Default 28 gauge load

My current load is
Old AA Winchester hulls
AA wads
Chedite primer
Unique powder
2-3/4
3/4 oz lead

I’m just about out of unique powder and unable to get more,
Does anyone have a powder recommendation for the AA Winchester that is currently available.

Bob, I use the old compression formed AA hull as well, pink 28g CB wad, C209 (CX2000) primer, and 14.4gr longshot powder in Briley tubes. Hodgdon lists no C209 loads so I started with the F209A 14.0 published load and increased the powder charge until I got the target breaks that I was looking for. I am also using 16.7gr in my 20g Rem GC loads since I have been unable to get Universal powder which I've used in the 20 and 28 gauges for many years.

Bob -I use 20/28 Powder in similar loads with the CFAA hulls. There are no published loads for this, so I sent them out to Precission Reloading for testing. Billy

I use 20/28 also. It’s pretty readily available.

There is good load data for HS-6 and CF AA 28 hulls also, have a couple pounds but havent tried it yet. Universal is great if you got it( still have a 4 pounder). I use 20/28 even though there are no published loads with it and old CFAA. I dropped the powder a little and shooting it in modern Ugartechea and Dickinson 28's

I like Universal, however it is hard to find. HS6 works well also.
