The only thing I have that is not on the loads is the wads The wads I have are claybusters in 1 1/8 and 1 1/4 Now I did find some light loads with that amount of shot , but in different wads , they used GU 1225 Is it ok to switch out wads for what I have and it shouldn’t change the pressure much , Or should I just try to find those GU1225 wads Also I have another bag of wads made by ballistic products, they called 12 gauge target & light field loads I’m thinking they for 1 ounce loads of shot Thanks for the help , I’m getting excited about learning this , only wish it was easy to find new bulls and stuff , getting hard up here in Canada to find it |

Get yourself a 1 oz and a 7/8 oz charge bar. You can make light loads with 1 and 7/8 oz recipes. Keep the FPS under 1200 and you'll be happy. Velocity and load weight are what cause felt recoil so keep the velocity down. I prefer 1150-1180 FPS. They break anything that a 1250-1300 FPS load can break. I noticed you originally said you had #6 and #7 1/2 shot. If you're loading for clays you can't use anything larger than 7 1/2. It's a safety factor.

Also look at the Claybuster WS. It had loads listed for their various wads and powders.

My experience is most of the Advantages stuff is high pressure high velocity loads. I'd look at the powder load data on their respective web sites as Harold mentioned. 12 gauge?

You don't say how much shot. It sounds like you want target loads and if so 1oz is more than enough. Myself, I use mostly 3/4 and 7/8 for trap where all the birds are on edge. Many of BPI loads are computer generated. In other words they haven't been tested with a pressure barrel for actual pressures. Alliant also has a web site with many loads. You'll have to go to CBers website, or on their bags for 3/4oz 12ga loads.

I have a beautiful 7/8 oz load for 2 3/4" 12g but it's 16g Clays powder.
