Anyone Using Longshot Powder for 28ga Loads
 
I'm wanting to start loading for the 28ga and with the ongoing powder issues am considering using longshot powder simply because it's one that still available.

I would appreciate any input from those who have used Longshot for 28ga 3/4oz target type loads.

Thanks!!

Paul,
I am currently using Longshot, Fed. hulls, CB 1034 wads, 14 gr Longshot in a 3/4Oz load. Works well for me. I use the 12A mec bushing.

Paul,
I use the posted recipe on the manufacturer’s site for it using Cheddite hulls and primers, guilandi wad from Ballistic Products. Works great for me.

I use Longshot in my 28ga loads too.

Keavin;

That Federal hull is a straight wall hull as are the straight wall Rio's, Fiocchi and other Euro hulls I use. I am using the CB5034 HS wads meant for straight wall hulls.

How do those CB 1034 wads do in your load as they are meant for tapered hulls

Reason I asked is I have a boatload of those 1034's and would love to use them up.

Also use LGST for 28ga sporting and hunting load. See attached.

Thanks guy's, I knew the brain trust here would have the answers to my questions. Just hearing the great responses gives me confidence that Longshot is the way to go for me.

I like the recipe Chris posted using the AAHS hulls simply because I have a boatload of once fired AA hulls in both the old compression formed and HS versions. Now I need to shop around for the best deal on the powder and get busy cranking out some rounds.

Thanks again to everyone---You're the best!!
