Thing about the 2 3/4 cheddites is they need fillers to load 3/4 & 7/8. You read recipes that say they will handle lighter shot loads but I gave it up as a lost cause. Too many leaking crimps. 1 oz they load fine. I found it easier to stick with the 2 1/2 inch shells . 12 g I load 7/8 & 1 oz. so no need to go to an once in my 16s anyway.

Hodgdons 3/4 data produces near exact duplicate of RST 3/4 . I buy RST shoot and save the hulls for later loading.
