I am not a trap shooter, but I shot with my neighbor at the Lewis Wetzel gun club in Wheeling Wv on Saturday. I brought my 16 ga Rizzini with several boxes of reloads including some 7/8 oz loads with the DR 16 wad. All I can say is I cant wait to reload a bunch more. The difference is like comparing a kiss on the cheek to a slap-- going to get a 3/4 oz bar and try those also.
One of the guys had just loaded 3/4 oz with red dot and the CB oo175 wad. He gave me a box to shoot thru my Francotte 12 and I was so impressed. HE also let me shoot some thru his gas Beretta and it was like shooting a 22. The birds were breaking nicely with this load and it has certainly made me a believer in these light loads.

A friend and I shot a round of clays yesterday, both useing the 3/4oz loads. He had just bought a H&K 12ga SxS with flush choke tubes. He was useing IC and one marked Cyl/Skeet [ whatever that meant ]. Anyways, he was turning them into dustballs at 30yds with the Cyl/skeet choke. I really believe the light loads tighten up whatever choke you're useing. Paul

I loaded some of the 3/4 loads (clay buster 175 wad, 16.5 grams red dot, fed 209a primers and federal hulls) and finally braved some of this Midwest heat wave to try them out. What a nice load. Very soft on the shoulder and consitant down range hits out to 40 yards. Thanks for all the help

I loaded up and shot a bunch of the 3/4 oz shells using the claybuster wad, clay dot and chedite primers. WOW very nice and effective and the recoil is nothing. I shot these loads in both my Parkers and it is very kind on the old guns and this old shooter. Thanks all Craig

I don't see a Clay Buster 0175 12 gauge wad in Precision Reloading ?

They do however show a 0178 that is supposed to be their copy of the Winchester WAA12L wad .

The claybuster 0175 wad is specific for a 3/4oz. load. I used to use the 0178 wad (or WW12L) for my 3/4oz. loads but the since the 0175 came out that's all I use. Took the recipe right off the claybuster sheet in the bag- 15.5gr. Clays, WW209 (I now use Cheddite primers) and either the old AA hulls or Rem. STS/Gun Club. What a wonderful load.

Me too! There is probably a reason I shoot my best scores with the 28 ga., that being low recoil!

Has anyone seen a published 3/4oz load using PB powder? I have a lot of PB on hand that I use for 7/8oz loads.

Dave;
Check out the Hodgdon website. They have plenty of 24g loads at low pressure and modest velocity. 3/4oz is 21g. I've played with a 13/16oz load which is 23g. Drop me a PM or call and I'll fill you in on what I've got.
