Double Lab & Others:
I did a bit more testing with the new Claybuster 3/4 oz. wads and Alliant's new Extra Lite powder today. Result: I've found my new all-time favourite clays load:
3/4 oz. of No. 8, Claybuster wad, 14 grs. of Extra Lite and Fiocchi 209 primer in AA 2 3/4 inch case.
(if you try this, scale your powder charge to be sure. MEC bushing No. 27 does it for me)
Try this on any clays target at any common range and you'll never shoot the shoulder busters again. For me, that includes my current huge supply of 7/8 oz. loads.
BTW ... I've shot the above 3/4 oz load in 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 inch chambers. No noticeable difference in any respect.
Hope this helps some of you keep the old doubles shooting without issue.
Best, Kensal
