I started reloading 3/4 ounce 20ga loads this past spring and have been quite pleased with their performance. Alliant Green Dot was my powder choice since I had it on hand for loading 12ga. In the Win AA hull I use Win 209 primers, 14.5gr of GD, WAA20 OEM wad with 3/4 oz of shot. This is supposed to produce 1200fpz at 9940 psi. You have to use the Win AA20 OEM wad as clones sit to deep too work with 3/4 ounce. I have had success loading Rem STS hulls using Rem 209P primer, 14gr GD, Claybuster clone of WAA20 wad and 3/4 ounce of shot. This is also supposed to produce 1200 fps at 9810 psi. From a cost perspective the STS reload is superior because the Claybuster wad is half the price and easier to find then the Win AA20 wad. Both are very comfortable to shoot. I shot quite a few of them at skeet this year and both loads have been consistent with strong and positive ignition.
