I have a ton of Longshot anyone care to share a Longshot 28g recipe?

Nine year old thread and I'm still using Unique for 20 and 28 and I see no reason to change to anything else after 50 plus years. Oddly, in two NSSA World Shoots, I have not missed a 20 gauge bird with my Unique reloads. Yup, 200X200.

I used nothing but Winchester 540 for years shooting 28 gauge skeet . This stuff was great , then at some point they saw fit to quit selling it anylonger . It’s my understanding HS-6 is the same thing , but don’t take my word for it check into it before using . Well read this it says it is the same thing ! https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/hodgdon/hodgdon-hs-6 Quoted from the above link , HS-6 is truly an outstanding spherical propellant and identical to Winchester's discontinued 540

I’ve got close to twenty pounds of W572 but other then a few test loads I’ve not really fooled with it much .

Andy, I use Longshot for my 28 gauge. I have the recipe printed out next to the MEC 600 Jr, which is at my Dad's house. I should be over there at some point this week and I will send you the recipe. It is all I use for my 28 reloads.

I'm new to 28 ga loading and was using Universal, but now with it's unavailability I am switching to save it for my 7/8 oz 16 ga loads. I still have an unopened 4 lber. Recently picked up some HS-6 which has been touted as making good loads( 3/4 oz) over on the 28 Ga Society reloading forum, but havent loaded any yet. Hodgdon does list loads with it. I plan on mostly using 20/28 as I do have 13 lbs of it

I have also used unique powder for about 30 years and now using it for 16 gauge loads as well.

I have a nice target load for the light 5.5lb guns with 800X and Fiocchi hulls if anyone wants the info. Thanks all SXS ohio

Good to know. I had been using Universal for 28g for years. I have plenty of Unique but it's hard finding any Universal. Also have plenty of Longshot so that gives me another option. Vielen Danke!!
