Lemme know how that works for ya ! If my plans come to fruition I may have about 16 pounds of 572 that’ll hit the block !

herco is another one

Herco is way on the slow side for light 12 gauge target loads, but will probably be OK for the 20 except in the dead of winter. Anyone with questions should consult "burning rate charts" for suggestions and information.

HS-6 can be used in 28 ga, dont know about cheddite hulls. I picked up a couple pounds but havent loaded any yet. Havent looked into it's use in other gauges.

Win.AA hull. 1.125 oz shot, win209 primer, WAA12 wad,25 grs of herco, 1250 fps at 9500 psi. There are more loads and different components for herco. This one is from there web site.

That load is fine if you want to pump up to 1250 fps. Most shooters of clay targets don't want to shoot 1250 fps. At 1 1/8 ounces, 1250 fps is a punishing load, more like a pigeon load. High recoil, more velocity than required.

yes i get that, i wouldnt shoot 1 1/8 oz 12 ga or 1 oz 20 ga loads, way too heavy for me. by asking for loads like that i didnt think he was too concerned about FPS. standard trap load is 1140 to 1150 so back off 1 to 2 grs and should fall wright into 1140 or a little less. imho , (test the loads before you shoot them)

I’ve been looking for Universal for a long time. I can find anything else.

I recall reading last year that Hodgdon had announced a three year pause in production of the Clays line of powders, Clays, Universal Clays and International Clays to the dealers of their product. I believe they said it was due to a large government contract for other powders.

Is it true? I'll tell you in three years.

Many Hodgdon powders were made by ADI in Australia. Examples: ADI #APS350 = Hodgdon Clays, and ADI #APS450 = Hodgdon International. Here's what ADI announced in December 2021:

"APS Propellants – As we’ve previously informed, we’ve had to make the incredibly difficult decision to pause active development projects and cease production of commercial reloading products under the Australian Pistol & Shotgun (APS) range for the foreseeable future."
