Default Powder Choices

Like most everyone the powder shortage is starting to have consequences.

My Universal Powder is almost gone: I've read where several of you have used Winchester 572 and American Select in your 16 gauges. I just sourced 572 and will be reloading and testing it in my 2 1/2 RST Hulls. Has anyone used 7625 in their 16 gauge 2 1/2 RST Hulls and how many grams pushing 1 oz hunting loads.

Have any tried 7625 in their 12 gauge 2 1/2 RST hulls pushing 1 oz hunting loads?

Thanks everyone for assisting in my search for powder alternatives.

I’ve used 7625 in everything from the short 10 to the 28 . Done the same thing with Unique . Win 572 I have a pretty decent supply of but I’ve just made test loads pretty much by the manual . I still use 7625 for most all of my 10 gauge loads as well as buck/slug loads in the 12-16-20 .

I’d used about 4-5 pounds of American select and got a bunch more then later let a friend have it all .
