crimp. A Remington 8 ga plastic wad will also work.

Yup, all that Blue Dot is too much. How about a faster powder, like Green Dot or Unique and 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 ounces of shot? PM me, telling me what kind of shotgun you have and I will send you all the plastic wads you need. I'm a little possessive of my fiber wads, but we'll talk. I need your requirements and your address.
